Continental is making this service expansion in what is still a bleak market, but it might be a good positioning move for when things pick up. The flights from Orange County should be popular, and I believe that is an old Aloha route left void by their liquidation. The 737 is the right size for the job and it IS efficient, but not too comfy for a five hour flight. Continental's 767s on their Honolulu flights to Houston, Guam, and Newark are considered among the very best in the Hawaii market with free meal service and personal TV at every seat, even in coach.
