I'm a little disappointed COA/CMI didn't get any routes. It's takes 3.5 hours to fly from here to Japan, but it takes almost 2 hours on the train from Narita to downtown Tokyo. A direct flight to "downtown" would be awesome.
This is still possible for CMI, though.. granted, passengers would have to transition to COA at PGUM, but still a possibility. Does CMI have service to RJAA?
I wonder if this (RJTT-PHNL) will be one of the routes that HAL throws their newly received A330 onto. IF so, that just screams of classic AWE.. Hopefully, they make it more profitable than AWE did with their B742s..
