Story: Tier Point Run to Hawaii in Feb 2024

Another exciting trip to Hawaii that I booked months ago to take advantage of a 180+ day low-cost fare basis. Out of all of the Hawaiian islands, I always choose O'Ahu if I am travelling on my own. There's so much to see and do in Waikiki and I don't need to book a hire car to get around.

My first trip to Hawaii in more than 12 months - I'm getting withdrawal symptoms! This trip starts in Amsterdam and follows the well-trodden path of flying over to Hawaii via London Heathrow, New York JFK and Los Angeles LAX. I start with an initial positioning flight from Heathrow to Amsterdam.

I arrived at Gate 18 in time to board alongside the last passengers. Of course, I got a red "no no" when scanning my face at the gate; BA needed to check my passport before I could get on.

The AA Lounge at the low-B gates was packed again. I'm sure it was never this busy when I frequented Phoenix years ago. Perhaps there are more passengers with status? Perhaps I have been unlucky with timing?

I almost always end up staying at a hotel like this on a trip out to the west coast. That's one where I arrive really late, and I am due to fly out again really early the following day.

I decided to go Flight Connections route for a change. It seemed to cause a stir as the staff didn't really know what they were looking for on my boarding pass and were getting confused between domestic connections and international connections.

It's all been relatively straightforward for this trip. I originally booked this trip back in June, on the basis that I was almost guaranteed to see an AA flight change sufficient to allow me to better manage my time on this trip.
