I am finally heading stateside after many years! I would be grateful for any wisdom on the following queries from any wiling to share their experiences and recommendations:
I am flying JQ SYD-HNL. Am I right in assuming:
- earliest check in is 3 hrs before scheduled depature?
- As a WP/OWE myself and guest can use QF Ist lounge?
I am then flying:
AA162 HNL 1250 LAX 2110 First class Fri 18th July connecting to
AA192 LAX 2205 BOS 0635 First class
- how early can I check in (if i fail to do a OLCI)?
- which lounge should I head for at HNL given it's a domestic flight?
- will the incoming AA162 and outgoing AA192 at LAX be in the same terminal?
- if I have time to get to a lounge at LAX, which should I aim for (being WP/OWE)?
I am then flying:
AA1089 BOS 0545 MIA 08:55 First class Friday 1st August connecting to
AA1647 MIA 1005 Trinidad(POS) 1345 Business class
-which lounge at BOS?
- where do I clear customs/Immigration (Miami?)
- which lounge MIA?
- will incoming and outgoing flights be in the same terminal?
I am then flying:
AA1818 POS 0715 MIA 1105 Business class Monday 11th August connecting to
AA1506 MIA 1250 BOS 1605 First class
- is there a lounge in POS (Trinidad) given none is listed either on the AA or OneWord web sites, but a shared lounge is listed on BA web site?
- how are people finding the queues/waiting times etc at MIA customs and immigration?
- which lounge is best at MIA?
I am then flying:
AA1725 BOS 0605 ORD 07:40 First class Wednesday 13th August connecting to
AA73 ORD 0900 HNL 1300 First class
- which lounge is best in BOS (I think they open at 0500?)?
- will incoming and outgoing flights be in the same terminal in ORD?
- which lounge is best in ORD?
Finally a hop back on JQ HNL-SYD Thursday 14th (or 15th) August:
- currently on a Thursday which is a non flying day for QF, it seems the QF/AA lounge only opens at 1100 so I assume the JAL Sakura lounge is an option (or won't they let us in given we're on JQ even though WP/OWE status)?
It would appear that QF do NOT bother opening their HNL lounge for Starclass passengers on days when QF HNL-SYD is not operating?! On other days it appears the lounge opens at 0730 by QF taken over by AA at 1100.
Finally, I can find my own way to the F lounge for a QF167 hop back to CNS!!!
Cheers!
