Many of us prefer to fly on widebody flights across the Pacific Ocean. It’s still just two engines, but we have to say it just is more spacious and comfortable, and it feels better to fly widebody when it is possible for many of us.
Widebody planes also have more seating options than the always 3×3 Boeing 737 or Airbus A321. This sometimes includes true premium economy and business/first class with lie-flat seats.
BOH: Watch out for both seasonal and last-minute aircraft changes as airlines may adjust the aircraft type to meet demand and for other reasons. Don’t assume that the same aircraft will be on any route year-round. Check when purchasing and thereafter.
Your choices of widebody when flying to Hawaii range from Boeing 767, 777, and 787 to Airbus A330 and A350.
Wheelchair accessibility only on widebody flights.
By law, only widebody aircraft with two aisles are required to provide an accessible lavatory.
To Hawaii, which airlines and routes have widebody?
Of the six airlines that fly to Hawaii from within the US, only four feature widebody aircraft. They are American, Delta, Hawaiian, and United airlines.

You missed lihue airport on a Airbus a330
Its difficult to plan a flight with the choice of your plane. As I scheduled mine 6 months in advance, the flight keeps changing, as does the aircraft. I am now just going with the flow. Its too much stress and work anymore. Unfortunately, I am now stuck on a Neo321 from being on a widebody……**&*&*&!
