Daniel K Inouye International to Phoenix Sky Harbor International HNL → PHX
2,532 nautical miles (2,913 statute miles) northeast on a straight line, true course 063°, about 052° magnetic at the departure end (variation 11E). At 120 knots that is 20 h 56 min at the quickest height in today's winds (9,500 ft, a 1-knot tailwind), arriving about 4:02 pm MST (23:02 UTC). Right now HNL is VFR, wind from the northeast (050°) at 10 knots; PHX is VFR, wind from the west-northwest (300°) at 11 knots, gusting to 19. For planning, not a briefing: the legal preflight briefing comes from Flight Service (1-800-WX-BRIEF) or the FAA's own tools. Airlines fly this pair: 2,620 flights in the DOT's last twelve reported months, the route's page.

Winds aloft along the route, and the time en route the forecast for use 20:00–03:00 UTC · at 120 knots true airspeed
The eastbound cruising heights for this course (VFR: odd thousands plus 500 ft; above 18,000 ft the forecast levels), with the wind averaged along the line from the 3 forecast points nearest it (HNL, OGG, ITO). A plus sign is a headwind, a minus sign a tailwind.

Based on data from the 11th at 18:00 UTC; valid on the 12th at 00:00 UTC for use 20:00 to 03:00 UTC; temperatures above 24,000 ft are below zero. Heights are above sea level; a height is left out when the forecast has no wind for it over most of the line (the ground is higher). Ground speed is the airspeed less the headwind; the time en route is for the straight line and ignores climb, descent and routing around weather.
