Sensational news!

This now means that there is a real choice on this route

Before Jetstar was a far nicer way to fly, but given that Hawaiian have an alliance with Virgin Australia it's great news!

Has anyone ever seen a business sale fare on Hawaiian ?

$3400 return is a bit much!

Sensational news? Why? This service already existed. Does a change to in aircraft suddenly make it 'sensational'?

You could do the trip through AKL with NZ return for $1,427.16 with Credit Card Fee and Taxes but without Travel Insurance, if you didn't mind the extra stop. I'd certainly do it this way to: save money and: avoid JQ (which I do due to past experiences)

Coming from the person who has "Still, huge anticipation of 787 arrival" as their signature.....

Why huge anticipation of a new/change of aircraft ?

I'm with Andrew - it is senstational news. The HA 330s will be new and offers a new product with good fares - why isn't that sensational.

What's the bet QF put the A332 on the route to replace the B763!

That's your 'Flame'? Because I think the 787 is going to be awesome and I don't think a 330 is?

I'm with you on the Jetstar comment though. Our household has a 'no Jetstar' policy on any and all travel.

Mike, just curious, are you going to try out JQ's 787? I'm also not so keen on JQ but I am still keen to go on 787 even if it will be JQ...
