- Welcome back to "The Ones"!
Today's video takes us onboard Hawaiian Airlines' A330 in the First Class cabin. Hawaiian Airlines uses their Flight Number 1 for their busiest route outside the islands from Los Angeles to their hub in Honolulu.
These A330s are becoming slightly older and they have plans to receive new 787s later this year, and I am excited to try that out.
Let me know your thoughts on Hawaiian Airlines

We love flying on Hawaiian airlines
Thank you for actually bringing up how annoying some of these airports are ! Lol
Nice video. Hawaiian and Hawaii are AMAZING! Ur correct, u feel the island the moment u step on board. 🌸🌺🏄🏻♂️🤙🏼🎣
Going to Hawaii for spring break. Can’t wait to go there🎉
Flying Alaska Airlines from San Diego to Honolulu 1st Class and 5 days later I am flying Hawaiian Airlines from Honolulu to Los Angeles 1st Class this October. Can’t wait!
When I lived on Kauai, I would regularly fly HA, and even their inter island flights were fantastic.
Totally agree. It’s a great service. Of course now they have to compete with Southwest on the inter-island flights
I love their 717's, and how they give you those little cups of pog juice even though it's just a short flight
They don’t have WiFi, unfortunately. But we still go w them. The music, pog, and lay-flat seats, and they’ve never given me grief about my gsd mobility service -super helpful!
That’s awesome! I do like the Hawaiian Airlines experience. Their new airplanes should have an even better product once those arrive
One problem with Hawaiian, Patrick is that they are a coastal airline. I live in New Orleans so they are not even a blip on the radar to me. I have family that lives in the bay area and they love taking Hawaiian to the islands.
Totally hear ya. I will say, they do reach Austin, Phoenix, Vegas, Boston, and New York, and I am curious if the 787 additions will allow them to reach smaller markets
British Airways has 787 service between New Orleans and London LHR. I would be thrilled if Hawaiian came to New Orleans, but it's not very likely.
I CAN'T WAIT...!!! This is exactly the airline and first class seating i'll be taking from Boston Logan to Honolulu for my 50th birthday. Looks like a nice seat set up that beef patty though wasn't very appetizing hopefully they have other choices and not just vegan. But otherwise the lie flat seats for my 12hr flight will be well worth the money. And for anyone who wants too know the cost it's about $4000 or a bit more round trip. That's without points or anything else you might have too lower the cost.
I’ve been wanting to try it on that route. Apparently they offer bedding and stuff considering the length
Good for you! Yay!!
The coffee maybe was a Kona blend so perhaps that's why you enjoyed it. ;-)
That would make sense!
Love your flight 1 idea! When will you be flying Qantas QF 1 Sydney to London?
As soon as I can afford it 😅. I am very excited for that one!
21:50 The front side of the form is "required" the back of the form asking for tourist information is not. I have never seen anyone questioned/harassed for not filing out this form.
yes, better pillow, mattress pad, comforter offered on routes longer than 7 hours 59 minutes.
Love your video and a new subscriber. However, I flew HA A-330 first class three months ago from LAX to HNL> I wasn't to please with the old look and hard to get out the window seat to go to the restroom. The service was good but could be a little better for the price. I been fly Hawaiin and United to Hawaii all the time. Rickey from Los Angeles
It is a slightly old style, but that is somewhat the market they are. I am curious if the 787s will be much newer considering United Delta and American have all begun bringing their flagships to Hawaii so they may not want to risk losing the customers
LEFT VS RIGHT seat, which one is better?
Totally depends on the day since the winds will dictate what direction they takeoff/land so you’ll see different scenery. On a typical day, the right side of the aircraft is my favorite for landing in HNL
Right side, you usually fly directly over Diamond Head.
Let us not forget that the top of the line Emirates in business on the T7 has that top of the line 2-3-2 config....Just saying. Okay, so I am on a LAS-HNL flight at least 4 times a month, the food is okay or good, never really bad, never really outstanding (looking at you UA), the seats are okay for the length of the flight, though I will be honest, I have both seats booked, either my assisant or wife joins me, if not it's a few hours of peace and quiet. The IPads are okay, until the 3rd or 4th flights of the cycle, most of the time I have my own tablet loaded with stuff to watch.
Sure wish HAL would exercise its right to offer service to GUAM .... Since Continental was absorbed by UAL the travel is "painful" and I would sooner catch PAL straight to Manila, then back fly to Guam.
UAL takes their exclusivity for granted and needs to be jolted with a real competitor like HAL.
It would be interesting to see HAL launch that route. I’m wondering how successful it would be since most pax traveling between HNL and GUM are military and UA does most of the military charters
People put their bag on the floor and make it even worse by dirty shoes on their bag? 😢
No inflight entertainment in a wide body aircraft very disappointing
Drop the "that being said!" You say it several times per video. Come up with something different. Other than that, enjoy your videos!
The price of this flight one way as of today is $910 plus taxes. Judging from how dirty, worn and dated the cabin was, HEYULL NO. I’ve had better food in a mall food court. Nevertheless, thank you for this video.
Idk, Hawaiian Airlines has always been my favorite way to get to the islands. Although the new airplanes arriving will hopefully make it better
The Only thing I hate about Hawaiian Airlines is that you have assigned seating and if you sit in a window seat and you get the middle seat, people you sit with complain about it and yea, they need to have open seating like southwest
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of open seating. I like showing up and knowing that I can sit in the exact seat I’d like. But to each is own in that sense. I know lots of people do really like the Southwest model, just not for me 🤷♂️
Nope. I hate open seating.
I picked out our seats in Extra Comfort & it was fantastic. ✅🌸Aloha
Hawaiian Air has the most dirtiest first class/business class seats I’ve ever experienced. Eewww!!! 🤢
Hmm that’s unfortunate. I haven’t had bad experiences with them before and haven’t been on any plane that was to dirty
Thanks for a wonderful tropical flight 🤩
Hawaii and Hawaiian Airlines is definitely on my "to do list"
We love HAL and rate it our second preference after Qantas.
saw the ANA A380 parked at HNL . the airport is sorta tacky mostly. the first class lounges look like they are stocked by the ABC Stores lol
There are two gates at HNL that can accommodate the A380: C4 and C9. The primary A380 gate is C4. Qantas did express interest in using an A380 to service HNL. Hence, the second A380 capable gate C9.
I live in Seattle, but I was born and raised in Hawai`i. I travel internationally for work. Because no A380's service SEA, I flew to HNL to fly to NRT on the ANA A380. It was worth the time. Besides, I was able to visit family.
Good to know! I do want to try out that ANA A380 from HNL. Maybe soon 🤞🤞
nice flight, but what a run down airport Tom Brady LA is, what a chaotic departure
The reason the head so far north before heading towards Hawaii is that an FAA office in Oakland handles communications on transoceanic flights.
I really don't think first/business class is worth the extra money. Looked kinda shabby to me.
I guess we will have to see the improvements the new first class will bring with the delivery of their 787s
Lmfao try it out then respond
Well, I'm retired (worked WAY up front in the pointy part) and although I was with the "friendly" airline, and been to Hawai'i many times, my partner has not. We have a cruise in Oct (LA Mex RT) so Hawai'i likely in 2024. I really want partner to experience Hawaiian Airlines, it's somewhat more 'local' in feeling and less likely to have dinosaur FAs. (Oops...well, that's a reality with many legacy carriers)...😊
You are wrong. Certain types of there craft offer wifi entertainment via their Hawaiian app.
Macadamia nuts are NOT a Hawaiian signature dish. They are native to and come from Australia originally.
The cleaning crew needs to pay attention to the grubby crumbs in the console. Reassuring that if you can't afford business/first class, you're not missing out on much!
The food on Hawaiian Airlines tends to be boring, bland and basic. For First Class this is deplorable.
Before the gates I purchased our own food for The Flight to Maui Burger King Double Whopper w/ Cheese & Panda Express. Orange Chicken & Chow Mein 👍😊. It was Excellent. Aloha Nui Loa 🙏🌸✈️
I lived on Oahu for a long time. Every single day I ache to return “home”
I fly Hawaiian from Portland. I avoid LAX when possible.
Hawaiian airlines is the only airline that fly directly from honolulu to Boston and it is the longest inside of the United states. (Best way to use first class is from Honolulu to Boston where you get to use the lounge and also to sleep over night on a flat bed, also the food is not bad, starting with a mai tai.)
That’s been a bucket list of mine. I may wait for the new 787s to check out the product upgrade on that route if it is ever affordable enough
Great video and voice! I have not yet seen the new Hawaiian Airlines gates. Very nice! I would like to fly Hawaiian from where I live in Seattle once they merge with Alaska Airlines. Now, Alaska goes to the old HNL gates, but they do have those open-air walk ways and the big flower gardens.
Next year Hawaiin is changing planes to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner so that will be a nice upgrade. Aug 7th i fly out to Maui with my family, not first class though. Last year we did Oahu. Mahalo.
I am very excited for the new 787s. I would love to try out that new product! Mahalo!
cant wait to try Hawaiian 787-9 with the 1-2-1 layout
Agreed!
We flew Hawaiian Air First Class about a month ago and it was worth every penny. Can’t wait for the new Hawaiian Air plane premiering 2024.
We have flight to Maui in September on The New Boeing 787 Dreamliner ✅🌸 I can’t wait. Aloha Nui Loa
I envy you. Hopefully we will be taking it when we return to visit my mother again. Have a great time and do enjoy your flight🌺🌴
@@DKN8 Aloha 😋 yes 👍 I have family on 3- different Islands. I grew up in Kailua-Kona Book a flight ✈️ early & save $$. We only fly on Hawaiian Airlines. ✅🌸. Don’t splurge on first class. Not worth it. Just upgrade to Extra Comfort & pick your own seats It’s amazing. Aloha Nui Cheers 🥂
I fly from bradley terminal every year to go to Korea it is a nice terminal especially after the renovations.
Agreed the renovations really helped Tom Bradley
It's a long walk
26:22 The building you see in the background is a Federal Prison.
Never been on Hawaiian as I live on the east coast of the US, but they don’t look too bad for a quick 5-hour flight from LAX but idk about that 11-hour Boston flight though…
Yea I do what to try that flight out. But who knows. Business class would make it easier, but it isn’t known for being the best business class
Odd that the decorators couldn’t source dark brown plastic. HA have always treated me well in either class, they’re my first choice for travel to Hawaii 😎
"Steebs wifi"is the man for the flight ✈️
great video and great music choice mate
Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it
At (17:08) it was nice to see my homeland New Zealand appear on your ref map re where Hawaiian Airlines fly's too!,awesome flight report there Patrick 10/10.,have been to LAX 3 time's on my travels.
New Zealand! I would love to visit there soon. I have never been. Thanks!
If I fly Hawaiian, I'd want to try their a321 and 717 🤞
Gotta love the 717s!
I flew on the a321 and 717. Its not horrible but it’s a little tight and same with the 717 but it’s good
Seem that it was a very good landing! I wish the plane was cleaner. The crumbs and such is yuck...
Agreed! (on both…)
The gate is another gate designed for the A380. It's the last gate in that terminal.
ANA is starting to fly duel A380's into Honolulu though not on a daily basis. I saw the first daily double in mid October. ANA has three turtle livery and I saw their orange colored one for the first time last week.
Nice video. Um, the music choice was ‘interesting’😏 It was a combo of Hawaiian, Country and somewhat 40’s / 50’s.
Cheers!
LAX, Chicago and Atlanta airports whew, I always make sure I arrive extra early when I fly out of these airports. Especially Atlanta, I arrived 2 hours early and still almost missed my flight.
Not all airports are created equal. If I were smart I’d invent different processes to quicken up the experience while keeping it safe
Doesn't the airline have a business class lounge to check in at?
Not at LAX. Their Hawaii airports all have business class lounges
I’ve flown Hawaiian to/from JFK, along with inter island, about a dozen times. By coincidence, one of my friends is an author who also happens to be an HA captain! We tried so many times to coordinate our schedules, with no luck, until our very last trip from HNL. I had my three adult kids with me, and we were guests of the captain! Here’s the landing. I said it was so smooth because I was a passenger 😁 and I’m sticking to that story! Later that day, after we all rested, I took him to the Met Opera, of all places, and we had a great time. He flew the A-330 back to HNL the next morning. ruclips.net/video/1H7HaqcOrUI/видео.htmlsi=SsqTqsgjTt8ROsbJ
Great story and video!
They need to thoroughly clean in the crevices
Can't wait we're flying on Saturday and same first Class seating from LAX.❤
Main cabin has tv's, but not business? Thats weird.
Yea. Kinda weird. My guess is the style of seats it was easier to just use iPads. That should change with the 787s arriving next year
I live in California. I'm leaving tomorrow morning for a one week vacation in Hawaii. I'm going to drive there in my new car because I'm afraid of flying.
Is your new car a boat?
YES. It has a motor. LOL@@PatrickSheaAviation
Gas gas
Excellent video. One of my viewers said to check out your channel. Subscribed👍👍
FYI the shout out to your channel came from David Cole
I appreciate the support! Thanks a bunch!
No video screen in 1st class?
Not a permanently installed one, but the iPads do have content. That should change once their new aircraft arrive in April though
Good video ,and i really like your voice 😘😘👍👍
Great review. Just checked Seattle to HNL a week from now. As low as $49 each way! Airbnb 7 nights $1200. Looks like a nice vacation!
Totally! You can steal some banger deals to Hawaii in the right times
that pop up screen between seats has as an oddly satisfying design, the frosted glass effect is perfect for privacy, cabin seating is like 'retro chic' despite showing some age, the Hawaiian music on this is killer lol
I do like their little design on the privacy partition! I personally feel like the cabin is perfect for what it’s purpose is, although their new planes are arriving soon with the new interiors
I really enjoyed this video Patrick! I hope you enjoyed your visit here to my home, Hawaii!!! Aloha bro!!!🤙🏽
Mahalo brudda!
Great review. Those seats were FILTHY; crumbs everywhere. Shocking for First Class.
Definitely an older looking seat. Gotta remember also that domestic first class in the US is really just business class. They just market it differently. Still no excuse for a dirty seat
Just got upgraded to first class for my Hawaiian airline trip this weekend. Thanks for the preview.
Sweet! That’ll be awesome! Hopefully it won’t be too smoky
Yes, I would fly HA as I have in the past. We have loved our flights on Hawaiian Airlines. TY!
That’s awesome! Hawaiian is a great way to start an island vacation
👍👍👍🤝🏽🤝🏽🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
They do use the heavier amenity set (mattress cover, thicker/bigger blanket and bigger pillow) on the JFK/BOS routes
That’s good to know. Their BOS flight is on my list. Maybe when the new 787s get here
Ummm. That's a beef patty?
The brown thing on the left is a portabella mushroom, the grayish thing on the right is a sausage patty.
The menu list pork patty
We are flying Hawaiian in a few weeks
Looking forward to the experience
Awesome! Safe travels!
Since Hawaiian Airlines is now in Terminal B (international) did you need your passport or an ID is just fine? Also do you go through customs or just TSA? Would appreciate your response, thank you!
They do use the international terminals at both LAX and SFO, but the process is the same as any other domestic flight. You only need your Real ID and there’s only the normal TSA
Did they have clear available there
On this flight in 28 days! Thanks for the review. Looks like it will be great!
Enjoy your flight!
At 10:44 in your video,is that food crumbs i see?🤔
You got a good eye! Yes it is
Hawaiian Airlines cut corners on their systems delaying thousands, in some cases for over 48 hours. Their employees were rude, dishonest, and incompetent, and did not make timely updates and provide vouchers except for a joke $15 food voucher you had to wait an hour in line for. The gate agents promised at least $500 in compensation per day per person which Hawaiian Airlines has not delivered. 2 months after this incident, I have not been compensated for thousands in food, hotel, and taxi costs after having to FAX a letter and receipts to them. They have had several similar incidents like this in 2023 from Hawaii to CA to NY to Florida. Avoid this airline! Time for a class action lawsuit!
would you sit in Row 1, 2, or 3?
I actually found the seats to be the same throughout. The main difference: it’s easier to get past the person in the aisle seat in row 1
We sat in row 3 going and 1 returning. Definitely 3 as it’s not so close to the action. Although we were first to exit.
If I'm paying for 1st Class, I don't want to sit with a stranger next to me. If I'm traveling with my spouse, I want to have the double pod. This is chintzy.
Yea that’s definitely the trend these days, but Hawaiian Airlines just isn’t quite the luxury carrier that offer those seats. Just a different kind of brand. Although I agree the industry is moving away from a 2-2-2 setup for the better
As much as I like HAL, their A330’s is starting to show its age. They’ve recently unveiled their 787’s and I can’t wait to get on one of those.
As for someone who lives on Oahu, Daniel K Inouye/Honolulu International Airport needs to get completely torn down and have a modernized airport be built.
Those 787s will be special! Maybe the start to a new Hawaiian Airlines product all around from airport to airplane
When the A330s go I will stop flying with HAL. There is NO way I will sit with a third party, even though SYD to HNL isn't much over 9 hours. The 2:4:2 configuration is great but 3:3:3 is the pits. I have only done it once - from Minneapolis to Calgary - never again.
@@SusanMadge-vl9gx good luck with that 🤙🏽.
Listen, I love TBIT and I hope that when it's all said and done, LAX really is at the top where I think it can and ought to be. Having mentioned that, TBIT is just so bloody gorgeous and a delight to experience. Top vid, well done!
Wow, Sean. This video made Hawaiian Airlines look singularly awful compared to what else is out there flying this route. Thanks for letting us know what not to fly.
Hawaiian is the best flying to Islands....period.
It does depend on what you’re looking for. They aren’t close to the seat quality of United Polaris or Delta One, but it does start your island vacation vibes a bit earlier!
HAL is the ONLY American Airline we would fly with!
@@Bearcat06 It certainly is!
SO much talking and I found it extremely annoying
We will be flying with them for the first time this Friday out of Austin. So excited! TY for posting! 🎉
That’s awesome! Enjoy!
