China Air is not my favorite airline since their current fights from HNL to BKK make 2 stops - Taipei and Japan and arrive at about 0120 in the morn (if you are lucky - last time i used them they were about 2 1/2 hours late arriving). HOWEVER.....they have a new flight...instead of leaving between 10 Am and noon like most flight out of Hawaii...this one leaves at 8 AM.....goes to Taipei...with a 50 minute layover....yes you heard me....50 minute......not 4 or 5 hours..and get this...it arrives at 1545.....instead of the usual after midnight.....almost like getting an additional day....this flight goes into effect on July 17.
