Scheduled to fly Hawaiian from Honolulu to Sydney business class next month. How comfortable are the seats? Do the seats make into beds?
Many thanks in advance for any information
Hi Al.
As far as we know yes you should have lie flat seating. If you search online for Hawaiian Airlines lie flat reviews, you should find a number of different comments on them.
Aloha.
Do you think this will increase flight costs?
Going to Kauai in may and hope pilots are happy and flying at that time – no strike at all
Yeah, looking good pilots will be happy. Thank you beat of Hawaii for the updates.
Mahalo, for being the only outlet that has kept us posted regarding the pilot strike. This takes a lot of stress off of my trip next month, to visit my parent’s grave. I did not need any more stress regarding this upcoming trip. You guys are the best, and I will continue to recommend your website and information for any of my friends going to Hawaii in the future.
Hi Simone.
Thanks and safe travels!
Aloha.
Travelling from Oklahoma to Maui, however will be leaving from LAX to Maui June 9-20th on Hawaiian Airlines already booked. Can someone please tell me how and what type of travel insurance I should be looking at that would cover the loss of flight cost ($1800 for two people combined) and the condo cost which is $3000 or so. I have no idea what is covered and what isn’t, and I have an insurance license. I did click on the link in the article for coverage but the devil is in the details with this stuff. Any help is appreciated. I’d be glad to give you my email if easier. Thank you.
Hi Monty.
Concur about the devil being in the details as is the case with all insurance, trip coverage being no different.
You’ll need to research policies. You can call Insure My Trip or any other company – we find IMT to be extremely helpful on the phone and have used them for years. Also trip insurance policies generally offer a review period where you can cancel and incur no cost. But, having said that, in the end it is the details of each policy that govern.
Aloha.
Thank you. You guys are great at BeatofHawaii, extremely helpful and its’ appreciated.
Hi Monty.
Thank you!!
Aloha.
We are going to be on the island January and February 2017 and I am concerned about interisland flights at that time What is the possibility of a strike during this time?
The Pilots Need their raise now you are just being cheap. They have not gotten a raise in 30 years. The following are just few reasons why Alaska Airlines is number 1. You treat your customers like cattle. There is no leg room in your interisland flights. The flight attendants are rude and untrained in Civil Rights. You folks need to comply with FAA rules and also the Department of Transportation, DC. It is obvious you are not as I see it often you treat your handicap people like cattle! You have employees that steal from baggage, you constantly violate Aviation Access Act rules. Your management is unprincipled and does not follow the rules so how do you expect your employees to follow the rules? SHAME ON YOU!
Wow. Yesterday just flew home on Hawaiian Air direct from Honolulu to Portland. Tried for a seat upgrade as my daughter had booked us in coach but was a full flight! Was very pleasantly surprised to see how organized boarding was, how much space there was for our carry on bags–we never check bags, and how absolutely delightful and attentive all the flight attendants were. We were even given dinner. That never happens anymore. I was looking at your site to get more info on future Hawaiian Airline trips. Yep my glass is half full!
I’m happy the labor dispute was resolved satisfactorily. Great pilot. Probably the smoothest landing ever!
This individual has an axe to grind. Why print posts with animosity?
Hi Nick.
It’s a fine line on what to allow, but at the same time we can’t disagree with you about about their point of view. Appreciate your comment.
Aloha.
Hi
Does affect other airlines we are booked with delta on the 26th….
Thks
Hi Frances.
No it does not – just Hawaiian.
Aloha.
Please keep us updated. I just bought tickets for February. Thank goodness I bought the insurance.
Thanks for continuing to update us on this issue. Am flying into HNL in March for a wedding and so appreciate the info. Keep up the good work! Mahalo
When is the earliest that Hawaiian Air pilots could strike?
Hi Eva,
It will likely be months to years, but again, that will almost certainly not happen. No one knows a specific date.
Aloha.
