TRIP REPORT | Once in a Lifetime Flight! | Honolulu to San Francisco | UNITED Boeing 777

United Trip Report flying from Honolulu to San Francisco onboard one of the United Boeing 777 on a lovely winter afternoon.

An amazing flight from Honolulu to San Francisco onboard the United Airlines Boeing 777-200ER. This was my first time flying from Honolulu and I must say that I was impressed. I watched some Trip Reports before this flight and I knew more or less what to expect. Well, it was more than excellent. The views of Honolulu on takeoff and the island were some of the best I ever had.

But if I would have to highlight something above everything that would be Honolulu airport itself. I promise that I’ve never seen something like this. I loved the huge amount of open-air spaces that the airport has, offering plenty of views of the apron. It’s a very recognizable airport; when you are at Honolulu airport you know that you are in Hawaii.

About the onboard service, United only offers a complimentary small snack (pretzels or 2 biscuits) and a drink on this flight. However, United has a buy-onboard menu, with not so many options, but those available are great. I decided to buy the Chicken Salad and the Cheese-Bacon Burger. They both were amazing. Fresh and tasty. I wonder why United is the only airline offering something like this… the plane wasn’t full and the catering for purchase was sold out.

Talking about the route, we took off from Honolulu airport heading to the city and the mountains. Following the standard departure, we made an immediate right turn to fly in parallel to the coastline, which gave us some perfect views of Honolulu and the rest of the island. It lasted just for some minutes, but the views during those were perfect.

We left Hawaii behind us and flew directly to San Francisco. Before getting to SFO, and when still on cruise, we enjoyed a really nice Sunset over the Pacific Ocean. Already in the night, we flew through an area of intense turbulence that made us descent to not approach the limits of the plane. We landed at San Francisco airport, already in the night, after an amazing approach over the city and the Golden Gate Bridge.

Once at the gate, the airbridges didn’t work, o we had to wait for almost 40 minutes until they fixed them and we could disembark.

Now it’s your turn!
Have you ever flown with United? How was the experience? Which model did you fly? Have you ever flown on a Boeing 777? Have you ever been in Honolulu? Maybe in San Francisco? What do you think about the onboard service? Should the other airlines copy the United catering service?
Lots of things to talk about! Read you all in the comments!
