A word of warning re booking direct flights on a Max 8. Typically when you buy a direct fight to HNL you pay a premium to fly the direct route, which was the Max 8 fight from YYC.
If WJ juggles the schedule and you end up re-routing through YVR, you will not get a refund for the difference between the direct flight and the one that connected through YVR. I confirmed this with the WJ service center.
I'm hoping WJA formally removes the Max8 from it's spring schedule soon so we can get some certainty for booking. Anyone have a sense as to when this might be? The did this in September for the December schedule.
For OGG flights - note that AC's YVR flight is a 762 operated by OmniAir.
