United Airlines | SFO-KOA | Boeing 737-900ER

Hey IFC!
After returning back my wonderful VA crew base of SFO, I got bored. Decided to fly to the wonderful islands of Hawaii and chill there for bit.

Climbing out of SFO

Made it to cruise. I wonder what UA serves on these flights.

Hawaii (in my opinion) is one of the best places to fly to. Love the pics, keep it up! ;)

I saw this post a while ago but I was waiting for someone to tag me 🤩

@Jack_Q
Amazing shots! I flew this route back in July in real life with United in a 739 and it’s great. It’s the flight that got me back into IF after a 3 year break. Seeing you fly it is awesome. I love my Kona, and I love Hawaii
Passing over the north west corner of the island

And this shot. Amazing. I always love flying into Kona because of the entrance over the Island. Just North of the Waipio Valley where I saw the greatest sunrise and the greatest view in my life


So congrats Jack, you’ve made me sad. I miss Hawaii so badly, and I’m going to fly this route some time this weekend. Please post more of Kona 🥺

You could also fly from LAX with United, Seattle, Portland or Anchorage with Alaska, and Phoenix and Dallas with American!

The last photo is my favorite. If it was a 777 it would be even better!

@NoahM I miss Hawaii as well. The only time I have ever been to Hawaii was this March an it was cut short due to everyone being freaked out about the pandemic. We also only had 2 days to plan the trip and book the flight, because we were originally going to London and what is much more risky. The only reason we didn’t just drive back home is because the tickets to HNL from PDX were incredibly cheap. It was not too great of a trip, and if we ever go again we are definitely going to go to a different island.

Great pics! Kona is actually my hometown and I always loved how the airport is an outdoor terminal. However I never got the chance to fly United into there as I’ve always flown Hawaiian via. HNL on the A330 then to KOA with the 717.

Cool pics! I’m currently in Hawaii right now too for SWVA

A really great topic! Reminds me of @NoahM with the approach to KOA ;)

Great pictures, especially (but not only the wing views), thanks for sharing!
