Thumbs up Finally - been waiting for this since 2010!

Wow - this has certainly been a long time coming! Way back in November of 2010, the HNL SC staff were telling me that this exact thing could happen as early as January of 2011!

DL ops will also move in behind there, and the former NW WC will be part of their office space. DL check-in will eventually move down to right behind that stuff landside.
I'll be through HNL a couple times in the next month, and I think they're due for some teasing about which January...

But definitely good news - IMHO the PC was the best of the old SkyTeam clubs, and the location was great. And it's still close enough to the gardens if I feel like going to them.
