Very nice run.

I can't recall the last time a pilot actually gave a greeting on AA/US, which is nice. Thanks for posting this too. The catering on US looked nice, but given the choice, I'll take AA metal over US any day of the week. US' FC Airbus seats, I find to be very very cramped, unless you're on the bulkhead. This report helps confirm some preferences I've had. Hawaii is always perfect.

This is a hard core mileage run/trip report to be sure.

Hawaii is hard enough from Washington, DC (11 hours in the air, not counting ground transfers and layovers). It is almost unimaginable from London.

I wrote about our experiences in traveling DCA-PDX-OGG-SEA-DCA on Alaska Airlines 737-800 ETOPS equipment last January here:

Wow those old US seats do look tired. They need to do some work to catch up to the 'New American'.

Nice report on a hard core TP run.

Nice trip! Talked about it to my wife. She said: Don´t even think about it
