Great idea for a nonstop to Orlando. Very surprised that it’s only happening now!

Ahhh Struth! I need more Aulani points.

Interesting timing as I had been considering a Aulani-WDW trip for next summer. Originally had an Aulani reservation, but now have a February WDW trip that I'll need to move... so maybe...

Looking at the schedule, looks like they will have the plane sit in MCO for a full 24-hours - likely for crew rest. it may makes sense to launch such flight when aircraft utilization is low... but longer term they would have to increase frequency so that they always have a crew available in MCO to turn around the plane same day... Otherwise, this route won't last

Well I am glad a COVID vaccine is around the corner and Hawaii is so strict about entry.

Interesting development. We've been to Aulani 5 times now and our current preferred route is on DL from MCO to ATL and then non-stop to HNL. This will allow us to skip the short hop to ATL. Hope prices are competitive.

Ok, for idiots like me who can’t do the conversion, how many hours is the flight?
