Reviewing all the Hotels, Flights, Things to Do, and Restaurants in Hawaii, one at a time. I live on Oahu and keep my finger on the pulse of hotels, airlines, and restaurants. I want to share with you my passion for travel and my love for hotels. There is nothing like seeing your hotel in the distance and the feeling of excitement upon arrival. Walking through the lobby on a sunny summer day or a blustery winter evening, it's a feeling you can't get anywhere else. Hearing the chatter of conversation with that tinge of excitement and maybe spoken in languages you don't understand. Checking in, opening the door to your suite....Join me as I share my tips on hotels and guides for locations around the world, not just Hawaii. See you in the lobby.
American Airlines Premium Economy | Boeing 777 | DFW-HNL
🎥 American Airlines Premium Economy Review | DFW to HNL on a Boeing 777-200ER
Read the review here - www.suitesandlobbies.com/american-airlines-dfw-hnl-premium-economy-review-boeing-777/
Join me as I fly from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) to Honolulu (HNL) in Premium Economy on an American Airlines Boeing 777-200ER. This 7-hour flight across the Pacific gave me plenty of time to see if the upgraded cabin experience is worth the extra cost.
In this video, I’ll take you through every detail of the flight experience:
✈️ Pre-Flight Vibes: A quick look at DFW’s Gate 33 and a hidden art gem you shouldn’t miss.
💺 Seat Tour: Explore the Premium Economy seat features, from storage spaces and power outlets to seat adjustments and tray-table quirks.
🎒 Amenity Kit Reveal: What’s inside the stylish Raven Lily kit?
🍽️ In-Flight Meals: A surprisingly delicious chicken chipotle wrap, a fresh noodle salad, and more.
🎧 Entertainment & Comfort: My thoughts on the seat’s comfort for a long-haul flight and tips for getting the best experience.
🌴 Arrival Views: Stunning aerial shots of O’ahu’s coastline from the right-side window as we approach Honolulu.
Is Premium Economy worth it? Watch to find out! And if you’re curious about upcoming flights like my Premium Economy journey from HNL to PHX on a Boeing 787, be sure to subscribe and hit the notification bell so you don’t miss it.

Great video. Please tell me this. I have knee issues and going up and down stairs is a problem with me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go? (ie: from room to restaurants, beach, pool etc..) Thanks so much, ssues and going up and down stairs is a problem with me. Does this resort have facilities in place (elevators, ramps, golf carts etc) to help me get everywhere I might want to go?

Very basic, there are better places and views in Waikiki!
0:30 C concourse 2:20 D concourse 4:30 N concourse
Tbh it looks pretty ghetto compared to the admiral lounges of AA lol
Compared to the AA Flagship lounge maybe...
I love the Hilo Airport. I wish all seating areas were like this lower lobby.
I would recommend this hotel in Waikiki, this is more your style, not to many mosquitoes, which I think will be at the other place
Back at it again! Love the Content 👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you!
Hey so I’m curious about the club lounge tip thing.. if it’s self service.. what are you tipping? I’m genuinely curious, thank you!
Great question. I would tip as you would for a buffet. The staff was very attentive to clearing plates and keeping the area clean. I think 7-10% is the accepted norm for buffet type service but I would adjust based on your personal experience. That would put the tip amount at $2-3 for this lounge buffet.
Omg I booked this place, I better get earplugs then
Most realistic video of crawlers ledge I've seen. Great video!
Thank you!
I haven't flown Alaska since 2006. That will change in about a week, plus a round trip to Hawaii in May. Delta rocked the boat, and some of us looked elsewhere. We started the transition right before the Hawaiian acquisition was announced, and the changes so far have all worked in our favor.
Thanks for doing this review, it's very helpful. Evaluating if the upgrade is worth it for an eight hour flight across the Atlantic.
@@alanflora4321 You’re welcome and have a great trip. 🤙🏼
Hello, this hotel looks pretty nice but I was wondering which hotel and area is better I’m traveling with my family (including a teenager) Sheraton Waikiki , Outrigger Beach Comber or Renaissance Hotel and spa ???? Any suggestions. Thanks love your videos by the way.
@@CF-lc7kp for vacation (and teenagers) I would recommend the Sheraton Waikiki. I have a video review of that one also, just search the channel. On the beach, fun pools, heart of Waikiki. Have a great trip!
@ ok thanks, what month do you recommend March or April?? Thanks
On my next trip to Alaska this coming February I have a six hour layover in Seattle, and I was seriously thinking to get a day pass in a lounge, do you know what’s the price for a day pass for non-card members? Is alcohol included? Or what is the best lounge option in Seattle airport? Thank you for your video. I really appreciate it. It helps a lot.

How much is the Alaska Lounge Day Pass?
You're doing a fantastic job! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Please do an update and this time walk through the Residences, which I learned thru booking is a whole separate category / room. Super confusing if you didn’t know! But a MUST to have kitchen/laundry for young families. Also, the resort fee is now $56 and parking $59 😢 they also state on their website that locals get a special rate and don’t need to pay the resort fee!
Thank you for the great suggestion and yes having a kitchen and in-room laundry is so helpful when traveling with kids. I just stayed at Ka La'i HIlton LXR property, former Trump Hotel, and they had a decent kitchen but no in-room laundry. Thanks for the update on the resort fee and parking!
@ ah I just canceled that LXR hotel to book at the Residences! Really wanted more space and kitchen / laundry traveling with kids. The prices were actually super reasonable, considering I had to re-book all of this last minute! Thanks for your great reviews! I actually found your written review first and then realized I was watching the same guy’s review on TH-cam! lol

Best review of the HA cabins, seat, and legroom, thanks.
Theres another Adult only infinity pool at Hale Koa
Ah! Thanks for mentioning that. I hope to review the Hale Koa soon. Such a great location.
I was on the inaugural flight from SEA-HNL back in 2007 in FC. The service back then was impeccable. It was a very memorable experience. Back then, employees cared about your journey. I was also on other inaugural AS flights back then when AS did a massive expansion (SEA-ORD, SEA-EWR) and shared FC with many AS executives. Nowadays, I doubt I would even recognize a once great airline that AS was. With their reduced services and higher fares it was an easy call to move to AA as I retired in Dallas. AA isn't much better (in some cases, worse) but at least AA takes care of their elite FF.
The decline in service levels among domestic carriers seems to be a recurring theme. In the second half of 2025 I hope to review JAL, ANA and others to see how things compare. I hope over time I can get some inaugural flight under my belt as well. Seems to be a great memory for many travelers such as yourself, thanks for the share. 👍
Aah,not sure I would enjoy first class. I would pay if the service and food were great. I appreciate the information imparted, but I think I’d rather save the fare for something else. I was thinking to surprise my son. Maybe on a different flight.
You just saved me hours of research. Thank you for the thorough yet succinct synopsis!
I went here 3 years ago as a kid, it brings back so so many memories. I went during Christmas and we got to watch a giant dance happen outside. I hope to go back here soon :D
Thank you for sharing your memories, I hope you get back soon, truly a special place.
Ooooo, just like a cramped, crowded B-737! Someone gets to sit in a middle seat! How "nice!"
when you do these can you please include prices?
No lobster and no king crab legs NOT WORTH IT !!!!😒👎
Hi there, thanks for the video ... did you sit on 14 or 15th row? I am asking due to I will have a 14h flight do Tokyo and AA set me on 15th row and I do not know if there is more space for my legs as I saw in Air Canada 787-900. Air Canada 15th row is the first row after premium economy (3 row only with bigger leather seat) and I stretch your legs easily.
I believe I was in 14A on this flight. The seat map shows a nice gap between the 14th and 15th but I cant remember if that is a bulkhead or just a divider. 14h flight, wow! I understand why you want a good seat.
@@suitesandlobbies yeah, I saw on seat guru website this gap but in AA's app this gap is not there. I saw the video again and there is no space or gap behind you (row 15) :( My flight is 15C so welcome to default economy seat hehehe
As I expected from Marriott, they closed the Club Lounge. I’m sure it was too expensive to operate along with no resort fee
Yep, total bummer.
I loved big island
I've flown southwest twice and enjoyed it. I didn't mind the open seating since I was traveling by myself and had early bird check in. I get that with full flights and when there are groups, it can be an issue. I'm a fan for sure.
I can't imagine why you would add an unnecessary stopover on a red-eye flight like this.
No cheeseburger or steaks. Sports bar needed there. Relax. TV
Did you enjoy your stay here in Hilo?
I did! Kens for breakfast, Hilo Farmers Market for some giant avocados, and Big Island Cookies for the family back on O'ahu.
I have ambassador status this is awesome!!
Does business class ticket get you in… just wont
ALOHA & MAHALO🤙
Something's off with your cover picture, the one shown before clicking on video. It's not the Hilo airport. Doesn't match up even if image is flipped. Light plane runway crossing obliquely is missing. No shoreline at right corner of runway.
This is indeed an ariel shot of the Hilo Airport, the light plane runway is just off frame to the right.
@@suitesandlobbies Nope. Compare to the first overhead image that starts the actual video. The secondary runway is clearly visible on both sides of the west end of the main runway, but absent from the thumbnail. Also no Hilo Bay and Banyan Drive peninsula at right (north). Skyline is similarly sloped, though.
You create great hotel reviews. It would be great to get you to share on Plannin. I couldn't find your email address. Thank you
Youre music sold me! Felt relaxed just watching! Kahala it is! Thanks!
Great video! As a Titanium Elite member, I can't remember the last time I stayed at a property with a club lounge that was open! Subscribed to your channel. I love learning about new hotels to add to my bucket list, and I always pick up some video editing tips for my newer TH-cam channel. Thanks!
Thank you! Unfortunately the club lounge closed here a couple of weeks after this video posted, so lame. They also charge a destination fee here now, even more lame. Still a great hard product though.
Thanks for sharing 🎉
I stay at both hotels, they both have their likes and dislikes but both are great hotels you can't go wrong with either hotels.
Theres a special place in hell for those who hog chairs all day while they go somewhere else. Just despicable to others
Thanks for your video of the hotel!! We are planning our trip to Hawaii next year. Your videos are so helpful
You are welcome! I hope you have an amazing trip next year!
#1...30/9/24
Ooh! I have platinum status - are there any other good status perks on island? My husband has Diamond with Hilton, as well. Thanks!
Jessica unfortunately this lounge test never worked out. The new Renaissance Honolulu had one and closed it a few months after opening. You need to be rolling in with Ambassador status during peak periods for upgrades. You will get a welcome gift and a discount on breakfast for Platinum in most cases. I am not up to date on all the Hilton Diamond perks so you may want to compare and go from there.
@@suitesandlobbies oh, ok! Well thank you for that information! Complimentary breakfast is my main concern, as I have 4 kids who love waffles 😂 if not for the entire family, at least for 2 (with status).
I've never flown Southwest but I know at Delta, particularly in the warmer summer months, the crew will ask passengers to pull the window shades down before deplaning/leaving their seats to help keep the plane cool. Could that be the reason the shades were down or something similar?
I think you are spot on in this case! I just flew into Vegas, 110 degrees. And they had us do this as well.
They only serve Water and Cran-apple juice on the Inter-island flights now, and defiantly no Alcohol service. To be honest, I prefer Southwest over Hawaiian airlines when going interisland. Such a better hard product and honestly, better gates too
Yep hard product is solid. Rumours about reduced inter island service are swirling so we shall see what routes remain.
The airport definitely needs a major upgrade.
I never knew I was allowed to go there. Lol
