Folks,
While I am no fan of Onestar, Honolulu is a particular nightmare for anybody, once you have pushed back and started up --- for quarantine and customs you have "departed" .
Organizing an "instant" arrival in HNL, especially if it is a late night/early morning departure just doesn't happen, goes double if "your" quarantine staff have clocked off and gone home as soon as the last aircraft door was closed.
I am all too familiar with the "process".
Tootle pip!!
