[@EdwardTravels]

i have a Tokyo to Spokane flight coming up with a plane change in Hono;ulu. im looking forward to it

[@druiz012]

Well, Avios is also going to combine points next year. One mileage program. Thats going to be great.

[@TheTravelLane]

It will be very interesting to see how this develops going forward. I am really hoping HA will convert to AS at a 1:1 ratio

[@TheTravelLane]

What is your prediction for how the miles between HA and AS will convert?

[@mitchell.9632]

Quite the totality of mergers over decades. So much for shopping the competition when you look into who owns who it is a bunch of brands owned by the same few companies. Rare until up to a few years ago up until a year (though there was significant antitrust actions ~half a century and before) and change ago to see suits suing and using antitrust.

I think Honolulu could be a great hub between North America and the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, giving connections at SFO and LAX a run for it’s money. I don’t think it will be a good hub for Asia as it just adds too much flight time compared to direct flights.

SEA could also become a MUCH better Asia gateway hub.

[@longliveJimmyCarter]

next Frontier and United

This would be a very interesting duo but I suspect it would be blocked by regulators. If it did work, what do you think is the most likely way the status would match between each other?

[@lcthevideogamer]

Highly doubt it
