I'm flying to the US on combination of points and pay using VA and Hawaiian and have a couple of questions for you seasoned travelers. I'm Velocity Gold, travelling economy.
The trip is
SYD-BNE Virgin connecting to (2 hour connection) BNE-HON Hawaiian connecting to (6 hour layover) HON-SFO Hawaiian
SFO-LAX Virgin America (3 hour connection) to LAX-SYD Virgin Australia
Questions
Will VA check me & luggage to HON when I check in in Sydney?
Assume I will need to clear customs and collect luggage and then re-checkin for HON-SFO?
Anyone suggest anything to do in HON for 5 or so hours as I won't be able to access the Delta lounge? Enough time to head into Honolulu to have a look around?
Will Virgin America be able to check my bags through to Sydney from SFO?
Lounge Access I think I can use
BNE - Air NZ lounge
HON - None
SFO - None
LAX - Star Alliance
