Bit scary this - my first overseas trip by air on my own! At 47! I’ve always had someone in tow to rely on for finding my way around, or picking up things from hotel rooms when I have left them, and there’s no one but myself to rely on.

It was a quick walk through the corridors of T8 before arriving at passport control. Global Entry kiosks were at the very far end.

No can-do on the eGates front, but no material delay in getting landside. TFW was empty and no real queue for security either with both scanners in action.

This is another one of those mad dashes across the Atlantic, starting in Budapest, to Heathrow, then onto New York and Los Angeles, before a final hop over to Honolulu.

One heck of a long road trip in just short of 2 weeks: 2673 miles, 11 hotel stops, 23 visits to Starbucks but only one visit to The Cheesecake Factory!

After checking in at the Flagship lounge, we were advised that the Qantas First Lounge was now open, so we popped over there to check out the lunch options.

Planning on catching the 7:30am shuttle to the airport, partly because (as appears to be the norm now), we can’t check in online.
