I flew from San Francisco to Honolulu on Hawaiian Airlines. The flight was operated by Alaska Airlines. Everything was fantastic. On the return flight from Honolulu to San Francisco, boarding was chaotic. They called each boarding group 1 through 6 very quickly, and everyone just ran and got in a very long line. There was no enforcement of boarding groups. Carry-on rules were not followed, and by the time I boarded the plane, there was barely any overhead space. I was boarding group 4. The crew was very professional, and the Hawaiian Airlines terminal in Honolulu was beautiful. I wish the rest of Honolulu Airport looked like the Hawaiian Airlines Terminal.
Would like to see more consideration of older people. I have issues with being on my feet and walking too far. You put me in the last seat on the plane. Way in the back. Other than that everything was vey good.
Portland reservationist required me to check bag… tho always been ok as carryon before this experience. She didn’t ask my name or destination, seat number; only looked at boarding pass. She then sent my bag to wrong destination: Idaho Falls instead of Bzn, Mt. I spent 1 hr in Bzn trying to get this straightened out and locating where my bag might be? The Bozeman customer service was great and figured out the error that occurred in Seattle. They were wonderful, filed a claim and located my bag. They also offered me compensation for my problem which was helpful. Missed my meds last nite and following morning. Hope this will be resolved later today. 🙁
The app is very bugy, did not work well. Other than that it was ok.
Excellent gate to gate delivery by wheelchair staff. Really appreciate it!
The flight was delayed an hour and it was not disclosed to the passengers until it was time to board. There was no in-flight WiFI available and such poor communication overall. Unfortunate that I was going to miss my connecting flight with poor communication on alternatives.
My flight was cancelled last minute with zero acceptable options and reimbursement. I called Alaska and was told I had to pay for my own flight home so I bought a ticket for $500, I missed work worth $450. I had no babysitter for my child and her father missed work for another $480. I have diabetes and health conditions that require medication and proper diet which was extremely difficult with only $48 of vouchers and not enough medication for the extra 24 hour to 48 hour delays home. I understand things happen but the support Alaska gave wasn’t responsive enough to compensate or reimburse for the inconvenience. It took several hours to get a hotel for the night as Alaskas link was incorrect, vouchers were used and had no more rooms, people were walking the airport 10x to be told their next flights weren’t accurate home. If someone was disabled I don’t know how they even got support.
I liked The generous baggage allowance. I did not like No meals onboard.
The crew forced all group F passengers to check bags because they said there wasn't enough overhead space, but when we boarded there was TONS of space. I was pretty annoyed by that.
Flight was delayed because overhead bin didn’t close. The most insanely stupid thing I’ve ever heard.
I was with one of the last zones to board. It was kind of annoying to finally get called to board and my whole section was already on the plane. Clearly they boarded with previous zones. So by the time I got on board, there were no spaces for my luggage above my head. I had to put my luggage 4+ rows behind me, which meant that I had to wait even longer to get off the plane, since I had to wait for those rows to clear the aisle before I could retrieve my luggage and exit the plane. This also held up the plane cleaners, as they couldn't service my row until I cleared it, so they were all standing there waiting for me, while I'm standing there waiting for the other passengers to clear the aisle. Anyways, I wasn't in a rush this time, so I just waited, but I could see that being a problem in the future. Now, I could have checked my luggage, of course, but coincidentally, a friend of mine on the same flight got their luggage damaged (wheel completely knocked off) and was told by the Baggage Attendant in the airport that Delta doesn't "cover wheel damage" on luggage. This was disappointing to hear. I'm glad I didn't check mine through. If it were my luggage, I'd be highly frustrated to hear that. It makes me not want to check my luggage in the future.
Inexpensive, got an exit row aisle aeat with no middle passenger, bought a great breakfast sandwich, flight comfortable & arrived ahead of schedule.
Delta was great the entertainment was outdated. Screen was very small and didn’t work.
The seats are uncomfortable, feels like a small seat pad on plywood.
My husband is very tall and we generally fly Delta Comfort. We used our companion benefit, and our seats were coach and extremely uncomfortable........ horrid even
My seat had no padding, it was literally plywood with a plastic cover. I could not change seats on my 10 hour flight. My excitement for this trip helped me deal with the pain.
I notice that every time I fly delta or any American carrier, the staff seem tired, overworked, and not at the service level I’m accustomed to in Asia. They frequently crash into my arm when coming down the aisle. Food is shoved at my face with no greeting or verbal cue. The food portions seemed much smaller than usual and didn’t see much wine or beverage options. This is comfort plus? The plane was old and tired. The bathroom was dripping with mineral stains after a long lack of cleaning. The power socket did not work, although the USB output did. I really wonder why I’m flying Delta, I think it’s time to switch to ANA.
The flight was great. The crew were a little terse about the size of my bag. It fit fine.
Screen didn’t play movies, do I was pretty boated the entire flight.
It was very cold because the air conditioner was on high power, and my son got sick.
Boarding was efficient and there was enough overhead space. Passengers were cooperative about helping each other out. I think folks are happy about going to Hawaii.
The new 787 was awesome! So updated and with the times! Very upstate! Hawaiian is very service oriented and you feel the Aloha!
2nd flight of the day, delayed from the 1st flight being inoperable, and then this one was delayed 45 mins too.
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.
We arrived early and finally made it to our gate almost an hour after.
The reason I don’t fly United. No in seat entertainment for a long flight and inconsistent WiFi and entertainment available from my device.
We were delayed 3x and because I didn’t purchase my tickets directly from United Airlines I was told I Have to take care of it myself so I called Underpricer and they helped me but before I changed my flights I took the risk of sticking by what my tickets were and was lucky to have gotten on the original all flight with only 15 mins before take off. not sure if I will do this again
The planes are so dirty! Food crumbs and finger print smudges, Dust over the vents and carpet stains. It’s disgusting.
Everything good until we waited for jet bridge at SFO. Then pilot gets on speaker & said it won’t reach plane- too short, need to go to different gate. Then 5 min later, adjusted plane/jetbridge & all ok?!?
David went above and beyond to make our flight the best that it could be
Was a pain having to leave the plane and reboard but glad the plane was fixed
How badly can you screw up baggage claim? We were told to go to baggage claim too for our bags from this flight. Another flights bags were there. They finished up. More bags from a different flight arrived. Our bags did not Finally the baggage claim belt stopped working and and are flight was still listed on the arrivals for that baggage claim 2. And then nothing It turns out that they had been delivered not only the United baggage claim but far away on a Delta baggage claim No I never told us. It was only the people looking around who had been on the flight But I’m sure there was plenty of time for the employees to raffle through the bags and steal whatever they wanted
The bag drop personal were not helpful. There was no food on the flight. Boeing aircraft, lousy as always. Everything else was fine.
We had to wait almost an hour for the wheelchair porter to be ready to pick up my mother. And when she arrived in Newark airport the porter was not there and she started walking with her cane and her poor mobility. When the Newark porter found her they didn't want to transfer her bags to the wheelchair for her.
Other than being delayed 5.5 hours and having to get a hotel because I missed my connecting flight, it was an okay flight. No in-flight Wi-Fi or entertainment.
Flight areas delayed 3 hours , train in the airport didn’t work
Flight attendant walked away once they landed and we were forced to wait another hour after an already 3hr delay.
No overhead space so all carryons were checked. No internet.
The flight was on time and everything went very smoothly.
A thousand choices for movies and nothing to watch. I avoid 'R' rated shows and others with violence and sexual content, which results in a handful of flicks to view and I have them already.
I think I paid for an extra legroom seat and to be honest, there was not a lot of space available for my not very long legs. The flight was totally full and the staff did everything possible to meet the needs of all passengers. My only concern was for the size and spacing of my seat.
Two issues. The plane was old and dirty. The armrest looked like an old car that had the vinyl rubbed off. The Seats in these aircraft are about as hard and uncomfortable. I want to tour Italy for a month and I want to buy a one-way ticket to Thailand but I will not sit in the seats these planes have. It is seriously stupid how hard they are.
The meals were mediocre and the alcohol selection was poor. I enjoyed the selection of movies and other entertainment.
I chatted with the captain before the flight, and similarly during the welcome announcement, he warned of a turbulent flight that may impact the in-flight service. However, once at altitude, he announced that the weather changed and he immediately turned off the seatbelt sign. But it appeared the cabin crew had already decided to take off this flight. They remained seated and then just chatted in the galley. The flight was fully catered, but only first class received service.
