viloist,
My first flight to
HNL was in 1993 on an old
DC-10 in first. Yep. Mai Tai's followed by a lei greeting upon arrival.
We're off to
LIH on the $272 R/T deal post Election Day. The thought of drinking
Korbel in first is enough to make me throw up.
These days, there's a core group that would tell me not to complain about the lack of this and the lack of that. Guess I won't expect much for $272 and 30,000 miles.
Nice report!

There is something positive to be said for staff who have been around long
enough to remember how things should be and used to be. As far as coach
meals, being older than most of the people on this board, I remember the
days when there was medium-rare filet mignon and "Champagne" (Korbel, I
think) with pecan pie for afters.
