Re: Original Eastern to HNL?

Interesting they tired to get to HNL but apparently it never worked out prior to shutting down the airline. They even had bag tags printed for the service. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/560AAOSwmQNi8di-/s-l1600.jpg https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/8vgAAOSwrQNi8di-/s-l1600.jpg

Re: Original Eastern to HNL?

Found an interesting article and think I recall they did special frequent flyer charters to attract business. Don't think HNL was a schedule service but something added in 1990 to attract business flyers and reward them with special flights to Hawaii. https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/fl-xpm-1990-08...

Re: Original Eastern to HNL?

Thanks for the info. I came across a cool original Eastern unused bag tag for HNL with a revision date of 1990. I never knew they served HNL or perhaps an interline deal?

I was looking for info on the original Eastern airlines and did they ever serve Honolulu (HNL)? I know this group will know the answer. Any info?

Yea the aircraft was spotless! Of course it was in showroom condition especially for an air show but imagine they also had a lot of time to prepare with little activity through COVID. Hopefully the program will pick up some momentum and get back to help folks around the world.
