  1. Mahalo Beat of Hawaii for the amazing updates and spot on commentary.
    I’m currently at the airport in Honolulu..as I write, waiting for incoming Ohana.
    Hawaiian Airlines has completely lost their marbles.
    From the baggage to the bathrooms, it’s beyond anything I’ve ever seen, and never wanted to see.
    Service? No Aloha.
    Bathrooms blocked because of an “incident”..maybe sewage?
    Confusion is rampant.
    The one cohesive theme is mean. Mean people working.
    I’m, literally, embarrassed to have guests coming here.
    Aloha and blessings always.

    1. Hi Pam.

      Thanks! You and Jeff were probably at HNL airport at the same time. Sorry to hear about your experiences – and we’d love to learn more. Watch for some interesting reviews upcoming from us as well.

      Aloha.

  2. The hula flashmob was so sweet, it made me cry. So lovely. They had no agenda other than sharing their art and traditions with the other passengers. So sweet that they included “I left my heart in San Francisco.

  3. Sorry but I would have loved to have been on these “shtick” flights! Jason – yum! And I’ve always wanted to play the ukulele but never find the time so focusing on it on a five hour flight to Hawaii would do it for me! 🙂

  4. I’m Certain that the Give Always are a Great way of Advertising for the Companies Involved but how many people will be taking Ukulele Lessons when on vacation? Jason, Hawking Canned “Hawaiian Named” water from Montana and other locations within the Mainland will eventually fall through. People do tend to read the labels and word will spread quickly. Disappointing! Maybe Hawaiian could get Stand up Comics and serve 1st class food as a surprise! I’m Certain that they can do better, maybe free tickets on SWA. Wouldn’t that be interesting.

  5. This is so stupid it’s unbelievable. So a company in South Carolina rips off a Hawaiian name for their water from 3 different sources, (none Hawaiian) pretending it’s more ecologically sustainable when it isn’t and they price it so high only a fool would buy it. Please stop Mr. Big Shot Hollywood actor, you’re literally killing us. Please go bankrupt sooner than later.

  6. I would have absolutely loved to have been on that flight and have gotten a ukulele and lesson! Music is the best mood lifter and balm for any of your troubles and for Southwest to provide that for their passengers is amazing. I’ve always appreciated the Southwest flight crews giving the extra effort with their humor and kindness, something that is harder and harder to find. On a flight to Las Vegas for a friend’s 50th, the crew made her a crown out of pretzel bags and swizzle sticks and had the entire plane sing to her. Really made her and everyone else feel good and was a great way to start our trip!
