That was a white knuckle descent. 50 mph winds. Should’ve changed to MSP in retrospect.

On the plane to HNL. Zero extra connection time

Was just removed from 4D because that’s a pilot rest seat. So now on the other side of the aisle from p2. Oh well at least still in d1.

MSP would at least keep you in D1 and allow you to avoid the mess that CL currently is at LAX. However, I'm shocked that there would be a MSP-HNL seat available during spring break season.

there were 3 for today from MSP until a couple of days ago. I just chose ATL because more time in D1. It worked out in the end.

Good, from reports here on prices, I somehow would have expected ATL-HNL to be more expensive. OTOH, anywhere from MSP is expensive since we're a prime example of a fortress hub, and people here are especially eager to escape winter at this time of year. However, if you're connecting and both routings are "legal", the routing might not make a difference. I guess sometimes married segment availability can be good.

I’m from IAH so both were equally bad. Just landed in HNL. Now time to enjoy!
