Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Aug 2015

What can a guy do? Another trip to Hawaii. These trips were so cheap and so many TPs could be earned.

We deplaned from door 1L and it wasn't too long before I was walking into the huge baggage reclaim area and access to immigration.

Photos from Day 16, when I spent the morning in Jakarta, flew to Hong Kong and dealt with a long queue at check-in at the Regala Skycity hotel.

The ride back to the airport was very comfortable. It may have cost me double what I’d hoped to pay — thanks to having to book a Grab Premium — but given that it still only came to around £5, I wasn’t going to complain too loudly.

I slept fairly well — at least by my standards. I switched the light off at around 9:30pm and didn’t wake until about 2:30am. That might not sound like much to some people, but on a trip like this, it was plenty for me.

Having only climbed into bed at around 5am, it was entirely reasonable that today turned into a very gentle one. As a result, I didn’t actually do very much of any real consequence — and that was absolutely fine.

RTW TP Run in Jan 2026: Day 14 – Photos from Day 14

Photos from Day 14, when I spent an 11 hour layover at Tokyo Narita Airport, enjoyed a flight to Jakarta, fought my way through a rain soaked Jakarta to my hotel and watched Liverpool beat Newcastle 4-1.

I arrived at Gate 93 while things were still calm and orderly. I spoke to the gate staff and had my document checks completed early, including showing my D1 visa. That at least saved some hassle when it came time to board.

RTW TP Run in Jan 2026: Day 12 – Photos from Day 12

Photos from Day 12, when I enjoyed an early start to the day in Denpasar, I took a Cathay Pacific flight back to Hong Kong and I had an easy ride on the way to the Skycity hotel.

Cathay Pacific only operated a single daily flight from Denpasar, which was the return leg of the Hong Kong service I’d taken a couple of days earlier.
