Hi Kimberly,
This reply will probably come too late--I'm really sorry, but I just now got your e-mail.
As for a small child, I'm honestly not acquainted with any programs or activities geared toward small children. The obvious, of course, is that kids love the beach, and probably most types of boat rides. You didn't mention just how young your child is, but one option is a "glass bottomed boat". These are actually boats with underwater windows, so you just walk down below and look out at the reef. It's almost like being in a submarine, but you can step back up topside anytime.
One more thing--some hotels have in house programs to entertain the kids. You might check with your hotel, or with the concierge of other hotels, and see what you find out. Good luck, and I hope this wasn't entirely too late in coming.

Hi Coyne,
Hmmm...I can't say I know much about HNL deals in particular. Does you friend need all around info about HNL, or just info on a hotels? If it's just hotels, and your friend is looking for "cheap", try the Marine Surf, on Seaside Avenue. It's just 1/2 block from Waikiki, and in a very safe and central location, but, it's also very low on frills, shall we say. Phone number is 808-923-0277. If your friend happens to work for United, there is an annex next door, which we just call the Seaside. It's basically owned by United, just for layover crews, but several years ago, they started renting extra rooms to United dependents. They may even rent to other airlines now. The last I knew, they still didn't rent to the general public, which was great for us! I haven't been in there in some time, but I like the rooms much better than the Marine Surf. It just seems like the quality is higher, but still no frills. You can call the number I gave you, and ask for the front desk next door at the Seaside.
For a fabulous dinner, not to be missed, go to the Colony Surf (condo building) at the base of Diamond Head, to a restaurant called Michele's. It's my favorite thing to do on Oahu. Don't fail to order the Crepe Suzette, made right at your table. Another popular thing with crews is to go to the Halekulani for sunset, pupus, and hula entertainment. It's not cheap, but is very enjoyable.
One last thing that just came to mind--if you will go over to the Seaside, especially in the early morning, that's when all the crew members are drifting down for morning coffee, breakfast, and exercising, and the lobby can be a rather energetic place to get some more up to date pointers.
Aloha, and happy traveling.

Adrian,
Thanks I forwarded this to my Friends. She just retired this last Monday from USAirways. She will be trying the ID95 benefits with UA we just got. Maybe that will also extend to the UA hotel.
Thanks again!
hi im going to maui in july 23 for 4 nights and would like to know how are the flights and if you know any really nice resorts that offer interline rates in maui
thanks
How you flying non rev? If so it is a way to early to tell how the flights look.The status of a flight may change the day of . If you have access to an employee line the best advice id to wait until the week of travel to check out flights.I normally don't book my hotel until the night before we leave to be sure we are getting on. Below are some of the resorts on Maui that will give Airline employee discounts.

Hi Yoli, welcome to the Forum
You can add the Sherton Maui at Kaanapali to your list. They offer a 50% off airline discount.
Non-revving to Hawaii is always dicey and July is a busy time but it can be done. Don't forget Hawaiian Air & Aloha as back up from the west coast. BTW, if you decide to do sunrise at Haleakala, let me suggest you do it your first day. Coming from the east coast, waking up at 2AM shouldn't be that difficult.
Keep'em flying

Hi Adrian,
I am planning to go to Maui in Sept. and need to find lodging. In the past I have seen different postings on bulletin boards and such from airline employees that own and rent condos to other airline employees and wondered if you know of any UA employees who have condos on Maui. I would consider doing an exchange for some advertising on The Nonrev Network for accomodation or a good discount on accomodations.

We are going to maui aug 15 the loads don't look real well on delta for that time, but looks excellent into hnl, is it hard to do an id90 on ha or aq into ogg? I work for delta so we could get into hnl about 2pm and there looked to be several flights, which airline would be best to do id 90 on? Also thinking of staying in a condo on Waalaea but I know it can be windy and cloudy, any info on that?
I will be coming to Maui in August and have gotten a great deal at the Polynesian Shores-do you know anything about it? The rest of the wedding party is on Kanaapali Beach at the Ashton Villas, but the can't give the nonrev rate for the time I will be there. I will be with my 8 year old and we want to do a lot of things in Maui, any great ideas?
Kara

I am a 30 year veteran purser/flight attendant with United--and I still love every minute of it! After a long term love affair with the island of Maui, my husband and I decided to follow our dream, and move here. Living here is very different from vacationing here; living on a rock in the middle of the Pacific does have some drawbacks, but we really enjoy the weather, the activities, and have made some wonderful friends.
We are experiencing a culture and lifestyle most people could only fantasize about, and we always enjoy the opportunity to share information about "our" island. When I fly LAX-OGG trips, I often spend half the flight writing and sharing restaurant and "what to do" tips for my passengers. It is still a privilege to share info on Maui with anyone who has an interest, and I welcome any queries about the island. If I don't have an answer for you, I will make every sincere attempt to find out.
