Gotta pay for drinks/meals but at $1200 less than the price of a FC ticket, that can cover a few drinks.
Flying UA only because of their superb schedule to Maui. DL has now added a morning flight direct to OGG from LAX with a sensible return to LAX midday.
If that flight exists next year when you guys travel to Maui with us, we'll try to see if we can score some FC award seats.
Here's a picture from our room for the evening at the Wailea Marriott:
Off to Lanai, Hawaii tomorrow.
