Positioned between economy and business, this is fast becoming the ideal product for medium-range Hawaii flights. It’s a winner because it provides great benefits and value to both airlines and passengers.

Except for added seat space, Hawaiian Air is currently the only airline that offers meals in standard economy and their flight attendants offer excellent service, throughout the aircraft, already.
Only benefit for adding premium economy on Hawaiian would be added seat space. I understand Hawaiian Air’s hesitancy in joining the Premium Economy hoopla, they already offer premium economy service in standard economy.

LAX to Honolulu three times in 2023. Flew on Hawaiian 1st class and so disappointed that the lie flat seats made it difficult for a 5ft.5ft. person reach the foot rest however better than the Delta first class seats which was the Neo 321 that had no leg rest at all.
Regretfully, we return with United first class and it was worse with a foot rest, narrow two seats and no access to any movies.
If you had a cell phone you would be lucky. United meal was the worst.
It is a continuation of the downgrade of aviation. The Megarich now fly in their own planes, True First Class is being replaced by Business First and Premium Economy replaces Business while Basic Economy is at the bottom as ever. So we have cutbacks on the frills and service of the old regime but whilst the comparative fares may look a deal, we are alas paying more for less. Then we have the focus to turn the FFB plans into a financial product and diversify away from air travel. Something tells me some of the heads at airlines will roll when the recession really hits and the loyalists who have been lost by the nickel and diming do not come back to bale them out. Interesting times. Keen to see what the Hawaiian Freight tie up will bring.
