Our flight would depart Maui at 2pm, which meant we could get up late, do some souvenir shopping, have a decent lunch, before heading towards the airport.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Ticketing\">Ticketing<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned in the previous posts, this was a Star Alliance award ticket issued by Turkish Airlines, costing only 7500 miles since it&#8217;s a domestic itinerary. For our return, we had the options of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Kahului &#8211; San Francisco &#8211; Baltimore<\/li>\n<li>Kahului &#8211; Los Angeles &#8211; Washington Dulles<\/li>\n<li>Kahului &#8211; Chicago &#8211; Washington Reagan<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All three options had &#8220;X&#8221; class available on United&#8217;s website, for which I really liked the third option of Chicago connection. The long flight from Kahului to would allow us a decent rest on United&#8217;s 787-10 <span style=\"font-size: small;\">(I was a bit surprised that a 787-10 had the range to operate this 4100-mile flight given Kahului&#8217;s limited runway length)<\/span>, unlike the other two options where the entire journey was interrupted about halfway in the middle. It also left later in the day, giving us more time in Hawaii. Unfortunately, I tried a few phone agents of Turkish Airlines, none of which was able to issue this itinerary. Among the remaining two, Baltimore Airport suited our schedule better since we could have a car parked there, so we picked this route.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Flight_UA1722_from_Kahului_to_San_Francisco\">Flight UA1722 from Kahului to San Francisco<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The line for security at Kahului Airport was long, wrapping around the terminal, but it also moved reasonably fast. In the end, we were inside the terminal an hour before our flight&#8217;s departure.<\/p>\n<p>Once inside the terminal, I could have visited Hawaiian Airline&#8217;s Premier Club with my PPS membership. However, the reviews online weren&#8217;t that good for this lounge (compared to the one in Honolulu), and since we just had lunch about an hour ago, I skipped it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-major-1\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/20230123_124536.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails\/20230123_124536.jpg\" alt=\"Departure Hall\" \/><\/a><\/br>Departure Hall<\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/20230123_131830.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails\/20230123_131830.jpg\" width=\"93%\" alt=\"Terminal Interior\" \/><\/a><\/br>Terminal Interior<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Most departures to mainland USA were from the northern end of the terminal, requiring a long walk.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/20230123_132002C9.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails\/20230123_132002C9.jpg\" width=\"93%\" alt=\"Planes at Kahului Airport\" \/><\/a><\/br>Planes at Kahului Airport<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Three legacies carriers in one wide-angle shot.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/20230123_132308.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails\/20230123_132308.jpg\" width=\"93%\" alt=\"United Airlines B39M\" \/><\/a><\/br>United Airlines B39M<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">Off to Los Angeles.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/20230123_132320.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails\/20230123_132320.jpg\" width=\"93%\" alt=\"United Airlines B772 (N221UA)\" \/><\/a><\/br>United Airlines B772 (N221UA)<\/br><span style=\"font-size: small;\">My plane to San Francisco.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/20230123_134334.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails\/20230123_134334.jpg\" alt=\"United Airlines B772 Cabin Interior\" \/><\/a><\/br>United Airlines B772 Cabin Interior<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"splide\" id=\"splide-thumb-1\">\n<div class=\"splide__track\">\n<ul class=\"splide__list\">\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails-s\/20230123_124536.jpg\" alt=\"Departure Hall\" \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails-s\/20230123_131830.jpg\" alt=\"Terminal Interior\" \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails-s\/20230123_132002C9.jpg\" alt=\"Planes at Kahului Airport\" \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails-s\/20230123_132308.jpg\" alt=\"United Airlines B39M\" \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails-s\/20230123_132320.jpg\" alt=\"United Airlines B772 (N221UA)\" \/><\/li>\n<li class=\"splide__slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/huangyizhou.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/2023\/01\/23\/thumbnails-s\/20230123_134334.jpg\" alt=\"United Airlines B772 Cabin Interior\" \/><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><br \/>\nJavascript not enabled, unable to display slideshow.<\/p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\">\n#splide-major-1, #splide-thumb-1 { display:none;
