Did you notice the cabins run hot? A lot of people get sick on the overheated cabins..

No actually it was fine, perhaps even a little on the chilly side (and I'm someone who tends to run hot so I really notice when the temperature gets up). Both my wife and I had blankets over us the whole time. Mind you it was a very new Airbus.
My wife and I are both people who like to stretch our legs out, so the extra leg room of the Extra Comfort seats was very welcome. Not quite so fussed about the padding in the seat, but it was fine for us, neither of us felt uncomfortable at the end.
The only thing I do think Hawaiian need to do is offer a bigger selection of movies. It's not that they aren't current, it's just that on a flight of that length I'm going to watch at least 2 movies, more likely 3 and I was struggling for something I wanted to watch by the end.
I think its perhaps time to lighten-up a bit. To lighten the mood here's an interesting look back at AIR's safety video's over the years http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/n...ectid=11889319 What's you favorite ? For some strange reason :D mine is Safety in Paradise 2014.
I was discussing airline lounges with a seasoned international traveler. His take on the situation was airline lounges(not just Cullen Airlines) are often overcrowded bun fights. His preference was to use an up-market bar or restaurant where available. He said the cost averaged out to not much more than a lounge subscription with a more pleasant experience.

Not sure I'd agree. Has your seasoned international traveller a lot of long haul experience?
Not that easy to find in airports an upmarket bar / restaurant where you can have a shower - or a desk to do some work or a quiet place to restore after a long flight - or even some place to lie down, close your eyes and rely on the reception staff to wake you up for the next connection.
Agree however with some of the previous posters that the AIR lounges (I have seen) are certainly not the top of the cream. However - you have with the Koru card access to all STAR alliance lounges, and some of them are pretty good.
Is this the start of the deflation... maths trends look interesting
Monday and Tuesday were mostly all hype and no substantial big bids...
Time now 4:25 and the robots are back... must have just been a brief pause for a picnic on the way...
Good to see it comes back a bit. It was too hot.
