  1. Why doesn’t Hawaiian offer flights from the midwest? O’Hare, Midway or Milwaukee could they be in the future? Cheaper to fly from JFK except you have to get there then Virgin to LAX then Hawaii after 5 hour layover.

  2. These are single aisle planes – well I guess that will increase my frequency with lower cost airlines like United and American. Hawaiian is always the most expensive airline ticket but we were willing to pay because of the wide body aircraft. Really too bad that the comfort of the passenger is not as important as increasing profit.

  3. What about sending the A321 to Papeete, Tahiti?
    And A330 service to the East coast, especially Newark Liberty?
    And A350 service to London, Paris, Rome?

    1. Hi Marc.

      Definitely expect to see A321 on PPT (updated post to reflect that) and would love to see that operate twice a week instead of once if they can swing it. Newark – no that won’t happen. JFK has been and remains enough of a challenge for them given the loyalty that UAL has back there. Europe from Hawaii is a definite yes. That’s a bit out there time-wise, unless someone else decides to do it first. Wouldn’t be surprised to see Lufthansa on that route sooner than later via their economy wing.

      Aloha.

  4. I live in southern Idaho. I’m looking for the cheapest flight for around June 25th to lihue. And returning from Oahu around the 11th of July. Also wondering what the best option for island hopping is. Thank you so much for your help. Great website!

    I forgot to add that as long as it is cost effective I don’t care what city flying out/in of. However the most convenient cities are: Boise, salt lake city, and Las Vegas. Mahalo

    1. Hi Derek.

      Thank you. All are reasonably equal and frankly somewhat reasonable – $760-$800 for your dates. Boise even has a $700 RT if you come back on 13th instead (American).

      Island Air seems to have somewhat better deals than Hawaiian Airlines inter-island. We still fly Hawaiian for a few reasons including issues we’ve had in the past and the fact that LIH still doesn’t have the new Island Air planes as far as we know.

      Aloha.

  5. We would be thrilled to finally have access to Hawaiian from Albuquerque, and know you’ll keep us posted!

  6. Is it the picture or does it look like a person has to crawl to get to the window and middle seats in economy. What is the pitch – and what height of person will have their knees up against the back of the seat. I’m lucky I’m only 5’1″ but really.

  7. Hmmm…because a few idiots just can’t bear the thought of putting down their phone, we all have to watch movies on our tiny screens or go buy tablets. Of course t makes the planes a lot cheaper to buy and maintain, although an outage affects everyone and not just a seat. I’m betting the plane tickets don’t get any cheaper…

    1. Ron, we had to use a small screen device for a Virgin flight from Australia to the Cook Islands 9hr flight in total. Worked fine when you wear your glasses if you have some? Most people these days have a smart phone or electronic divorce of some sort.. We have traveled Hawaiian several times to Hawaii and to the Main land USA and enjoyed the experience everytime. The price includes your luggage by 2 x 32 kilo bags. On a cheaper airline that would be added like other things. The service from the Crew is always delightful and welcoming. Look the positives not the negatives. Happy times ahead. Cheers WJF
