Since we had the Transatlantic thread I thought we might have on one Transpacific flights and some of your experiences.
When was your first Transpacific flight, which route did you fly and what airline was it on. Feel free to add more info

They were flights to remember, from a vacation to remember. Had been my dream from grade 1 to visit Australia, but alas, my wife made that dream impossible.
Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.
As I remember the flights going to Vietnam, they wouldn't let the soliders off at HNL, was that the policy also for going to Clark?
First flight across the Pacific, not on Uncle Sam's dollar was"
1982 -With QF the routing was SFO-HNL-BNE-SYD. Arrive in BNE before the curfew lifted so we just flew around for half an hour.

No, we got to get off but I don't remember for how long. I just remember having enough time to eat at a restaurant. We also got to stretch our legs at Wake. I guess not too many people can say they've been there . Too bad I don't remember anything. I also did a flight from Clark back to Travis but we stopped in Guam instead of Wake.

March 2004--AA JFK-NRT 777
Not the ideal glamorous first Transpac, but it wasn't bad considering it was a free ticket.
