  1. We just took a lovely trip to Oahu a few weeks ago.

    With Alaska Airlines we flew from MCI in KC, MO with a connecting flight in San Diego. We did not get our free Mai Tai from San Diego with Alaska but did get a Biscoff cookie. Had to pay for a snack/meal & adult beverage, all in coach.
    We took American Airlines on the way back and got a complimentary wrap (they offered vegetarian, which was nice!) almost immediately after takeoff, in coach, as well as a complimentary adult beverage. We also, of course, got a Biscoff cookie and regular drinks.

    I forgot to mention our connection was in Dallas on the way back with American Airlines.

    1. Hi Daniella.

      As far as we know yes they are. The only recent Delta flight we did not have meal service on was an overnight flight to the west coast.

      Aloha.

  2. Hello! Thank you so much for your fantastic articles. They have been a major help. I am planning a family trip for 5 people to Maui and Kauai in mid October of this year from the bay area. When would be a good time to purchase? And best price point? Thank you for any help you can provide!

  3. Planning a trip to Oahu from Los Angeles in Mid August. Any predictions on when the best rates will be available, please? Thank you! Ruth

    1. Hi Ruth.

      Improved prices for mid-August on could appear at any time. Suggest waiting with target price of $500 or less.

      Aloha.

  5. Traveled from Minneapolis to Honolulu on Feb. 1 on Delta (A330) and received full meal and drinks, much to my surprise.

  6. The quality and convenience of the audio/visual impacts my choice. Flying United, I have to hold my iPhone for hours to watch a movie on a tiny screen, compared to the relative comfort of seatback sets. If traveling for pleasure, I do not bring my lap top and I don’t own a tablet, so the overall quality for United is sub par. However, last time I flew Delta from LAX to LIH, they did have seatback on demand movies.

    If traveling domestically, especially with Hawaiian’s soon to be launched direct LIH-Mainland flights, I will always choose Hawaiian. But traveling abroad, I typically have to choose between United, Delta and American. I choose Delta.

    1. David, please be aware that Hawaiian’s entertainment system is via you phone, table or computer. The good think is that there is a device holder on the seat in front of you so you won;t have to hold your phone the entire trip. Make sure you download the Hawaiian app if you want to access the entertainment (including in-flight music).

  7. Just flew Egyptian Airlines and all of the above mentioned airlines could take a lesson from them in terms of seat comfort, customer service and absolutely delicious – and free – meals. Good to hear the pendulum may be swinging in the right direction though.

  8. Alaska has always and continues to offer free snacks on all flights. Their catered meals available for purchase are actually pretty decent too in my experience.
