About this flight
This was a United Airlines flight from Honolulu to New York LaGuardia Airport, via Chicago O’Hare. I traveled in Economy Class.
Honolulu Airport has open areas within the terminal without walls, allowing passengers to feel the refreshing Hawaiian breeze while walking through the airport — a truly pleasant experience that feels very characteristic of Honolulu.
The flight from Honolulu to Chicago took about eight hours, and from Chicago to New York about two hours. Light snacks were served on each leg of the journey.
