Hi and thanks Slippah & PremEx,
I live in Micronesia but this trip I'm going straight from Hong Kong and take the island hopper out of Guam on Continental to Honolulu that lands at 2:30 am, then a code share that departs Honolulu at 5:30 am over to OGG that lands at like 6 am. Then I depart on Continental from OGG to IAH and that departs OGG at 7:20 pm.
So actually I have a 13 hour layover at OGG !! I know terrible flights. Starting in Asia then over to Guam then the island hopper to have a 12 + hour layover during the day at OGG, then an all night flight to IAH.
HNL I'm used to the layovers and know the area, but it's the first time they've shuttled me to OGG just to catch a plane to IAH. I have to take the island hopper from Guam to HNL as I need the stops in the islands to see family even if it is for an hour each stop and drop off items / pick up items.
It saves me a seven hour middle of the night layover in HNL but gives me a full day in Maui. Unfortunately, seeing an island / beach / aquarium doesn't excite me since I live on an island.
Thanks for your help, any great ideas jump up in the future I'd appreciate hearing about it.
