I think the timing is perfect for people who use LAX or SFO as connections to further desintations out of the US. Arriving on the mainland at dawn means you can connect on any flight to whereever you want and a redeye is really the only way to do that. The flight from the mainland to Hilo leaves late afternoon meaning it will be much easier to connect onto that flight when coming in from afar. I think it is well planned out and I just hope it is successful. Maybe prices will come down after it is up and running and Expedia gets a hold of the new route.....
