Those Yellow FlyerTalk Luggage Tags

We're sitting in the HNL RCC after an exciting ride to the airport with a friendly "Type-A" shuttle driver who reminded Brian of himself by repeatedly muttering "Come on, come on..." at slow drivers in front of him.

Security was a breeze, as we managed to get into the line going through the magnetometers rather than the X-Ray machines, which would lead to an opt-out by us and a subsequent grope, er, "pat-down."

Twice within the last couple of days, another member of FlyerTalk has spotted our bright yellow FlyerTalk luggage tags. As Fredd posted a few minutes ago:

NevadaRNO spotted our FT tags the other day as we were riding the subway at SEA. We ran into him later at the SEA Doubletree and again the next morning in the SEA RCC.

And today as we walked along that long curving exterior walkway toward the UA gates and RCC at HNL, N751PR spotted our tags while walking toward the terminal after deplaning.

I know HNL is one of the world's crossroads and this further confirms it.


It's fun through FlyerTalk to meet so many nice people who share our interest in travel. We'll soon board our flight to SFO on a 777. We chose again to be seated in bulkhead. Nobody reclines in front of you and you can have a lot of legroom (or occasionally not too much at all, depending on the configuration). The only modest disadvantage is that everything you carry on has to be stored in the overhead for takeoff and landing.

This will be our fourth time crossing the Pacific Ocean between HNL and the mainland within the past few days, and we're really looking forward to it. Yes, we're a little crazy.
