First trip back home after 2.5 years. Flight crew was amazing! Our 2.5 year old son was their favorite passenger and they kept coming around to make sure he was doing well.
Thankfully, our flight was on time and Runway 08L had opened the day before which seemed to help with some of the delays in Honolulu.
As we were taxiing to the terminal, our son was amazed with all the "Pualanis" parked on the ramp and he announced our arrival at the gate by saying "We're here!"

God I love those Rolls Royce Trent engines!

17:48 That's one hell of a screenshot right there, the cloud layer along with a mountain in the back.

I hope I will fly Hawaiian Airlines one day even though it will be under Alaska Airlines.

Thank you for sharing your trip. Those long-haul flights are hard sometimes. Were you able to sit in First Class or Premium Economy while using your airline membership points? And were you able to spend some time in the Hawaii Airline lounge or shared lounge before and after you flight?

We bought first class seats. It makes the trip much more enjoyable. We didn't use the Premier Club before this flight because we flew from Lihue and connected to our Seattle flight and only had about an hour in between flights. We did stop in for a snack and drink before our flight to Lihue since we got to the airport early and had time to kill.

@@SIHAviation That was good you stop for a snack in Lihue.. It has been a few years before the pandemic that I went to Lihue, Hawaii. I loved it there walking along the beaches. Wow! Some great memories that I have of my trip.
