I know that some airlines have tride to turn HNL into a transpacific gateway, but what if an airline like NW, CO, or UA started flights from most major US cities(ORD, LAX, SEA, SFO, SAN, DFW, IAH, IAD, BOS, EWR, JFK, MIA, ATL, PHL etc..) and continued them on to Asian destinations which would be an advantage because more Asian cities(BKK, SIN, CGK, DPS, KUL, DEL, BOM, etc...) could be served because of HNLs location.

Many of you have said that this is unattractive because its too out of the way for passengers, but what if the airline did somehting like offer free stopovers in HNL for a day or two? This would improve the Hawaiian economy and make HNL more of a major airport not just serving tourists.
