THE PILOT LIFE // 2 DAY TRIP : MAUI HI

Join along for a 2 day trip from Seattle to Maui. With a 24 hour layover, I rented a car to hit up some of my favorite places to check out in Kihei. The flight to Maui is just under 2,500 nautical miles and took a little over 5 hours both ways. Smooth flight all the way across the ocean which is always makes the people happy:)
Another good trip with a great First Officer in the books!

Thank you for commenting. The reason I watch and view your page is for encouragement. I am in pursuit of obtaining my private pilot license and to become an regional first officer commercial airline pilot. I've been in transportation for over 25 years. I started this journey in 2017. And it has been very interesting learning about aviation. Currently, studying for FAA written test. Thank you again for everything. You are my Inspiration. To become a commercial airline pilot.

I love maui!❤

[@robert28844]

I have family near Eugene. I recognized that airport in a heartbeat. I may work with you if the merger goes thru. 😊

[@Plexus37]

I live on Maui, in Kihei, and really enjoy landing back here. It is more often than not a little bumpy on the way in and great fun.

[@2165612]

Just found your videos. Real world awesome were the words that came to mind! Thank you for sharing your job with us.

[@ThePilotLife]

Yes they are!

[@user-bw4vd3vl9y]

Many thanks for the video and channel! Despite my old age, I still want to make it someday in the cockpit of an airliner. Doing this in the US is even greater. Thanks again and greetings from France

As someone who loves using flightsim as a tool to keep me proficient with IFR procedures. I really like how you added that to the vlog. Really nice touch

I love Maui, been going there since 2008. Kihei is the best place to stay. I recommend Kihei Surfside. It is right on the ocean at the south end of Kihei by Keawakapu Beach A great place to visit,. Great video1

[@tburn1231]

Just found your channel, it’s great!! I fly the 777 here in Canada, been looking at getting down to the states for a while now but it’s pretty tough. You seem incredibly genuine which is nice to see in these types of videos… would love an opportunity to be part of your crew one day! Safe flying

[@ThePilotLife]

That would be awesome! Thanks for the comment and safe flying to you as well!👨‍✈️😎

[@amyparis1118]

Just found your videos. Seattle located but fly to Maui and other destinations often always on Alaska. Love this video and I am going to catch up on others now.

[@yySF77]

[@darrenfike924]

[@anthonyvega1959]

I appreciate your content and thank you for sharing. I have always wanted to go on a discovery flight and just went to a flyin this past Sunday and in a raffle I won a discovery flight and hope this launches me to earn my certificate

[@timlewis5007]

Can’t believe I haven’t seen your channel yet. Your video quality is insanely good!

[@ThePilotLife]

@@timlewis5007 I appreciate that! Happy you stopped by and checked it out!👨‍✈️😎

[@Launchpad737]

I'm curious how you do rental cars. Do you plan way ahead or book last minute, what's your favorite rental car agency? Thanks for another great video!

[@ThePilotLife]

@@Launchpad737 I used to use Costco but now I book primarily through Budget. I joined their FastBreak program (free to join) and that allows me to skip the sometimes incredibly long lines and proceed directly to the car. I booked this car the day prior and the jeep was the same price as the economy car🤙

[@RobertHansenRob]

Thanks for a fantastic vlog. Watching from Australia. I am new to your channel and love it. Your sit down chats are great as well. I also watch from your company and same base i'm 99% sure, Alyssa Stauffer vlogs are wonderful also. Perhaps there is potential for one together. Perhaos a silly idea. Rob

[@ThePilotLife]

Thanks for the kind comment and for saying hi! I’ll certainly check out Alyssa’s vlog👨‍✈️

[@mattjones2073]

Stew's Burgers in Kihei is awesome if you like grass fed beef burgers!!

[@ThePilotLife]

@@mattjones2073 another place into the list! Thanks!🍔

[@mattlantzy5093]

Another A+ video

[@DeeDeevanGogh]

I had a flight awhile back with a 2 day layover in Hawaii and used that time to catch a really nice Marlin. Some of the best fishing in the world is Hawaii.

[@kevinoleary5703]

Hey just curious what kind of sunglasses are you wearing?

[@davidbueche7660]

What was the completion flight time of Hawaii to Seattle. U never said it after the flight

[@thereissomecoolstuff]

Great channel. Enjoying it very much. With the delay did the FO win the bet?

[@ThePilotLife]

😂🤣😂 For sure!! Thanks for checking it out!

[@owenkimbrough8537]

What flight school did you go to? I’m starting soon and just curious if there’s anything you can give me some tips on! Thanks

[@SomeOne-mp6ym]

Wondering why when you landed on 2 you needed clearance to cross 5? The terminals are adjacent to 2. Thanks!

[@ThePilotLife]

@@SomeOne-mp6ym When you exit runway 2 at the end, your taxi route brings you across Rwy 5 up to the terminal👨‍✈️

[@sirjasonakana]

Akamai= ah-kah-my….it means smart

[@ThePilotLife]

@@sirjasonakana I appreciate your comment!! Still learning👨‍✈️

[@sirjasonakana]

@@ThePilotLife your welcome, I enjoy helping people learn the correct pronunciation…you did a good job.

[@hawkszone3310]

Akamai Coffee is great? Um, anytime I have been in there it is staffed with 2 distracted trust fund kiddos who probably just need to be employed to keep in agreement with their dispersement requirements. They spend most of the day staring at their phones. And don’t even think about ordering food - you will be there for an hour…
