This may be a great option...thanks. I think my concern is comfort and ease on my kids. Honestly, I don't travel(fly) enough to know if it is better to take 2- 5 hour flights, actually 3 flights as I can't get to the west coast out of Albany and break up the trip a tad or one very long one and 2 puddle jumps(Albany to JFK and Oahu to Maui).
Flying direct into Maui from the West Coast is very appealing though as it will be one flight. Any recommendation for which airline and what city to flu out of on the west coast if we go direct into Maui?
