Each year, we take a family trip to one of the Hawaiian islands with the hope that one day we will have a house there. 2020 was a bit different as we all know. The state of Hawaii and her islands were one of the last to open back up to tourists and we took every precaution to be able to get to visit her beauty this fall. Here’s how we safely traveled to Hawaii with our children amid COVID-19.
How to safely travel to Hawaii amid COVID-19
Hawaii pre – flight testing
The first thing we did when setting out to take this trip was to plan the days, and which island. This may not seem important or much different than any other trip, however it is in current times. Some of the islands require additional quarantine or won’t rent for less than x amount of days.
Another consideration is to be flexible in your travel dates as not all flight paths have been fully restored yet. You may want to take a 10 day trip but may need to cut to 9 or extend to 11 to get a flight home.
Once you decide where and when, the need for pre-flight testing comes into play. If you don’t mind quarantining for the first 14 days you arrive and not leaving your place you are staying for anything, no testing is needed.
Our travels were only for 9 days, so we opted to get a COVID-19 test from Vault Health. It was an approved provider that mailed a saliva test to our home with the cost being $150. You can file with your insurance company for reimbursement if you’d like. There are several other providers listed on the site, but this was specifically recommended and used by Hawaiian Airlines, which we always fly.
The test is required 72 hours before the final leg of your trip into Hawaii, and must be done on a Zoom call in front of personnel from Vault Health. You call in and wait for a practitioner and then take the test. Because it’s a spit test, you can’t eat or drink or smoke or chew anything 30 minutes before the test.
Testing Process
It’s a very simple process, the hardest part being creating enough spit to fill the tube. The average time it took the 6 of us traveling to take it was about 10 minutes. Leila, our 9 year old, took about 30 minutes because she wasn’t sure how to spit I think.
Once your test is completed and sealed, you simply drop off and wait for the results. Everything is logged and tracked, and Vault Health emails you with status updates.
Most everywhere you go, the QR code as well as the Negative test results are required for entry, so getting the result before leaving or landing on the islands is pretty important.
Some airports have testing right at the airport for Hawaiian Airlines passengers while the home test is the only option for others. The two options that had testing when we went were LAX and San Francisco. If you are flying from the east and have a layover in one of these airports, this might be the best option for you since the test is required to be taken within 72 hours of the final leg of your trip.
In order to be able to do anything when landing and not quarantine, the self testing in front of a practitioner was the only option for us. We were very careful before testing as well as before traveling to limit exposure and to hopefully pass our test.
We sent our test out on Sunday a few hours after completing the test, and it didn’t leave the UPS store until Monday evening. Tuesday afternoon, we received an email saying our sample had arrived at the facility. Overnight, our test results arrived via email, and we were able to upload them into the required Hawaii.travel.gov site so we could pass through screening much quicker.
If you plan to travel to the islands, doing the self testing before leaving is the easiest and quickest if you want to do anything when you land. The state requires online forms to be filled out within 24 hours of departure, and this is where the QR Code and COVID-19 test results are uploaded to keep everything together. The QR Code is required or Contact Tracing is recorded when you visit restaurants or places of leisure.
The islands are opening back up and her people want you to come visit safely. We are still in a pandemic, and be sure to bring your mask and wear everywhere unless actively eating or drinking. Personally, we knew what we were getting into, and it Hawaii has been closed for 7 months, so they are being very cautious, probably like we all should.
It’s time to visit the islands if you want, but there’s some things I’ve outlined above you need to keep in mind and line. If you don’t have everything done you could be denied entry or cause a longer wait when you arrive. Also – if you don’t comply or abide by their masking guidelines, you can be kicked out of the place, and the airlines can ban you from flying with them again.
It can get hot in Arizona, especially during the summer season. However, if the fall season, the temperatures start to cool down and you can finally go outside an enjoy some outdoor activities. We look forward to fall all year long, especially when the scorching temps continue for over 100 days straight!
With temperatures typically being in the 70’s during the fall in Arizona, that brings a variety of different fun things to do in Arizona in the fall. When you are wanting to enjoy a bit of the great outdoors while the weather is nice, here are a few things to experience in the fall.
Things to Do in Arizona in The Fall
1. Enjoy the Fall Flavors
Fall brings in some of our favorite flavors when it comes to drinks and food. Many of the area restaurants and shops bring in the seasonal foods from local supplies and will include them into their dishes.
Take a challenge and try at least one new dish that incorporates some of the best fall fruits or vegetables. This may be a whole new experience for you with the flavors and textures. You might just find a new favorite fall flavor or restaurant that you love.
2. Attend a Fall Festival
No matter where you are, there are always some fun fall festivals to attend when the season comes around. Many areas of the state, big and small, put on fun family friendly festivals that everyone can attend and have a little fun at.
3. Be a Tourist Again
Rediscover Arizona just like a tourist would. You can plan a trip around the state to visit the national parks, scenic byways, and major tourist attractions. There are always a variety of different museums, art collections, and other attractions that are sure to pique your interest.
If you want to stay a bit closer to a certain area, instead of traveling around the state, plan a trip around your favorite or closest larger city to enjoy everything it has to offer.
4. Outdoor Experiences and Sightseeing
Much like being a tourist again and visiting some of your favorite museums and other indoor activities, take an adventure outside to discover the beauty around you.
Arizona is full of picturesque landscapes, like those beautiful views you see on the postcards. Full of forests that have thousands of beautiful tall trees, it is the perfect time to take a hike or visit one of the national forests in Arizona. You can also take a camping trip to enjoy the outdoors for a close-up sightseeing experience that you are sure to remember.
Another way to experience some of the outdoor beauties is to take a hot air balloon ride that are done in several locations throughout Arizona. Not only will the ride be an exciting activity, you will also get to see the beauty of Arizona and the mountains from way up high.
These are just a few of the many things you can do in Arizona in the fall. The list is endless and there is nothing better than experiencing the nice weather and beauty Arizona has to offer. Whether you are traveling with a small group or friends and family, Arizona is a great place to see during the fall.
Many people associate Las Vegas with casinos, parties, and a thriving nightlife. The city is a tourist hotspot and if you know where to look, wonderful attractions and fun are awaiting your family here. As someone who has taken their kids to Vegas several times to visit family, I can tell you first hand Vegas is a great spot to take kids. In this article, we have explored some of the best attractions in Las Vegas that are kid-friendly. Here are 7 must-see attractions in Las Vegas with kids!
7 must-see Attractions in Las Vegas with Kids
1. DISCOVERY Children’s Museum
Just north of the Las Vegas Strip, you will find this museum that promises delightful indulgences to your kids and delivers exactly that. There are a lot of activities your kids can engage in here, including amazing art and craft projects, climbing structures, the DISCOVERY lab, and water sports. Most of the fun activities here are educational as well.
2. Watch the Blue Man Group show
The blue man group show is perhaps the most talented in the world. They have been hosting shows in Las Vegas for a long time and each time they come up with unique ideas that leave their audience in awe. Their acts include color, light, and sound using a variety of musical instruments such as drums, trombones, and others. The 3 man group is world-renowned for their bizarre but brilliant acts.
3. Visit Marvel’s Avenger STATION
Your kids will enjoy watching full-sized creations of their favorite superheroes. There are interactive exhibits on display and a lot of memorabilia on these superheroes. They get to learn the behind-the-scenes of what it takes to create an Avengers movie. They are
also allowed to touch, photograph, or even wear some of these costumes they have seen in these movies.
4. Go Skydiving indoors
The thought of skydiving from a plane scares most people. However, if you still want to experience the thrill in a controlled and safe environment, you can head to the Las Vegas strip at the Vegas Indoor Skydiving location. A 1,000 horsepower motor will keep you floating in the air and free-falling at speeds up to 120 miles per hour. There are safety nets and protective clothing to keep you safe throughout the whole session. You can book tickets online for this experience.
5. Visit the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay
This is probably the world’s largest exhibition of marine life. There are over 2,000 different marine animals on display here. The name comes from the large collection of over 14 species of sharks and other sea predators. You get to walk through a tunnel and experience this spectator in every angle possible. Your kids are allowed to touch different types of marine life (crabs, stingrays among others) at a different section of the bay.
6. Visit the Ethel Chocolate factory
Kids love chocolate and a trip to this factory will be a fulfilling one. This factory is located about 20 minutes from the Las Vegas strip. Your kids will get a chance to learn how chocolate is made. And take guided tours around while enjoying free samples.
7. The Adventuredome at Circus Circus
This is an amusement park that is the dream of every kid. They get the chance to take rides, go rock climbing indoors, bungee jumping, roller skating, arcade gaming, bowling, and many other activities. Most of these games are located indoors meaning that your kids get the chance to enjoy themselves with little regard to the weather or season.
Before moving to Arizona, I never considered visiting Las Vegas even though I have family there. Now that we live here, it’s a super easy and quick trip up north, which we try to take at least once a year. If you are struggling with what to do with your kids and how to travel with them, check out my post on that here. If you are thinking of taking a roadtrip to get to Las Vegas, I have a post on how to keep the kiddos entertained while traveling. You can find that post here.
When traveling, you can’t take your house with you, so how do you deal with children’s games? How do you keep your kids from asking “Are we there yet?” a thousand times or needing to stop for a break every 5 minutes? How do you keep them entertained in a world where internet connection rules? The times we are living in has more and more people thinking of taking longer trips, not a quick one that entertains them for longer. As a result of this new normal, we are getting new requests for travel games to keep kids busy on long train or car or plane trips. I searched and searched to pick some of the best games available. This is a quick summary for all ages and some games are easier to handle when things do not move too much or on a small tablet.
This superior quality chess set offers you smooth hand-feel while frivolous. Smooth processing for each chess piece to lower the noise while traveling. Offers silent environment for your analytical thinking.The pieces are stress-free to differentiate. The Chess set has an attractive wrapping with rules of the chess game available inside the box. Every distinct piece of the chessboard has a magnetic pull to the playing field of the 64-square chessboard, and light magnetic attraction would create it steady to play while not solid to transfer the pieces at the time of playing in stormy weather, out-of-doors or traveling. Small enough for travel in a backpack or bag, but large enough surface area for easy play.
Appreciate the typical game of bingo, animal style, anywhere you go. Easy to play with simple to follow the rules. No requirement for decks of cards only utilizes the magnetic pieces and a built-in magnetic spinner. This game is recommended for ages 3 and above. This game is played between two or more players. It is an excellent hands-on game for children to stay busy for long hours without utilizing technology or their phones. A classic game that everyone is sure to know and want to play instead of driving or being left out for long!
In this board game for kids, it’s a contest to acquire all of the animals on Noah’s boat beforehand the
excessive flood. Collect every animal together to conquest. Appropriate for two to four players, and
appropriate for kids age 4 and up. The box comprises one game panel, five animal tokens, thirty-six
terrain cards, one rain token, and thirteen rain cards. This makes a great gift for Christmas or other holidays including a birthday present.
This forty piece game set consists of thirty-two magnetic tiles and eight style mags. The original
technology creates Stile Mags, simple accumulation of magnetic buildings as well as mosaics. Talk about a game that is friendly for all ages and imaginations! This one is sure to keep them (and maybe you) busy for hours on end creating magnetic magic!
Appreciate the all-time typical game of Backgammon anywhere you go. No requirement for decks of
cards, sports, or additional action games. This game has you enclosed with long hours of
entertainment. This game is played between two players. It comes with all that you require to get on
the go, such as magnetic pieces, two dice, and the game board published ingeniously within the box.
Appreciate the typical game of Words anywhere you go—no requirement for technology, phones, or
applications. Pick your head to come up with a word prepared from letters on your board. This game
can be played between 4 players.
Board games and the like are at an all time high, especially those that are friendly on the go. Families are spending more time together and games that can be easily taken on a ride and don’t get upset when moving will continue to be at the forefront of shopping purchases this year and next. What is your favorite game to take with you which is missing from the list?
I know that when we are ready to travel outside our comfort zone again, I want to go somewhere affordable, but not break the bank getting there. Our girls are getting older and about the age where we can take them on longer trips they will remember. I want them to be able to explore like I wasn’t able to at their age. I long to give them culture and experiences at a younger age so they don’t go travel crazy like me when they are older. We are impatiently awaiting these rankings of the cheap, most trendy destinations or, conversely, the less known.
Here are the top 10 affordable places perfect for big adventures and visit in 2020.
10 Affordable Places to Visit in 2020
1) Ecuador
If South America is in your sights, you should consider Ecuador. A country of contrasts with its legendary volcanoes, its colorful colonial towns, and its seaside life punctuated by the Pacific Ocean, there is plenty to have fun! Very small between Peru and Colombia, Ecuador can be explored easily, quickly, and inexpensively. According to Lonely Planet, almost everything is within half a day of transportation. As much as Ecuador is a cheap destination, so are its famous Galapagos Islands.
2) Slovenia
The ultimate base camp for lovers of the outdoors, Slovenia, has carved out a place of choice in this list. Affordable, the “green heart of Europe”; reveals itself in several facets: a seaside town with Venetian beauties, Alpine passes in the sky, a forest of stalagmites, castles like fairy tales.
3) Argentina
Historically, Argentina is recognized as an economic destination. And she does not skimp on efforts to remain so! For example, foreign visitors who pay for their accommodation by international bank card are entitled to a refund of taxes or, even certain nationalities benefit from visas at reduced prices, underlines Lonely Planet. Hikers will find their challenge at the Perito Moreno Glacier and certainly at Aconcagua, while Buenos Aires is a real eye-catcher for art and culture lovers.
4) Southern Nile Valley, Egypt
When we talk about the south of the Nile Valley, we discuss the region between Aswan and Luxor. An essential stopover during a trip to Egypt, Luxor, is often the starting point for a cruise on the Nile, which is, according to Lonely Planet, an excellent way to travel economically. Often, food and other transportation are included, and the entrance fee to larger monuments is not very expensive. The longest river in the world is yours, desert adventures, temples, and ancient treasures.
5) The Maldives
Hard to believe, but the Maldives is becoming more and more affordable. Independent tourists are increasing, and that at the same time, a network of cheap accommodation is developing.
This is a BIG goal on my travel list because the beautiful pictures and stories I’ve heard of these islands. It’s quite a long airplane ride, but I believe Steve and I will visit here soon.
6) Albania
Albania is a very cheap destination that lurks right in front of our eyes! Even today, few tourists visit the last frontier of Europe. Bordered to the north by Montenegro and to the south by Greece, Albania offers hikes in glorious landscapes, tasty gastronomy, small historic villages, and unique archaeological sites.
7) Great Smoky Mountains National Park, United States
With more than 10 million visitors annually, Great Smoky Mountain National Park, straddling Tennessee and North Carolina, is far from a well-kept secret. Quite the opposite, it is the most visited national park in the United States. Entrance to the park is free, so it is an excellent option for an economical road trip or hiking trip. Especially since the Great Smoky Mountains are crossed by one of the longest and most famous North American trails: the Appalachian Trail.
8) Łódź, Poland
Łódź, Poland’s third-largest city, is a must-see destination. This former industrial city, once in decline, has transformed in recent years to unveil innovative architectural projects, street arts, and districts entirely dedicated to culture and entertainment.
9) Houston, United States
Houston offers one of the best value for money in Texas. Among other things, the Houston Museum District’s urban escapades allow you to visit the metropolis on foot through 19 museums, ten of which are free, and the EaDo district presents us with an outdoor street art gallery to visit in self-guided mode.
10) Naxos in Greece
An island known by the Greeks takes a scooter tour to enjoy the landscape and have a good time. It is one of the most beautiful of the Greek Islands and a short ferry ride away from the super famous Paros and Mykonos Islands, but stays under the radar for popularity. If you visit here, chances are you will get all the beautiful views you long for when on a Greek vacation.
Every time we fly to Hawaii as a family, I INSIST we fly with Hawaiian Airlines because they do hospitality right. From the very beginning of the boarding process, you are greeted, no matter which seat you occupy, with the traditional Hawaiian dancing and singing. For me, it creates this experience of relaxation and gives the true definition of “island time” before even leaving the ground.
This was my 3rd visit to the islands – one previous flight that wasn’t with Hawaiian Airlines – and the experience (at least the flight) was one I don’t remember.
But the first time we flew with Leila to the islands in 2014, I can tell you exactly where we sat on the plane and how the experience was so incredible even sitting in a coach class seat. Here are a couple of photos from that trip.
Before we go too much further, I should state that these opinions and review are my personal experience and were not approved or endorsed by Hawaiian Airlines. So what I’m telling you is this was a genuine experience and we paid for our flights and seats just like everyone else on the plane. This review is approved by me otherwise I would tell you differently.
So this time, Steve and I decided to treat ourselves and check out what those lay flat seats and pods are all about. And, it was just the two of us this trip, and a 6 hour flight is any excuse to give yourself extra comfort, right?!
And let me tell you, they don’t skimp on the experience in First Class either!
The first class cabin is set up in a 2-2-2 configuration, so if you are traveling in parties of 2 it works best. There are a total of 18 seats in the first class cabin.
I always struggle with putting my things in the overhead bin, and I think the ones up there are even higher, so I had Steve help me. I usually just put my carry on under the seat, but the pods have a foot rest and a tiny little place to put your bag. There are several pockets, trays, compartments and such to make up (in my opinion) for the loss of the under the seat storage.
The second we sat down, the flight attendants came around to give us a drink.
Now, if you’ve never flown First Class (this was only my 2nd time ever) you may be a bit caught off guard that you don’t have to wait to get a drink until reaching 30,000 feet. But most airlines offer a drink complementary to First Class guests prior to the flight even taking off as a way to say thank you for purchasing those seats … I guess … and to make you comfortable while the Main Cabin boards the plane.
We had 3 options of drinks – Passionfruit Mango Guava Juice, Mai Tai (which in my opinion there’s none better than the Hawaiian’s make!), or Champagne. The drink package was part of their amenity kit that doesn’t stop at the first offering.
Steve and I both chose the Juice as we don’t really drink anymore.
As all of the First Class guests had been served, the Flight Attendants returned with a menu for the 3 course meal we would be served during the flight.
I took the opportunity to snap a few shots and try out my new 360 degree camera to try to figure it out. – not an easy task …
Right before we got ready to take off, the Flight Attendants took our breakfast orders and picked up our drinks for take off.
Oh! I forgot to mention that all the glassware, no matter which airline you fly, for first class is always glass. Like real glasses on a plane y’all! I was shocked and felt instantly special when I first saw this, so that’s another reason to fly first class if you can. And also Hawaiian has their logos etched into their glassware, super cool and branded.
And trying to take a picture of etched glass with liquid in it and empty are equally as hard, so you will have to use your imagination for this one, or go try it out yourself to see IRL 🙂
Once we got in the air and it was a bit safer for the Flight Attendants to move around, they first brought us a beverage of our choice (again, if you wanted any of the open bar selections as shown in a photo of the back of the menu above, you could get it for the whole flight… for free) and I chose green tea with a bit of coconut milk for the creamer. I don’t know why, but it sounded (and tasted) amazing.
Along with the beverage, we were given Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts that were lightly salted, on real plates. Like heavy, good plates. Another reason to fly first class. And the tray table comes up much easier out of the arm rest and has a separate bar for the tv screen.
Unlike many airlines who offer free or purchasable wifi, Hawaiian Airlines does not offer this service. What they offer is complementary entertainment via these monstrous iPads that are at minimum 15 inches. (Steve thinks they are like 32 inches but I don’t so much agree.. And in the main cabin, these can be purchased for the duration of the flight.
There are no movies shown on the flight, just the movies, tv shows, and music available on the iPad.
After finishing our Macadamia Nuts, the main course was brought out.
A real tray, napkin, individual salt and pepper shakers, real silverware, and again, nice plates presented a croissant, bowl of fruit, a few pieces of sausage, and the egg bake with salsa on it. On the side had butter and a container of jam should you like it.
During the entire flight, the Flight Attendants were asking if you needed any refills on your drinks or if you would like water. I don’t think there was a time that I needed something that they didn’t already have coming to me. It was very nice and made the experience even more enjoyable.
I chose to not eat the sausage as I don’t eat that type of meat but everything else was delicious! Steve enjoyed his as well even though he’s not much of a breakfast eater, he ate it all.
Once we were finished, they brought out my favorite part of the meal. Dessert.
I know what you’re thinking, dessert with breakfast?!
It was so good though! And I think I may start making it part of my daily routine to have dessert with breakfast..
I’m mostly kidding, mostly. Mostly because I need to find someone who could make me this delicious thing, or something very similar that I could have ever morning.
And that blanket y’all. The plane is cold! Like most of them, so this was a total lifesaver for the whole flight. I believe a blanket and pillow are pretty standard on long or overnight flights, but don’t quote me on that. When we flew overnight and 8 hours to Tahiti we had a blanket and a pillow too.
Near the very end of our flight, they brought around these amazing Sweet Onion chips for us along with some water if we wanted it.
And let me tell y’all about these chips. They are legit the best onion chips I’ve ever tasted! I had them for the first time when we flew to Hawaii with Hawaiian Airlines in 2014 and I couldn’t get enough. As a kid, I used to eat the cheapest of the cheap Sour Cream and Onion Potato chips and then upgraded to the Lay’s/Ruffles Sour Cream and Onion and thought those were like gold. Well, those are NO comparison to these sweet and salty deliciousness. They are super crunchy, almost like a kettle chip but better.
Now, I’m not gonna lie, I believe the plane, and my breath probably smelled the same from all the onion consumption, but I didn’t care, and Steve liked them, so he didn’t either 🙂
If you find these in a store, (I’ve seen them at Costco before) do yourself a favor and get them! I believe the make a variety pack, but this is my favorite flavor. They are sold all over the islands and one day, we are going to go tour the plant and soak up the sweet onion goodness!
PS – these aren’t gluten free, so I had to ration myself this time so my body didn’t have a reaction, but it was so worth it!
About 20 minutes before landing at the Honolulu Airport, the Flight Attendants came around and picked up the iPads and our final drinks and trash.
Once we landed and pulled up to the gate, an announcement was made to let the first class passengers deplane first, so that was comforting knowing that we still got to get off right away as we had a connecting flight to the Big Island and I was ready to stretch my legs and see if we could call the kiddos since we left our house at 3:30 am and they were still snoozing in their beds.
After catching the shuttle bus outside, we made our way to our next flight, called the girls, and just enjoyed being in Hawaii before our short 45 minute flight that was also with Hawaiian Airlines.
It was a much smaller plane, and we sat near the back of the plane which wasn’t a big deal since it was so short. Most of these flights don’t offer a premium cabin. It’s simply a plane to get from point A to point B. Many of the inter island flights only serve a small juice container of the Passion Orange Guava juice and not really snacks as the flight is so quick. They do play Hawaiian music on these flights, which continues to get you in the Hawaiian mood.
Because we booked a round trip flight with Hawaiian Airlines, the return flight was also a first class experience.
Sometimes, if you didn’t book a round trip First Class experience, you can upgrade if available for either leg of your trip. When we travel, we sometimes will try to upgrade for the return leg of the trip so we can relax and extend our vacation so to speak before we hit the ground running again.
This time, we were First Class the entire way.
I took a few shots of the Kona Airport and from my window seat of the islands from above.
Our flight back was very much the same as the flight there, except we sat in the very front right of the plane, making it easier for bathroom breaks.
I watched the new Will Smith movie, Collateral Beauty, and let me tell you, I bawled my eyes out. Probably not the best movie to watch on an airplane, but DANG it’s so good.
It was one of those that I knew my hubby wouldn’t want to see in theatres even though we love Will Smith – it’s very much a sad but great story. And the other actors/actresses are incredible too!
Again, there were 4 courses for the meal served, and you had an option of what you wanted.
We opted for the Passion Guava juice while the Main Cabin was boarding.
We then received the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nuts with a drink of our choice (I chose green tea again sans milk as they didn’t have any alternative milks this time.)
Then the first course was a choice of Grilled Mediterranean Chicken, Quinoa Tabbouleh and Tzatziki Salad or Nicoise Salad with Ogo Calamansi Vinaigrette and I chose the Grilled Chicken choice.
Next the main course was a choice of Soy Braised Beef Short Ribs with Bok Choy and Wasabi Mashed Potatoes or Okinawan Sweet Potato, Kabocha, Mushroom, Quinoa and Provolone Cheese Burger.
Steve chose the Beef Short Ribs and I totally LOVED the Cheese Burger that was filled with veggies and yummy goodness!
For dessert we each had a Chilled Mini Orange Cream Pie made by the Hawaiian Pie Company and it was just as delicious as it looks!
Along the way, they kept our drinks filled and offered water if we wanted.
Because it was a night flight, it was a bit easier for me to lay down and sleep for a bit on this flight unlike the flight to the islands. These lay flat seats inside each pod make it so much better than trying to recline back in the Main Cabin seats on any other flight.
And after watching that tear jerker movie, my eyes were a bit more interested in sleeping than reading a book or working.
Sometimes you gotta just roll with it and take a nap when you need it.
So there you have it! Our entire First Class experience through our lens without actually having to shell out the $$ to try it yourself and going through the airport/security/boarding/etc.
For a domestic flight that’s over 4 hours, we honestly believe First Class is the only way to go. If we flew into or out of Los Angeles airport, we’d probably need to do so for our sanity! And the lounge access would be needed as well!
Based on our experience, do you think you’d consider a First Class flight with Hawaiian Airlines if you went to the islands?
took the 6 of us traveling to take it was about 10 minutes. Leila, our 9 year old, took about 30 minutes because she wasn’t sure how to spit I think.
The islands are opening back up and her people want you to come visit safely. We are still in a pandemic, and be sure to bring your mask and wear everywhere unless actively eating or drinking. Personally, we knew what we were getting into, and it Hawaii has been closed for 7 months, so they are being very cautious, probably like we all should.
