Wait! Is that Map Right?

 
What's wrong with this screen capture of a graphic shown on my recent return flight from Las Vegas to Honolulu on Hawaiian Airlines?

Go ahead. Look and contemplate. I'll wait.

Give up? Las Vegas is NOT east of Honolulu. When you fly from Las Vegas to Honolulu, you fly west, from right to left, at least on the traditional "north is top and south is bottom" maps we're all used to.

Not these guys. They showed us flying the wrong way. Somebody situated Las Vegas where Hawaii should be, and vice-versa.

I didn't say anything. I might have been banished outside. And look how cold it was out there.
