As in previous trips, I didn't sleep very well at the LAX Hilton. It's UK day time and I have had some sleep on my previous flight.

Approaching the T8 premium check-in area, I noticed the First Class check-in area to the right hand side, so I decided I would give it a try.

It was pretty quiet in the CCR. Although I had debated about having breakfast in the CCR, my initial focus was on caffeine, so I hot-footed it down to Starbucks and joined a very long queue

This is another one of the trips to Hawaii that I booked many months ago and subsequently benefited from American Airlines rescheduling flights.

This is the third in a trilogy of trips to Honolulu in the space of a little over 2 months. This is another trip starting in Budapest and follows the well-trodden path of flying over to Hawaii via London Heathrow, New York JFK and Los Angeles LAX

Another enjoyable, if slightly frustrating, trip earning Tier Points, which included my first ever overnight delay caused by a flight cancellation.

It was a great feeling to walk from the AA inbound flight straight into a nice suite of lounges, where I could wait for my BA flight back to Heathrow.

The AA Flagship Lounge attendants recognised me. It's really nice when you get some personal interaction with the lounge team.
