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]

[@robingastonia9192]

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.

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!

When the attendant was driving you to your gate. It sounded like the Cylons from Battlestar Galactica for a bit.

[@aproudamerican2692]

*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.

[@MISSLEONAJB]

I’m glad you had a lovely time away with family, shame about the delay going to LA but it’s great you had another option ♥️ xxx

Hawaii was magnificent and it was so nice to apart of the experience of the things you did with just you and your mom but also the things you did with your whole family and I really love the resort you guys stayed at because it’s like being in paradise so again that for a beautiful week in Hawaii and the best part was you and your family got to spend so quality time together, now I was so sorry to hear about your flight ✈️ delay but it’s better to have a flight ✈️ delay and be safe than board the plane ✈️ take off and have something major happen, anyway glad you your mom and dad made it hear to SoCal safely see you in the next video peace ☮️ out ✌️

Great videos as usual enjoy watching you experience to travel. I was a pilot for many years worked for TWA as well as British Airways and then retired. One thing I always hated was knowing I had animals on board, especially domesticated animals puppy dogs and pussycats because I understand they only operate on love and affection And from my experience and airport is not operated. I love😂😂😂😂😊

Great when u have enough funds to be able to book another flight and wait for a refund on the original flight. Good thinking also.

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,

There was an airplane crash in Honolulu yesterday...I was worried it was your flight. It turned out to be a cargo flight...I'm glad you guys are o.k., however I'm sorry to hear about the cargo flight's crew. Also: Bette Midler was born and raised in Honolulu.

[@michelehood8837]

I saw that on the news, and thought of the Woo as well. Sad for the families of those crew members.

[@buffgrl75]

When I saw the title of the video mentioning a delay I wondered if it was related to the crash. So sad for those that perished.

[@undefined9749]

It was actually a small Cessna 208 with two people on board. It happened as Adam's flight was climbing out (3:05 pm).

[@h7opolo]

i'm glad your plane flew and landed safely. gotta remember, that is no guarantee.

[@Krillinish2]

If it’s not on your list yet, you should try Iceland. It’s a combo of Alaska and Hawaii. Like a snowy Hawaii.

[@luciferbox5577]

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.

Aloha Adam, I can relate to the delay. Our plane had a cracked windshield. Waited and waited hours for parts. No parts found airline fed us and made hotel arrangements for us to depart on the next day.

[@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.

just as you got on the bus in LA i thought I heard your dad almost say something and i realized i missed hearing him the entire Hawaii trip! he must have said a few things but he was rarely with you on the trip right? i guess that is why we didn't hear him much but he just has the best voice very calming!

Maintenance delays are a total crap shoot. Sometimes a 15 minute delay - then some flights cancelled after 3-4 hours of delays.

[@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.

This is the first delay like this he has had on Delta....all the others were American. Delta is one of the most reliable airlines...it is American and United that have more delay issues than others.

Delays happen while traveling, if you learn one thing from his videos is just to stay calm and go with the flow
