The budget carrier has confirmed it will operate its first test flight to Hawaii on Tuesday, the next step it must take in order to get certified to fly over the ocean to the islands.

It works going eastbound on the redeye home as well. Just tune in KNX 1070, L.A. They're still doing traffic reports at 0100 local time...Hilarious! You can usually receive it at top of climb.Just don't follow that ADF needle too far. I think their antenna it at the top of Mount Wilson.

I remember taking a few UAL 747 flights from SFO to HNL back in the late 90s. That was the best way to travel...lots of space and arriving at a beautiful island in a beautiful aircraft.

They could put something like 800 seats in 380! Don't forget the reverse bulkhead seats too. People would pay extra to sit straight up and facing the rear, for 4 hours.
