I couldn't turn down the offer of a cheap ex-Dublin Tier Point run to Hawaii for the weekend.

The day got off to a good start: slept to a reasonable time and Mango wasn't too naughty so there wasn't too much needed in avoiding her waking the sleeping Vickster up.

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.

I was first off the aircraft and power-walked through Arrivals. The place was as good as empty. It's a lovely terminal.

My flight home was due to depart from Gate C126. United Airlines (UA) advertise they start boarding 50 mins before departure time, so I headed down there early.

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.

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.

I set the alarm for 6am expecting to wake up well before that. It's my norm. Amazingly, I was rudely awoken by my alarm going off, having slept really well.
