Airline Medical Emergencies

Airline Medical Emergencies

August 10, 2009 by Beat of Hawaii

Have you ever wondered what would happen in a medical emergency hours away from the nearest land, such as en route to Hawaii? The longer the flight, the more likely such an incident is to occur. Here’s what I witnessed on a recent flight from Papeete to Honolulu. A passenger walking down the aisle fell over near me and […]

Why Negotiate Your Hotel Room Directly

Why Negotiate Your Hotel Room Directly

August 6, 2009 by Beat of Hawaii

A whopping 25 percent of the cost of your entire reservation is typically paid by the hotel to on-line sites like Expedia, Orbitz or Travelocity. Given the ongoing sluggish travel environment and the need for hotels to put heads in beds, you can most likely negotiate a better rate directly with the hotel property. If you find a good […]

Segway Tours In Honolulu: Be Careful

August 5, 2009 by Beat of Hawaii

Okay, these fun-looking Segway tours have been around Honolulu for some time.  But Segways didn’t really catch my attention much until the other day.

How To Avoid Checked Bag Fees To Hawaii

How To Avoid Checked Bag Fees To Hawaii

June 20, 2009 by Beat of Hawaii

Two recent comments, from Lance and Colleen, got me thinking about checked bag fees and what I’m doing to avoid them. These fees are just too annoying (though I suppose understandable).  They’re ubiquitous and there is no way to avoid them coming to Hawaii.  Many carriers charge more if you don’t plan and pay for checked bags in advance.
