Secrets To Finding Widebody Flights To Hawaii

March 16, 2023 by Beat of Hawaii 14 Comments

Amazon Partners With Hawaiian Air | New Planes, Flights And Ownership

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.

Some of the flights below include the longest-distance flights within the US. That is the Boston to Honolulu route, followed by JFK and EWR to Honolulu, EWR to Maui, Washington DC, and Atlanta to Honolulu. These range in distance from just over 4,500 miles to more than 5,000 miles.

The use of widebody aircraft can vary by day and by season. So when booking flights to Hawaii, check for the aircraft type and seating options to be sure that you are, in fact, choosing a widebody flight.

        Actually, the first flight of the day is a direct flight from San Diego to Honolulu on the widebody. I just took it earlier this month.

    Your list of wide bodies to Hawaii is not up to date. Kona has more than youve listed.

    Thank you for the information about the flights

    We almost always travel on United from SFO to HNL. This is our preference for seating.

    However not all United SFO-HNL flights are wide bodies so it’s best to check the aircraft when booking.

    Same for United SFO-OGG MAUI.

    On a few occasions UA has also changed the 777 aircraft on us without notice and there are different configurations of their 777s.

      Hi Erick.

      Thanks. That’s so true. We updated the article to point that out even more clearly. You do need to check and confirm that you will actually be flying on the aircraft type you prefer.

      Aloha.

    American has had the wide body only once in my flights from Phoenix to Maui. I always look, but have found them on just one “ season”.
    I wish they would have them more often. I fly Hawaiin and have to stop in HNL just to get wide body.
