I have never been a big fan of airplane meals
We purchased premium economy seats 9 months ago and got bumped to economy when we tried to board the plane. It was a huge fiasco while they struggled to find us seats. I tried reaching out to Kayak to see how we can get refunded for the extra money we spent on premium but have heard nothing back. It was a 14 hour flight and were disappointed that we lost our seats after selecting them 9 months ago.
Flight was overall OK: lovely staff and smooth travelling. The only downside was no food was available on a 3.5 hour flight over lunchtime. Luckily we had realised this in advance and brought our own bento.
The whole flight in Economy was great, the crew were just amazing and the food was great as well
Crew went out of their way for me, not often
Lots of legroom for a small flight. There was in flight entertainment even though it is a short duration. We waited on one passenger to board for a long time after everyone else was on.
Domestic flight, 1hr 20mins from SFO to LAX, which takes about probably 40-30mins on air.
Easy if you are a United States Citizen, when you go to US Border & Customs, bring your Passport if you arrive Internationally. Remember to pick up your check baggage before moving into domestic flights, as they will check the tag for the plane you are boarding in. (They will check your baggage again). Bring your ID/DL (Real-ID COMPLIANT) with you to pass security/TSA, passport works too. SFO is pretty strict as well as LAX. Domestic flight, 1hr 20mins from SFO to LAX, which takes about probably 40-30mins on air.
At Fukuoka, check in counter stuff was no experience , took long time and took out our preserved sheets to change to emergency exit seats without asking. The flight was late and we missed the flight to go back to SF. My luggage was broken. I had a terrible experience.
As my first experience in business class it was a great trip considering how long the flight is and how hard it usually is to sleep in economy
Attentiveness by crew was very good. The seats were uncomfortable seemingly too hard with inefficient cushioning. This was verified with my traveling companions. Also the incline button was inoperable.
I purchased the ticket online and went to do online check in amd the app wouldnt let me. I went to the airline desk and they couldnt confirm my ticket in their system. I ended up having to buy a ticket from the airline directly and paying twice for the same flight. The app wouldnt lwt me check in the kayak purchased ticket until after my flight was taken off.
A great flight experience - great seats, lots of ROOM for legs & in the aisle. Great attendants! My flight cost me the same as ZipAir, the website was WAY less confusing & wonky - this will be my 1st choice for my next Japan trip. Very pleased / well cared for.
Underpricer was terrible. They wanted to charge me $150 for a seat asignment. Kayak is responsible for letting this happen. Please let me know if this is going to happen in the future. If it is i will not use kayak in the future.
Checking in was hard because we had to enter our middle name with our first name and wasn’t told to. The representative from underpricer investigated it and called me back. We were very appreciative for him.
One of the best economy flights I’ve ever taken .
Minimal legroom. Most passengers are respectful and don't recline. Outrageous long walk from Terminal One to Terminal Three.
Good, not excellent. We’re not informed about mattress pads in business class. My partner ordered food and didn’t get it
I said the boarding was just par with other airlines, but I can't think of a way to improve it.
The flight was canceled, and the airlines stated that they don't know when they can put me on another flight. I had to purchase another flight from a different airline. I am now having issues requesting a refund. What a nightmare experience, I will not refer anyone to this airline.
The plane was nearly empty. My wife and I were seated behind a family with 3 sreaming kids. The parents refused to control their kids. When we tried to move to a quieter section of the near-empty plane, the flight attendant said please return to your seat. When we tried to explain, he stared at us coldly and simply repeated please return to your seat. When I asked if we could move after take-off he simply start and repeated please return to your seats. About as far from friendly and helpful as you can imagine.
Paid for extra leg room but seat was still uncomfortable! Not flying Hawaiian again.
Overall, the experience was good, but not special in any way. Fortunately, the flight was quite short. There was no one at the check-in kiosks to answer questions or help. The top of my armrest fell off when I grabbed it to stand up. One hates to see the plane falling apart!
Three issues: (1) There's NO outlet to charge the LT. (2) There was no alternative food for people who don't eat pork, so I didn't eat. (3) Got TM for flight delay to 15:15 instead of 14:35. so I took it easy. Next, I realized that the people are boarding on time, so I started running. Got there on time to realize that I am the last to board. Eventually, the flight left @ 15:15...
The flight attendants were outstanding. The best of any airline we have traveled. Very professional, efficient and attentive. The plane was cold. Actually freezing. Had to buy a blanket. I wish there had been access to wi-fi. The plane was clean and well kept. Bathrooms were outstanding. Thank you.
Would have liked better movie selection, but was great overall.
Extremely frustrated that I followed all directions and Hawaiian Airlines made me leave my surfboard at the airport and refused to let me check it.
The Hawaiian airlines checkin desk was too small for the number of checkins. The seat on the plane was right next to the jet engine and it was very loud. It was probably 90 decibels or more loud. They should offer protective ear muffs for those seats. Seriosly. It was LOUD. The boarding of passengers should begin with those at the back of the aircraft, not the front of the aircraft to avoid having to wade through people who are still putting their stuff in the overhead bins on the way back to the back of the plane.
Always wonderful to fly Hawaiian, they always go above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience. They had my previously requested vegetarian meals. Friendly, accommodating staff, as always.
It was great as usual but the inflight entertainment wasn’t working so it made for a very long flight.
