Hawaii I'm sure is very nice, but HNL is not much use for connecting onto the UK/Europe...
Who knew Iceland was such a vacation destination? LOL.
Quite a lot of people actually, you should become better informed about things.
Funnily enough, those foolish folks at BC's international gateway airport seem to be reasonably happy about the Icelandair services also starting from YVR next spring:
YVR > Flight Information > Latest Information > Icelandair to Fly from YVR
More flight options for BC travellers - how dare YVR welcome such a development!
