Friday October 28th our Hawaiian flight (#25) from Portland, Oregon departed 2 1/2 hours late due to a late crew arrival the night before. We made up time but missed our Kona connection (#288) since we spent 25 minutes waiting for a gate. It took 3 standbys and 5 1/2 hour wait before we finally took off for the Big Island.
I flew Southwest from HNL to San Jose nonstop on 10-31. It left on time and arrived 15 minutes early. Good service. All of you composing – tell us the airline and date, etc. I was in Hawaii for three weeks and three islands from 10-10 thro10-31. I flew SOUTHWEST inter island and non-stop from San Jose to Kona and later HNL to San Jose. No issues; good service. If the complainers only post then the story is skewed. I am happy with Southwest.
While using an app like flight aware is useful, just as an fyi it does not always tell the tale. point in case Today , Nov 1st San Diego to Honolulu flight 15. flight aware is still saying ” scheduled ” 8:00 am departure however the Hawaiian air web site is showing a ” Delayed ” 12:25 pm departure. Looking at the flight aware you can see the plane still sitting ( and its 10:00 am San Diego time ). I use both apps plus the ” my TSA ” app these days.
Knowing what we know about airlines, airports and delays, it just makes sense to pack your own snacks, be ready to be stuck in the airport with no food and you will have an easier time. I always travel with a few cliff bars and a couple of apples in my travel tote, you never know where you will be stranded and for how long. If you know that HNL has crap food – make sure you eat before you go to the airport. Nothing worse than crappy airport food and long lines. Be proactive.
Alaska Air 302 on Saturday Oct 15 and 301 Saturday Oct 29 left and arrived on the dot. On 29th Lihue to San Jose it arrived 30 mins early (favorable trade winds I know). Great service on board. Alaska has never let us down over 20 years. We absolutely love them. Great phone customer service now that they’ve recovered from 2020 and hired/trained enough people.
Our Alaska flight from Maui to Seattle has just been delayed from 115 to 144. So far.
