For Thanksgiving, I decided to visit Hong Kong, convincing myself that flying via Honolulu and Guam was a “good idea.” When I tried to go to Manila this way in 2012, I was bumped from one of my westbound segments and rerouted via Narita in first class. I didn’t have the same string of luck this time around.
As a 1K on an international itinerary, I stopped by the Honolulu United Club to occupy myself for my two hour layover. While it’s like any other United lounge, it certainly offers a bit nicer scenery.
