I need some advice please! Our family of 4 (DH, me, DS10 and DD8) are supposed to go to Hawaii next month and I have some questions!
Our original AA flights (all booked on points) were updated so now we’re flying 8 am – 9:24 am ICT to DFW, then 1:25 pm – 4:17 pm OGG. This means we’ll have a 4 hour layer in DFW before our (almost) 8 hour flight to Maui. I noticed that online there’s a flight from ICT to DFW at 10:43 am – 12:07 pm. Do you think I should see if we can get changed to the later flight? I’m a little scared that wouldn’t give us much time to eat, and if our flight is late we could possibly miss the OGG flight. But, 4 hours seems like a really long time in DFW. Which brings me to my next question. DH and I both have the Aspire, which I believe gives us Priority lounge access and should allow the kids to be able to get in also, correct? Is there more than one lounge there? I’ve never actually been in an airport lounge (I feel like such a newb!) What is there to do there? Eat? Anything for the kids? Where is it located? I looked online and it seems like there are different ones in different terminals – is that right?
Also, does anyone have any recommendations for great excursions? We’ll be in Maui 4 nights and Oahu 4 nights.
Thank you in advance for any help!
