@dwags59 I dont understand why you would do that and not take the 777 from OGG-KOA-ORD...(It has to go to KOA because the runway isnt long enough to go OGG-ORD nonstop)
I guess the 777 can land @ ogg but it makes a short hop to koa to get passangers and fuel. You can check my flight from ord to ogg its United Flight 3. Its kinda crazy that they do it that way but i stay in maui so its e-z to get to maui and a all nite flight home on UAL 2 we get to ord at like 5:15 and catch a CRJ to northern Michigan TVC at 10am. I just wish united would update the 1st class cabin so we can sleep better!!!!
Sorta..... its also to make it worth while. ORD-OGG-ORD and ORD-KOA-ORD would not have good load factors but combine the 2 are you get 90%+ load factors.
I was on an American Airlines 777-223ER plane from DFW-OGG when our 767-323ER plane was grounded. We landed with a full load. Kahului Airport can even fit a 747-400ER plane too.
The 777 is the safest plane to fly on overwater, it has an excellent safety record and united being the largest 777 operator in the US i believe the fleet # is 53 777's
Nice video! I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and I would really like to visit Hawaii, but it is soooo expensive for us, brazilians...maybe in the future =)
Maui's runway is very short and yes I was surprised a triple seven could do that I would have thought the biggest thing you could fly into Maui would be a 757 but I was wrong.
Hey, i know this may sound like a dumb question, but what do the little moving things on the wings do?

UAL 777s out of OGG fly to the west coast. To go to ORD they make a stop in KOA and are then able to load up and continue onto ORD.

Took the UA 777 non-stop from ORD-OGG in March, 2006. They definitely fly 777s to and from Maui.

UA does operate 777s to Maui, but it can only take off with minimum fuel. That's why it stops in Kona to fuel up and fly back to the Midwest.

No not true. I flew a 777 from Maui to San Fran.
