Thread: Whats the most interesting routing from an airline you have seen?

You're posting the famous ISLAND HOPPER. Continental Micronesia has been doing that run since 1968? The island hopper consist of usually going from Guam to Chuuk to Pohnpei to Korsae to Kwajailein atoll to Majuro and then to Honolulu. Since the merger, it is now UAL. NGO is Nagoya. You can go to Nagoya from Guam. You don't have to do the island hopper. You can go from HNL to GUM without doing the island hopper. The island hopper is for island service to those living on those islands and also for a few adventure going tourist. Talk about a milk run. We had flight mechanics doing the island hopper. Most of them didn't have ETOPS training at the time, therefore, they were confined to doing the island hopper. If you had ETOPS, you flew mostly to HKG and NGO, FUK, NRT. The island hopper mechanics had to stop in HNL for the night and then come back on another island hopper. It was a long haul, money was good, but they hit some atolls that were rough landings and very tight landings especially in Chuuk. I was thinking of doing the island hopper on the way back this time from Philippines but not 100 percent sold on that yet. Of particular interest to me is PNI. Maybe if the flights look good. I will definately try to avoid Narita this time.
