Air NZ has long flights AKL/USA mainland & YVR I think, going via HNL with separate crew to fly eg. HNL/LAX/HNL. Painful for pax having to get off at HNL, collect bags & get back on board. Maybe Americans might make exception or HNL/LAX would be a domestic flight & no 2nd customs at LAX etc.

property is well & truly stuffed after overly generous welfare ends. Might take a few months. ANZ bank says June/July. Media will overhype it as usual & concentrate on all the mortgagee in possession auctions with no reserves.
Anyone who pays top dollar for any real estate now is crazy. Jetstar doesn't have a good name but either does Qantas. JQ and QF might have a bad name as you say but VA rex and all are no better they all cancel flights they are all delayed ppl complain it’s human nature. |

Simple Flying says pax have to stay on board so some deal must have been made with US CBP
https://simpleflying.com/air-new-zea...waii-stopover/ I can see other airlines like QF, UA, DL, AA doing Australia/mainland USA instead of nonstop via HNL with same aircraft, at least initially, although gues that would mean HNL/LAX wouldn't be a domestic flight & all pax would have to go thru customs/immigration at LAX, SFO etc. If HNL stop means staying on board, then maybe Jetstar could do same as NZ, just instead of from AKL from OZ ports. ie. BNE, SYD, MEL/HNL/LAX with change of crew at HNL & that crew flying HNL/LAX/HNL, esp from BNE with QF now only BNE/USA mainalnd nonstop with no VA. |

I think come the second half of 2021, the JQ 787’s will be working their proverbial off. They’re even forecasting being ahead of their precovid domestic levels by March. Just imagine when International opens up?

They’ve all had a bad experience with a last minute cancelled JQ flight and the lack of ground support that goes with it.
Obviously if a recession kicks in, all bets are off, but initially I think full cost will be popular for the leisure market, especially if uncertainty about borders still exists and the possibility of cancellations abounds. |

Mate you're dreaming. There will be many more years before borders open. The virus continues to mutate and everyone will need an annual Covid vaccination for the latest strain. Looks at Brazil and South Africa, new, out of control versions.
