Aia i loko o kēia ʻatikala nā kuhikuhi i nā huahana o kekahi a ʻoi aku paha o kā mākou mea hoʻolaha. Hiki iā mākou ke loaʻa ka uku ke kaomi ʻoe i nā loulou i kēia mau huahana. Pili nā ʻōlelo i nā hāʻawi i helu ʻia ma kēia ʻaoʻao. No kā mākou kulekele hoʻolaha, e ʻoluʻolu e kipa i kēia ʻaoʻao.
Ua lele aku ka mokulele hou loa a Delta i ka Pōʻalima i ka wā i lawelawe ai ka mokulele i kāna lawelawe ʻauhau mua me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka Airbus A321neo mai Boston a i Kapalakiko.
Hoʻolauna pū ke kumu hoʻohālike hou i nā noho papa mua hou o Delta, kahi hōʻano hou i nā noho hoʻomaha kuʻuna me kekahi mau hoʻopā hou—ʻo ka mea nui loa nā peʻa ʻelua ma kēlā ʻaoʻao kēia ʻaoʻao o ke poʻo, Ua hoʻomaikaʻi iki ʻia ka pilikino.
Ua kakali nui ʻia ka neo mai ka wā i hoʻokuʻu mua ʻia ai ke kumu hoʻohālike noho, a ua hōʻoia ʻia e ka mokulele i ka hoʻomaka o 2020.
Ua ʻike mua koʻu hoa hana ʻo Zach Griff i ka mokulele ma mua o kona hoʻomaka ʻana e lawelawe, a ma mua o ka lawe ʻana o Delta iā ia mai kona hangar Atlanta a i Boston no ka manawa mua, ua loaʻa iā ia ka manawa e lele ai i kona wā e lele ana me ka loaʻa kālā.
ʻOiai pēlā, hiki ke paʻakikī ke loaʻa kahi manaʻo o kahi huahana mokulele hou ma ka honua a i ʻole ma kahi mokulele hakahaka.
Akā pehea e pili ana i kahi mokulele transcontinental e hala ana i ʻehiku hola i loko o ke keʻena mai ka kau ʻana a hiki i ka iho ʻana? E hāʻawi maoli kēlā i kahi manaʻo maikaʻi aʻe.
He kahua hoihoi ʻo Neo no Delta, e hāʻawi ana i nā kumukūʻai hana haʻahaʻa (ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka wahie haʻahaʻa) ʻoiai e hāʻawi ana i kahi papa hakahaka no nā mokulele e hoʻolālā i ka ʻike lele.
"Manaʻo mākou he ʻike maikaʻi loa ia no nā kānaka," wahi a Charlie Shervey, ka luna kūʻai aku o Delta ma Boston, iaʻu i loko o kahi ninaninau ma mua o ka lele ʻana. "Ua manaʻo mākou he hiki ke hoʻokūkū loa a hāʻawi i kahi ʻike maikaʻi loa."
ʻOiai ua koho ka mokulele e kau i nā mokulele ma ke ala ʻo Boston-San Francisco ma kahi o nā mokulele me nā noho moe-pālahalaha, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Schewe ke loiloi mau nei ka mokulele i ke koi a e hoʻohui paha i kēlā ma kahi lā ma hope. ʻO ka mea nui, hoʻolālā ʻo Delta e hoʻohui i nā noho moe-pālahalaha i kāna sub-fleet o 155 A321neos i kauoha ʻia.
No kēia hoʻonohonoho ʻana, e ʻike ka hapa nui o nā ohua i ka papa hoʻokele waiwai a me ka ʻāpana ākea i hoʻonui ʻia. Akā, aia nā mea hoʻokipa i loko o ka mokulele i hōʻano hou ʻia, kahi ʻōnaehana Wi-Fi Viasat hou, nā pahu luna i hoʻonui ʻia, nā kukui ʻano a me nā pono ʻē aʻe e pono ai e hāʻawi i nā ohua i kahi ʻike i hoʻomaikaʻi ʻia.
Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mea hou. ʻO ia ke kumu i hoʻopaʻa ai mākou i kā mākou mau tikiki ma ke keʻena mua o kā mākou lele mua i hiki iā mākou ke ʻike inā kūpono maoli ka hype.
Mea hōʻike: He maikaʻi loa nā noho, he hoʻomaikaʻi koʻikoʻi ma mua o nā noho hoʻomaha papa mua maʻamau. Akā, ʻaʻole lākou i hemolele, a he mau hemahema maikaʻi ʻole - ʻo ka hopena nui o nā mōhai hoʻolālā kahi i kālepa ʻia ai kekahi mea no kekahi hiʻohiʻona ʻē aʻe.
Ua manaʻo ʻia e haʻalele ka mokulele ma mua o ka hola 8:30 a.m., akā ua hoʻonohonoho wau me Delta e kau i luna o ka mokulele i kekahi mau minuke ma mua—a ma ke kahua mokulele—no kahi pana kiʻi. ʻO ia hoʻi, e hōʻea ana i ke kahua mokulele ʻo Boston Logan ma kahi o ka hola 6 a.m.
ʻOiai ma mua loa o ka lele ʻana, ua mākaukau ke kahua no ka pāʻina, a i ka manawa i pau ai kaʻu huakaʻi kiʻi paʻi kiʻi, ua holomua loa ia.
I ka wā e hauʻoli ana nā mea huakaʻi i ka ʻaina kakahiaka a me nā meaʻai māmā, kahi i lawe ai ʻo AvGeeks i nā kiʻi o ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana a hoʻololi i nā mea hoʻomanaʻo, ua hele akula kekahi ʻelele o Delta i loko o ka lehulehu, noi akula i ka noho mālie, a kāhea akula i ʻelua mau ohua ma ka mokulele.
ʻIke ʻia, e hele ana lākou i kā lākou huakaʻi meli - aia lākou ma kēia mokulele i Kapalakiko, a ua hāʻawi aku ka poʻe holo mokulele Delta iā lākou i kahi nui o nā meaʻai a me nā makana (he ʻakaʻaka wale nō, ʻoiaʻiʻo, no lākou wale nō ke kahua holoʻokoʻa).
Ma hope o kekahi mau ʻōlelo pōkole loa mai kahi ʻelele ʻē aʻe o Delta, ua ʻākoakoa ka poʻe hana a me ka hoʻokele honua e ʻoki i ka lipine no ka mokulele hou. ʻO Diamond Medallion lāua ʻo Sascha Schlinghoff o ka mea holo moku Million-Miler nāna i ʻoki maoli.
ʻAʻole ʻike ʻo Schlinghoff e kono ʻia ʻo ia i ka ʻaha a hiki i kekahi mau minuke i hala aku nei, ua haʻi mai ʻo ia iaʻu ma hope o ko mākou pae ʻana i Kapalakiko, a ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e kamaʻilio wale ana ʻo ia ma ka puka me nā limahana o Delta i ka wā o nā ʻahaʻaina. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua hele mai ka luna hoʻokele ma ke kahua a me nā limahana ma ka puka e nīnau iā ia inā makemake ʻo ia e ʻoki i ka lipine.
Ua hoʻomaka ke kau ʻana i luna o ka mokulele i kekahi mau minuke ma hope mai, me ka wikiwiki loa. I ko mākou kau ʻana i luna o ka mokulele, ua hāʻawi ʻia kēlā me kēia ohua i kahi ʻeke piha i nā makana hoʻolauleʻa - he pine kūikawā, kahi lepili ʻeke, kahi kaulahao kī A321neo a me kahi peni.
Ua hāʻawi ʻia nā ohua papa mua i kahi ʻeke makana ʻelua i kālai ʻia me kahi mea kaupaona pepa e hoʻolauleʻa ana i ka lele i ko lākou kau ʻana i luna.
I ko mākou hoʻi ʻana i hope, ua hoʻolaha ke kahu mokulele i kahi aloha pūkuniahi wai i ko mākou holo kaʻa ʻana i ke kahua mokulele. Eia nō naʻe, me he mea lā he kuhihewa ke kamaʻilio ʻana me ka poʻe hana ahi o MassPort ʻoiai ʻaʻole lākou i aloha - ua hoʻokele wale lākou i ke kalaka i mua o mākou no kekahi manawa a alakaʻi i ke ala, akā ua paʻakikī i nā mea holo ke ʻike.
Eia nō naʻe, hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i nā limahana o Delta Ramps e hoʻōki i kā lākou hana, e kiʻi ana i nā kiʻi a i ʻole e hoʻopaʻa wikiō ana, i ka hala ʻana o nā mokulele hou.
Ma hope o kekahi mau ʻōkuʻi i ka wā o ka piʻi mua ʻana, ua hele mai ke kahu mokulele e lawe i nā kauoha inu a hōʻoia i kā mākou mau koho ʻaina kakahiaka. ʻO wau, e like me nā mea holo kaʻa papa mua ʻē aʻe, ua kiʻi mua wau i kaʻu mau meaʻai ma o ka polokalamu.
Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua lawelawe ʻia ka ʻaina kakahiaka. Ua kauoha au i ka tortilla hua manu, ʻuala a me ka tōmato ʻoi aku ka like me ka frittata. ʻAʻole au e hopohopo e hoʻohui i ka ketchup a i ʻole ka mea ʻala wela, akā ʻoiai me ka ʻole o ia mea, he ʻono ia. Hele mai ia me ka salakeke hua, ka pudding chia a me nā croissants mahana.
Ua koho koʻu hoa papaʻaina ʻo Chris i nā pancakes blueberry, a ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua like ka ʻono me kona ʻano a me kona ʻala: ʻoi loa.
He keʻena piha papa mua kahi e hoʻolauleʻa ai ʻo AvGeeks i ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana. ʻO ke ʻano kēia, ʻaʻohe mea e noho mālie i ka wā o ka lele ʻana, a ʻo ia hoʻi ke noi nei nā mea holo i nā mea inu i ka manawa holoʻokoʻa o ka lele ʻana. Ua pane mālie ke alakaʻi mokulele a me nā mea lawelawe mokulele ʻē aʻe a ua makaʻala loa lākou i ka wā holoʻokoʻa.
Ua lawe ʻia nā meaʻai māmā a me ka lawelawe inu hope loa ma mua o ka pae ʻana, ua hiki i ka manawa e hele ai e ʻimi i ka ʻaina awakea!
Akā ʻoiai he maikaʻi ia, ʻo ka lawelawe maʻamau o ka mea āu e manaʻo ai ma kekahi mokulele transcontinental ʻaʻole Delta One i ke kakahiaka. E neʻe kākou i ka hiʻohiʻona kūikawā ma aneʻi, ka noho ʻana.
I mea e ʻoki ai i ka hahai ʻana, manaʻo wau ʻo kēia kekahi o nā mokulele hoʻomaha papa mua maikaʻi loa a American Airlines i lele ai. ʻOiai ʻaʻole lākou he mau pods moe pālahalaha, ʻoi aku lākou ma mua o nā mokulele hoʻomaha ʻē aʻe i loaʻa.
ʻAʻole e ālai loa nā pale ʻēheu ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ke poʻo i kou hoa noho a i ʻole ka poʻe ma ke alahele, akā e ālai iki lākou i kou maka a hoʻonui i ka manaʻo o ka mamao mai kou mau hoalauna.
Pēlā nō hoʻi no ka mea hoʻokaʻawale waena. ʻAʻole like ia me ka mea hoʻokaʻawale waena āu e ʻike ai ma ka noho waena o kahi papa ʻoihana Polaris a i ʻole Qsuite, akā hoʻokumu a hoʻonui ia i kahi manaʻo o kahi pilikino—ʻaʻohe pono e hakakā no nā lima lima a i ʻole kahi papa waena i kaʻana like ʻia.
No kēlā mau ʻēheu poʻo hoʻomaha, he ʻūpā huʻa laholio ko lākou i loko. I kekahi mau manawa ua kau hewa wau i koʻu poʻo ma luna o lākou ma kahi o ke poʻo hoʻomaha. ʻOluʻolu loa, ʻoiai makemake wau e hoʻolilo ʻo Delta Air Lines i kēia wahi i wahi hoʻopā nui no ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe pinepine.
Ua hoʻokaʻawale iki ʻia nā lālani ma nā alahele, a kōkua ka offset i ka hoʻohui ʻana i kahi pilikino iki. Ma kekahi ʻano, ʻaneʻane hewa ka huaʻōlelo "pilikino". Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i kāu mau hoa holo a hiki iā lākou ke ʻike iā ʻoe, akā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi manaʻo pilikino nui aʻe, me he mea lā aia ʻoe i loko o kahi pehu moakaka. Ua ʻike au he ʻoluʻolu loa a he pono hoʻi.
Aia kahi lumi liʻiliʻi ma lalo o ke kikowaena lima no kahi ʻōmole wai liʻiliʻi, a me ke kelepona, nā puke a me nā mea liʻiliʻi ʻē aʻe. Aia kekahi wahi ākea ma ka ʻaoʻao o kēia mea hoʻokaʻawale pilikino kahi e ʻike ai ʻoe i nā puka mana a me nā awa USB.
E ʻike pū ʻoe i kahi pā inu i kaʻana like ʻia ma mua o ke kikowaena lima - ʻo ia wale nō ka mea i kaʻana like ʻia.
Ua hoʻolālā maikaʻi ʻia kēia me kahi lehelehe liʻiliʻi e pale ai i nā mea mai ka paheʻe ʻana, kūpono no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i nā mea inu i ka wā o ka lele ʻana.
Ma kou mau wāwae, aia kekahi lumi liʻiliʻi ma waena o nā noho ʻelua i mua ou, i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia i loaʻa i kēlā me kēia ohua kahi ākea. He nui ia e paʻa ai i kahi kamepiula lawe lima a me kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe. Aia kekahi mau ʻeke nui i loko o nā kua o ka noho, a me kahi no kahi kamepiula lawe lima. ʻO ka hope loa, aia kahi lumi ma lalo o ka noho i mua ou, ʻoiai ua palena iki ia.
Eia naʻe, ua hiki iaʻu ke noho ʻoluʻolu - ʻoiai i ka wā ʻai - me kaʻu kamepiula lawe lima a me ke kelepona i hoʻokomo ʻia, kahi ʻeke me kaʻu mau mea hoʻoili like ʻole, kahi notepad, kaʻu kāmela DSLR a me kahi ʻōmole wai nui, a me kahi hakahaka.
He ʻoluʻolu loa nā noho ponoʻī, a ʻo nā hopohopo a pau aʻu i loaʻa ai e pili ana i ka padding lahilahi he mea ʻole ia. Ma 21 ʻīniha ka laulā, 37 ʻīniha ka pitch a me 5 ʻīniha ka pitch, he ala maikaʻi loa ia e lele ai. ʻAe, ʻoi aku ka lahilahi o ka padding a ʻoi aku ka ikaika ma mua o nā keʻena kahiko, e like me Delta's 737-800, akā hiki i ka huʻa hoʻomanaʻo hou ke hana maikaʻi me nā mea liʻiliʻi, a no ka aneane ʻehiku aʻu i kau ai ma luna o ka moku Hours. Ua loaʻa iaʻu ke poʻo poʻo, me kona kūlana hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia a me ke kākoʻo ʻāʻī, ʻoi aku ka ergonomic.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, hiki iaʻu ke hoʻāʻo e hoʻopili i kaʻu AirPods i ka ʻōnaehana hoʻokipa inflight ma o Bluetooth, kahi hiʻohiʻona hou a Delta e hoʻokele nei ma ka papa mua ma kēia mau mokulele. He kīnā ʻole, a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ke kani ma mua o kaʻu mea maʻamau i ka wā e hoʻopili ai iā AirPods me kahi dongle Bluetooth AirFly.
Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i ka pale hoʻokipa ma luna o ka mokulele, he nui a ʻoi hoʻi a hiki ke hoʻokiʻekiʻe ʻia i luna a i lalo, e hāʻawi ana i nā kihi like ʻole ma muli o kou ʻoki ʻia ʻana a i ʻole ke kanaka ma mua ou.
ʻO ka mea mua, he mea paʻakikī loa ke puka i waho o ka noho puka makani. ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā lockers ma waena o nā noho mua ʻelua i loko o ka wahi wāwae, me kahi kapuaʻi wale nō o ka hakahaka e hele ai.
I hui pū ʻia me ka noho nui ma luna o kēia mau noho, hiki i kēia ke lilo i pilikia. Inā e noho ana ke kanaka ma ka noho alahele i mua ou a ke hoʻāʻo nei ʻoe e puka i waho o ka noho puka makani e hoʻohana i ka lua, pono ʻoe e hele me ke akamai. Ua lawa paha iaʻu ke koho i kahi noho alahele ma nā puka makani o kēia mau mokulele. Inā he mea hiamoe ʻoe, e mākaukau e hoʻāla ʻia e ka mea holo ma hope ou e hopu ana i ka noho i ʻole ʻoe e hāʻule.
ʻOiai inā ʻoe ma kahi noho ma kahi alahele, inā ʻoe e wehe i ka papa ʻaina, e ʻike maka ʻia ke kanaka e moe ana i mua ou e ʻai ana i kou wahi a e manaʻo he claustrophobic loa. Inā e moe ana ke kanaka i mua ou, hiki nō iā ʻoe ke paʻi ma ka kamepiula lawe lima, akā e nānā iki paha ia he paʻa.
Paʻa pū kekahi: wahi mālama ma lalo o ka noho. Mahalo i ka pahu e loaʻa ana ka ʻōnaehana hoʻokipa a me ka lako mana, a me ke kickstand no kēlā me kēia noho, ʻaʻohe wahi liʻiliʻi no nā ʻeke a i ʻole nā mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o kou manaʻo. I ka hana maoli, akā naʻe, ʻaʻole kēia he pilikia maoli, ʻoiai he nui ka wahi o ka ʻōpala ma luna.
ʻO ka mea hope loa, he mea hilahila ʻaʻole i koho ʻo Delta e hoʻohui i nā wahi hoʻomaha wāwae a i ʻole nā wahi wāwae, e like me nā recliners i kāna papa hoʻokele waiwai Premium Select. ʻAʻole kēlā ka mea maʻamau no nā noho papa mua ma American Airlines, akā ke hoʻokiʻekiʻe nei ka mokulele i ka pae - no ke aha e hoʻokiʻekiʻe iki ʻole ai i ka pae e maʻalahi ai i nā mea holo ke hiamoe i nā mokulele maka ʻulaʻula a me ke kakahiaka nui?
He maikaʻi loa ke ʻano o ka noho papa mua hou no ka Delta A321neo. ʻOiai paha e hoʻonui nui ʻia ka ʻōlelo hoʻohiki o ka "pilikino", ʻaʻohe mea e like me ka manaʻo o kahi pilikino e hāʻawi ai kēia mau noho.
Aia kekahi mau pilikia, a ke manaʻo nei au e hoʻonāukiuki ʻia nā mea holo ma muli o ka paʻakikī o ka puka ʻana mai ka noho puka makani i ke kūlana hoʻomoe aʻu i wehewehe ai ma luna. Akā naʻe, e hana maoli nō wau i nā mea āpau e lele ai i ka papa mua ma kēia mokulele ma mua o kahi mokulele like.
Nā mea koʻikoʻi o ke kāleka: 3X mau helu ma ka ʻaina ʻana, 2x mau helu ma ka huakaʻi, a hiki ke hoʻoili ʻia nā helu i nā hoa huakaʻi he ʻumikūmālua a ʻoi aku
