America’s newest wicked-long flight is the Boston-to-Honolulu route from Hawaiian Airlines, which is now the longest flight in the country at 5,095 miles. And it’s not a fluke—the new Hawaiian flight is the longest nonstop route in the United States ever. The journey takes a whopping 11 hours 40 minutes when flying to the islands, but it will only take 10 hours and 15 minutes to get back to reality.
In a release, Hawaiian Airlines said service will begin April 4, 2019, and notes this is “before Patriots’ Day on April 15, and timed to offer winter-weary New Englanders a vacation of wonder and fun where they can experience all the best that Hawaii has to offer.”

For non-New Englanders, Patriots’ Day is a big Monday holiday in Boston. It’s the day of the Boston Marathon, the Red Sox play an 11:00 a.m. game at Fenway, and for most public schools it’s the first day of spring break. Unfortunately, the weekend before that week (April 12 to 14) and the weekend after (April 19 to 21) are blacked out from Hawaiian Airlines’ introductory fare of $617 each way, so that wonder and fun are going to cost you. But fair play to Hawaiian for matching its introductory fares to Boston’s 617 area code.
The Longest, and Only, Hawaii Nonstop from Boston
More importantly, this will be Boston’s only nonstop flight to Hawaii. Hawaiian notes in its release that Boston is the largest domestic market without nonstop service, despite the fact that “nearly 500 people fly between eastern New England and the islands on any given day.”
More broadly, this is the second noteworthy expansion of service to Hawaii, following Southwest‘s decision to finally serve the islands from the West Coast. With Hawaiian’s announcement, it’s refreshing to see the East Coast getting some attention, too.

There’s a reason “how to become a travel agent” has been a continuously trending search phrase on Google—it is a career path that offers a flexible work environment and schedule, ample travel opportunities, and an immersion into a supportive world-wide industry. It's a surprise to some in 2023: Once the internet became widely available, it was largely believed that needing a travel agent was obsolete. However, even though the brick-and-mortar agencies with punny names in strip malls have vanished, the career is on-the-rise.

These days, Babba Rivera is practically synonymous with her haircare line Ceremonia. The brand's Instagram feed is filled with shots of her lush brown hair, drenched in guava-scented products; signature pops of hibiscus pink, lime, and tangerine, are both splashed across bottles of deep-conditioners and her envy-inducing wardrobe. In that way, the line between work and personal life is always blurry—something she was reminded of when she recently spent a month working from Mexico City.

If you closely followed the debate leading up to the American-US Airways merger, you’ll recall a period during which it seemed a safe bet that the Department of Justice would nix the tie-up on antitrust grounds. DOJ officials signaled that, after signing off on mergers between United and Continental, Delta and Northwest, and Southwest and AirTran, further consolidation was likely to impede competition and give the airlines outsize pricing power. And it was their duty to forestall just such an outcome.
