I booked this early September trip in mid-July so I could spend some more time on Maui with my buddy Brad. I used Alaska miles for the mainland / Hawaii flight segments and bought Hawaiian Air tickets for the three inter-island flights. After spending the week with Brad my plan was to fly up to Anchorage from Honolulu then down the panhandle on one of Alaska's 'milk run' flights eventually ending up at Seattle. From there it was an evening flight to Portland and a morning flight home to Phoenix. That's how I booked it. Silly me for thinking I could expect absolutely nothing going wrong during the course of 13 flight segments...with a trip finishing on September 13th. At least that date wasn't a Friday.
This would also be a new city pair for me as well as my fist flight between the Mainland and the Big Island. Now I've flown between the four main airports on four different Hawaiian islands and various mainland cities.

Obligatory cup of chowder from Mo's in the terminal:
