One of the coolest things about being an AvGeek is finding unusual routes or products to explore. Some of the longest domestic routes in America are between the East Coast and Hawaii, with journey lengths longer than many overseas international routes.
United Airlines, Delta Air Lines and Hawaiian Airlines (now part of Alaska Air Group) all operate nonstop flights — some more than 11 hours long — from the New York area to Honolulu. The 4,983-mile flights from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) — operated by both Delta and Hawaiian — are a touch longer than flights from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) at 4,962 miles long, making the former the longest domestic flight. Delta and Hawaiian operated an even longer flight between Boston and Honolulu, but both carriers discontinued those services last year.
I have flown Delta's route from JFK to Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), but I recently had the opportunity to try out Hawaiian's offering.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
