Travel with Children - travel from hnl to Midwest with kidsView Full Version : travel from hnl to Midwest with kids wayzfam Mar 10, 12, 10:32 am Does anyone have any advice for best options to travel from HNL to MSP with 3 kids under 10 on a redeye. The options are a flight from hnl on a 757 that stops in LA, but no change of planes or a flight on 767 to SLC with change of plane to MSP. I can see advantages of both. It would be nice not to switch planes if kids are sleeping, but the 767 to SLC is a longer flight with more room. azepine00 Mar 10, 12, 12:57 pm Does anyone have any advice for best options to travel from HNL to MSP with 3 kids under 10 on a redeye.

Eclipsepearl Mar 11, 12, 3:59 am I'm leaning towards the LAX connection, and I am NOT a 757 fan! If you don't have to get off, that's good. No way a delay would mess up your connection! lost*in*cyberspace Mar 18, 12, 10:01 am Go to seatguru and compare the 757 with the 767. This might be enough to make you select the SLC stop.

I've done many redeyes from other islands, and recommend that if you don't have to get off the plane, that would be an excellent option. Dragging the kids around in the airport for a change of planes, if can be avoided, would be an excellent option. Midday flight today, the kids were up the entire flight. It was a challenge to keep them entertained and occupied, so not to cause disruption in the cabin. |
