By staying as close to land as required to ensure safety. until fairly recently, flights to Hawaii were largely served by 3- or 4-engine jets. It's only in the last several decades that ETOPS regulations have shifted enough to allow regular twin-engine service to Honolulu.

The regulations have been shifted but only time will tell if it should be shifted. I guess we'll find out in 20 years.
