Where Do Flight Crews In OGG Stay?

dfwjim1 · Wed Apr 02, 2014 5:33 pm

I was in Maui a few years ago and I noticed that there were no hotels around PHOG and Kahului. When flight crews from the
airlines and private jets have to overnight in Maui do they stay in the many beachfront hotels in Maui or do the airlines/private
jet companies rent homes in Maui for their crews to stay in? I am not looking for the names/locations of the hotels/residences
but rather I am just curious as to what kind of living arrangements are made for the crews.

Thanks for your responses.

aloha73g · Wed Apr 02, 2014 5:42 pm

There are a few non-resort mid-range hotels in Kahului and Wailuku that cater mostly to local people. I would assume anyone on a short layover might stay there.

-Aloha!

AADC10 · Wed Apr 02, 2014 5:43 pm

Airline's crew hotel deals usually include transportation so the hotel would arrange a shuttle. UA rarely schedules layovers at OGG but there are situations were it happens at almost any station.

One major US carrier that I know stays Kihei while another in Wailea.

Three years ago I met some US Airways crew staying in a resort in Lahaina.

Hana of course! Man that would be a drive to get to work.

I wondered that myself, I just went there for my honeymoon and stayed at the Hyatt Regency, it was a bit of a haul from OGG but not too bad considering they were most likely going to fly 1 leg that day.

There's a Courtyard by Marriott right by the Costco at the exit of the airport. Cheapest gas on the island is at the Costco.

We ended up at Oyako Tei really close to there, hole in the wall but great food and prices, will try Da Kitchen next time. In Lahaina, best place was Star Noodle, good prices and great food. Pilots always find good, cheap eats, even on their honeymoon!

Quite a few crews stay on Maui every day. When I was SEA based for HA we originally stayed at the Maui Prince hotel (now the Makena Beach Resort). That changed several years ago, and until the closure of the SEA base we stayed in Kihei.

There are crews from other airlines now staying in Kihei, Wailea, and Kaanapali. It's a great layover - I wish I could still do them.

I think the rates at the Courtyard next to the airport are actually higher than many of the mid-range hotels in the resort areas. Airlines can often get reduced rates for the bulk purchases of rooms for the layover crews, even in resort areas.

georgiaame · Wed Apr 02, 2014 8:47 pm

It's ancient history at this point, but more than 10 years ago, my son and I stayed at the Maui Beach Hotel just outside Kahului, after one very long schlepp from Atlanta. There were several flight crews staying there. Just looked the place up on a popular booking site, seems it's currently a 2* hotel, so perhaps standards have dropped. As for these days, can't help you.

Are you sure UA rarely has crew layovers? Doesn't UA fly DEN-OGG are those crews that work the route flying the route round trip in one day? If so that would make for a really long day if you take into account the ground time in OGG. Perhaps the crews who are flying LAX-OGG and SFO-OGG make the round trip in one day but I'm not sure about the crews working DEN-OGG.

jfklganyc · Wed Apr 02, 2014 10:03 pm

Usually they put crews in a resort area in this situation.

Very rarely do you find crews flying long-haul or even medium-haul to an island and staying at the airport Courtyard.

These are long layover situations. The courtyard would be more of a short-stay hotel.

Also, anybody who wanted to do harm to a specific airlines flight crew, if truly intent or deranged, all they've got to do is go to the airport and wait curbside to see which hotel shuttle bus picks up their crew.

Company policy is dictated by insurance companies, not by a genuine known threat. I have never heard of a case of flight crew being targeted in their hotel in the States. If they were serious about crew hotels not being known then airlines would force crew to change into street clothes before getting into shuttles as they could easily be tracked that way.

I am certainly not advocating for crew to break company policy, and if you don't want to post, you should not feel obliged to post. But the dramatics and self-importance on here sometimes is a bit much.

I believe UAL flight attendants do turns sometimes from the west coast to OGG but pilots can't do it with rest and duty time requirements so we almost always stay in Kihei or Lahaina areas. Layovers are long enough that the bus ride isn't a big deal. HNL is always downtown/Waikiki. Hotels change from time to time and I don't want to post specifics for security reasons.

Should I make a post asking where all IBM, Google and Apple employees stay overnight in hotels while on company business trips? Why is it acceptable to ask where Crew stay?

I hear everyone saying it should not be such a big deal knowing where crew stays and on the outside looking in it may seem not such a big deal. However consider that with all the crews staying around the world the policy of don't tell makes more sense. In a place like OGG the risks are probably more of the stalker type. However when you look at other hotbeds of activities (places like TLV, BEY etc..) if someone wanted to hit the news targeting crew could be an effective way of doing that.

This is why we are protective over the location of where we stay. For those of you saying you can find the information if you look hard enough, frankly you are probably right, however a forum such as a.net or pprune would be an obvious place for some to look for information, we don't need to make it any easier now do we..

This is on the internet and where the crews stay needs to be safeguarded I agree but unfortunately this is the internet and if you really wanted to harm a specific crew member or make a splash, you don't need to know where they are staying.

Look, I get the concern but if it really was that critical you wouldn't show up at the front of the hotel wearing your uniform and tell me that DL stays at the hotel all the time. Sorry, I'm just not buying this security issue when staff seems to care not. Rolling in and being loud in the lobby with your DL hat on draws attention. I could list hundreds of hotels around the world where I know pilots and flight crew stay. I'm not going to self sensor myself but at the same time I'm not taking photos and documenting their travels. If I saw some DL employee a month ago in a hotel (or share a bus with them) and someone asks where flight crews stay, I'll be happy to impart my knowledge.

You guys really don't get it. There are rules the airline employees have to follow, and one of them is to not broadcast where we are staying on layovers. You are thinking too much black & white, when security comes in all shades of gray.

Sure, a good detective could find out where we are staying in just a few seconds. That's not the point. We're trying to avoid the wholesale broadcast of our location on an unregulated internet where any person could just read about it. We're trying to keep a level of discretion going here to avoid the type of incidents mentioned above where some passenger found out where that cute FA is staying and in a drunken stupor crawls over there trying to find her. It's not about high-level 'top secret' security, but an everyday common-sense approach to safety.

As an example, do you post your social security number online? Do you post your phone number, address, and e-mail where anyone can find them? No. But I'm sure a security specialist could find out that information too within a couple of seconds, so who bother? The answer is again - common-sense security. So please, we know someone in the hotel lobby could look around and see a bunch of crewmembers, but I'd rather have those dozen people know where I'm at than a couple billion people on the internet knowing where I'm at.

Look I do get your point. There are probably rules out there. But they don't apply to me. I can't be expected to adhere to airline rules when I'm not an airline employee. Common sense would be not to say "I've got 10 hot flight attendants in a hot tub at the Westin, come on over". But to expect people not to say, "Yes I did notice a DL employee at my hotel I stay at months ago", that's unrealistic. I mean heck you said:
