· Continental gets lei'd even more in Hawaii
How are the skies above Hawaii not mega-crowded with new flights coming in from all over? Continental will contribute to the ferrying of more passengers to the islands when it begins flights between Los Angeles and Orange County airports to Maui, and another between Orange Country and Honolulu. 'Tis the season for an island vacation, we suppose. The flights begin fairly soon as well, this Sunday actually.

· Ariana Afghan Airlines launches the weirdest route we've heard of, but it probably makes perfect sense to them.
It's already running, and we wonder how many passengers each flights is carrying these days, but the flag-carrying airline of Afghanistan—Ariana Afghan Airlines—is going direct between Kabul and Al Ain, in the United Arab Emirates. We've heard of direct flights to Dubai or Abu Dhabi, but Al Ain? Well, the Afghan airline understandably wants to serve this city because of its large Afghan expat population, so you probably won't see tourists on it anytime soon.
