The Hilton Hawaiian Village Resort in Honolulu

Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014: Day 4 – Honolulu HNL to Los Angeles LAX

I woke at 3:30am - much earlier than I hoped. The melatonin not working that well this time around. Got up to date with FT, and checked in on line for my next flights without any problems via aa.com.

I woke earlier than I had planned to - 3:30am - so I had over 4 hours kip, and as long as I don’t get any more screaming babies, I might be able to catch up on a few Zs on the flight to HNL.

Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014: Day 2 – New York EWR to Los Angeles LAX

So I now had the challenge of getting across New York from JFK to EWR. If you look at a map, the two airports are (roughly) equidistant from Manhattan and (roughly) on the same level.

Once we got the call to reboard, we were back on the plane within a minute, and it was only another 5 or 10 mins before we were taking off for JFK. I didn’t notice the time, but it felt like we were about on time.

The hotel bed was very comfortable – I woke at 5:30 – a touch later than my normal time of waking – although I had two beers the previous night, and that’s a lot for me on a school night.

Tier Point Run to Hawaii/San Juan in Feb 2014: Day 1 – Brussels BRU to London Heathrow LHR

I spent about an hour in the lounge at Brussels Airport - it’s an ok lounge but there’s nothing much going on - the views aren’t that great and the food/drink isn’t that good either.

I found my way to the Galleries First Lounge at T5. I had enjoyed my first Starbucks of the trip. Jim is my Starbucks name!
