Hi Adam, I'm the guy who said hi to you while you were waiting to board the Delta flight yesterday. I stayed with the flight, and we finally left around 5:20 and got to LAX around 12:30am. They were rushing us to board, as a FAA time limit for the crew was getting close, which would have made us start over with a different crew. The flight was very smooth, and since we came in after midnight, flew straight into LAX from the west, rather than circling to the east as usually done. One good thing about getting in that late is that LAX and the 405 were empty. Really enjoyed you sharing your HI trip, we love visiting there.

[@selbyjohnson5986]

not too bad of a delay, but still annoying. I'm glad everything worked out!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Thanks for the update ! Glad you made it ok

[@melissalee333]

I was cleaning out my storage unit and found my autographed picture of Don Ho when I met him many years ago in Hawaii. LOL He really had a good show, I really did enjoy it. I loved Hawaii, It was heaven on earth for me. I enjoyed seeing your videos. We went to the Polynesian Cultural Center too and seeing you there brought back alot of memories. We went to Maui too, and it was an amazing trip. We went to Haulakala to see the sunrise and to Hana. I love Hawaii and amazing place.Have a safe trip home.

The agricultural checkpoint is about insects and fruit. A lot of insects destroy crops hence the checkpoint. Fruit trees are invasive as well. Bananas being a good example. California has these checkpoints too,

*That same day that you left Dec 17th at 3pm Hawaii time. There was a plane with two young pilots aboard leaving that same Honolulu airport and crashed after takeoff. Unfortunately, there was two fatalities. Depending on what time you departed. That could have been a reason for some of the long delays taking off.* They're not supposed to seat elderly, disabled or over weight people in the emergency row. Just in case they're called into service to help others get off.

[@kimberlyyin4588]

You're very lucky to have your plane take off from Hawaii. At 3:17 pm a Cessna crashed into an abandoned building by the airport. Gad you and our parents are safe. Great to see your family had a wonderful time here in the Aloha State!

Might I suggest that if you are intending to come to the U.K. on your International travels, you leave it until the Spring at least. Winter is definitely not the best time to come here. If possible, we tend to fly off to warmer climes for some much needed sun.

[@Andrew-h8j2v]

Hi there Adam I do like the Hawaii video and what you saw is a Air Force C17 globmaster

[@hal763]

The area over the gate at C1 is the secure walkway that leads to Customs and Immigration, which is why the escalators are closed off. It runs the entire length of the concourse. Used to have to take the Wiki Wiki shuttles to Customs, but they changed it to an enclosed walkway because it was taking too long. Back in the day, you could go up there and get unobstructed views out those windows.

[@AlanZ-g3t]

Adam you really need to learn how to deal better with delays. All flights to Hawaii that are on aircraft, and that’s a majority of them now, with two engines have to follow the ETOPS(Extended range twin-engine operations performance standards) protocol. This is a very very strict protocol to ensure safety. A lot of international flights as well may operate under these protocols. Also that second level was not offices. That was so international passengers can stay segregated until they get to customs.
