Cons: Broken backup computer not identified until 5 minutes before takeoff. Pilot said would be delayed one hour. Delayed four hours and didn’t get in until midnight, with busy day at work next day. Four hours is a lot longer than one hour. Just say four hours up front. Luckily we didn’t have to make a connecting flight. I would have been quite upset if I missed a connecting flight because they said it would only be a one hour delay and I didn’t try to switch to another flight because I was falsely told it would only be one hour.

Cons: Hawaiian airlines handling of canceling flights due to the virus was not good. They just canceled without notice or help on putting me on another flight home. JetBlue was amazing and took care of everything for me. If it wasn't for JetBlue notification of canceled flights, and a manager taking care of rebooking for me, I would not have made it home to Hawaii. Hawaiian airlines was no help at all

Pros: Crew was excellent. Service and friendliness were outstanding. First class seats in are like cocoons with privacy and full recline seats. Individual IPads for personal entertainment; movies, TV and music.

5.6
Pros: The temperature was comfortable. I liked the movies provided.
Cons: I didn't like having to use my own device for on flight entertainment. My phone is too small for the space provided making it a little awkward to watch a movie. I also felt very cramped and didn't know there wouldn't be a window in the seat ahead of the emergency exit row. Also, I have food allergies so the food provided I could not eat. The main meal hit 2 major allergens (wheat and eggs) and even the first snack, potato chips, had wheat in them!

3.3
Pros: I like the ability to have an upgraded seat, and also the staff is very kind and warm
Cons: They really need to try and put a passengers with small children or infants in one part of the plane. These parents aren’t held to any modicum of manners or basic respect for the other passengers around them. If I say something I’m the awful person, when I paid the same amount if not more than that awful child who kicked the back of seat and screamed the whole 5 hrs home. I’m not talking new parents navigating a baby and crying, that’s gonna happen. I am talking about the hideous humans who have decide to have children and check out on being a parent. It’s effing miserable.

Overview of Hawaiian Airlines
Hawaiian Airlines is based in Honolulu and flies to destinations across the United States, East Asia, Pacific Islands, and Oceania. Eight destinations throughout the Hawaiian Islands are serviced, with assistance from an additional hub in Kahului. A large percentage of the airline’s customers are vacationers.
Passengers can choose between Economy, Economy Comfort, and Premium Cabin. An island vibe is felt as soon as you walk on the plane, with flight attendants wearing floral-patterned shirts and flowers behind their ears. Standard Economy seats have approximately 31 in of pitch, while Economy Comfort provides an additional 5 in of room. Economy Comfort also provides a personal electrical outlet and an amenity kit. In Premium Cabin you will be welcomed into a Hawaiian-inspired setting with bamboo paneling and light blue textures. Seats can recline flat, while entertainment comes in the form of a detachable tablet.
It is owned by the Hawaiian Holdings group, which also manages the subsidiary ‘Ohana by Hawaiian. Hawaiian Airlines holds codeshare agreements with several major carriers, including United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, American Airlines, Japan Airlines, Turkish Airlines, and Air China. An interline partnership is also maintained with South African Airways that allows passengers to travel on multi-leg services via New York under one ticket.
Airbus and Boeing aircraft are operated by Hawaiian Airlines. The Airbus A330-200, capable of transporting approximately 278 passengers, is one of the most commonly flown models. All of the fleet are named after native Polynesian birds, such as Maile, Kalo, Lama, and Hau. The names are printed alongside the cockpit windows.
