One of my old friends is a captain for Hawaiian. I’ve flown there with my adult children four times and, despite trying, my friend and I weren’t able to coordinate our schedules. But we finally did - on the eighth try - and he flew us from Honolulu to New York. We were “guests of the captain,” so we got a few perks. And his landing was incredibly smooth. Later that same day, I took him to a concert at Lincoln Center. Hawaiian really is a unique airline.
Hawaiian Airlines is imo the best domestic airline. They have the best service, nice planes, and the only remaining domestic full service airline serving a meal and complementary alcohol. It's rare to see that here in America. Cant wait to fly on their 787-9 next year
Hawaiian holds a special place in my heart. Every pilot literally sounds uncomfortable with giving speeches and the staff are super casual. Every single flight I’ve been on, there’s been a flight attendant that literally hooks me up with 2 drinks if I can’t decide what I want. I even got an extra wine on one flight cuz the guy said I looked like I enjoyed it. Good lord this is such a good airlines.
Having been born and raised in Hilo, I always flew Hawaiian on interisland flights. Now living in Bellevue for 30 years, HA is our carrier of choice when we visit the islands. It is wonderful to experience meal service in economy on Hawai`i - U.S. flights and trans Pacific flights, in addition to complimentary juice on interisland flights.
Being a kid who grew up in the islands in the 2000s, I always liked flying Hawaiian because of their brand new 717s (though I did occasionally enjoy the engine view seat on Aloha's 737-200s)...their product isn't necessarily at the quality of airlines in alliances (especially on ground), but I do feel at home whenever I fly on their transpacific routes. Not to mention their impeccable safety record (for fatalities) since their founding.
I live in Honolulu so it’s always so nice to see people come here and review flights that I’ve taken too! Hawaiian is such a great airline! They really represent the aloha spirit well!
I flew on a Hawaiian A330 from LAX to Honolulu and back in 2018. I have to say it was absolutely incredible and very cool to fly on as it was my first Airbus widebody experience. Thanks for this video, Alex!
@AlexPraglowskiAviation I must agree on the HAL idea of Hawaiian Hospitality and how good it is, also with the fact that the breezeways (as they are called) are quite amazing especially compared to the US Northeast corridor...
Rows 11/12 are probably the best economy seats on HA A330s. A mini-cabin that de-boards right after business class, the restroom/galley is also located behind making for a less distracting flight.
Hi Alex, nice video! If you ever have the chance, could you please one day do a trip report on the Ottawa-Paris route? I can supply you with a video of your plane taking off if you would like!
Glad to see this Alex, we are are driving from New Brunswick to Boston and flying Hawaiian in March (BOS-HNL-SYD) and chose them over UA for two reasons. The first was the 2-4-2 of the A330 and the second was both legs are +/- 12hrs as opposed to having one of the legs 20hrs +. Currently booked in Main Cabin and mulling moving to Extra Comfort but they want $200USD per leg and I am not sure it is worth the extra. Neither of us are taller the 5' 10".
On the Airbus 330/340s series my favourite seats are at the back where the fuselage slims down towards the tail, and the 2-4-2 turns into 2-3-2, with the aisle getting wide and roomy. I am 5‘10‘‘ and I am sitting very comfortable there. The only downside to be considered is that you’re gonna be last at immigration.
I must say the A330's 2-4-2 layout is superior to the 787's 3-3-3. I once flew with Thomas Cook Airlines on a A330 and had a row near the front next to one of the right side doors, I had extra leg room and was able to get up and walk straight ahead because of a gap they have between the next row of seats in front of the door that had room to the right side for door access I believe. It was awesome. I could stretch my legs, but I'm not tall, but it was nice. I don't know if any other airlines with A330's did this. Thomas Cook Airlines of course has since gone belly up. I took a Norwegian 787 (before they pulled out of transatlantic route) on the way back to LAX and that was packed in with the 3-3-3 layout, I hated it. The seats were more narrow and not nearly the legroom. I also felt like I had less arm room on the window side than I did on the A330. The gap of the armrest against the wall seemed a lot closer, and of course the armrest was rather narrow already. If I have a choice, I'm taking the A330 for it's 2-4-2 layout.
Thank you for sharing your take off. I always tell friends and family to sit in the A&B left side of an aircraft for departure!! Yes, you get to see paradise as you leave!! And yes, you do first miss being there and then this makes you want to come back!!! Great views of the hotels and the beaches there with great memories!!@
I can see a 787-8 order eventually to replace their A330-200's. Their 787-9's will have a boost in capacity once delivered, the -8 being good for those lower density routes. I do not see why they have not gotten to Canada yet.
Probably just their Business Strategy. They have a focus on Asia and less dense US Cities, removing LAX and JFK, they most fly to more medium size cities. I suppose they just do not want to compete to flagship airlines and focus more on the leisure traveler instead of business one. Since canada have most of its airports dominates by the flagship carriers I suppose they just do not see a reason to compete. This for me would make the most sense on how they operate.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I get more and more jealous of what you’re able to do! Your videos are always engaging and filled with great audio and visuals! Thanks for showing us all these amazing things, Alex!
2:14 - 2:17 Reminds me of in the 2000s I'd fly from NY to California a fair number of times on American - and on the return flight, usually the 1 PM flight back to JFK, I'd be at the airport in time to see a Qantas 747 parked with its nose REALLY close to the terminal - an amazing sight regardless of carrier or airport!
Be sure to fly back through PDX in a couple years after we finish the terminal renovations. We’ve already been the greatest airport in the country, and we’re only getting better ;) lol too bad we’re out of the way for most of the country
I'll be flying on this very jet and airline this October. For my 2 week 50th birthday trip to Honolulu. I'm going first class non stop from Boston Logan to Honolulu. Hopefully my 11hr journey will be well worth the money i paid for the ticket. However, i bet Hawaiian is regretting that 787 purchase now. Especially with all the issues Boeing has been going through as of late. I would have gone with the A350-900 or A330-NEO. Maybe it won't be to late for them to cancel their order or change a few to Airbus instead.
I don't want to be that guy, but isn't the seat a bit dirty? I have Hawaian in high regards but that seat in particular didn't look very clean. Anyway, great video as usual Alex!
The open terminal is very cool. During the day. On the first of three business trips to Sydney, AUS (where the software vendor was located), I decided to save my client (city and country of Honolulu) $1100 on Qantas, connecting through Honolulu to Sydney. Business class direct was $6200, but only $5100 when connecting. The only problem was that the flight from L.A. landed at 10:30 pm and didn't depart until 1:00am. We had to deplane and spend two hours in that open terminal because EVERYTHING in the airport was closed. It was hot and humid and pretty darn miserable. And then Qantas decided that the meal service at 2:00am local should be bangers and mash. I highly recommend NEVER eating bangers and mash at 2:00am. When we finally got to Sydney, it was fogged in and we had to divert to Cairn, where we sat on the ground for 2 hours. So much for saving the client $1100. The next two trips, I flew direct and paid the extra.
Great video. I have flown Hawaiian many times on interisland flights, but it was years and years ago. I think Vancouver was a route they flew at one time, but I think it was in the 90's.
**Liked and Subscribed** I am going to Hawaii in 37 more days and many hours from Los Angeles International Airport the day after my birthday; January 9th! I'm excited!! Seeing this made me even more excited! I'm also gonna bring my mom here for her birthday in January 2025 however from John F. Kennedy International Airport! I know she'll love it considering it'll be her first flight! Thank you for sharing your experience and the strong referral. I'm totes ready for this!
Bahamas Lynden Pindling airport of their capital for domestic flights uses open gallery on the ground with wooden roofs for boarding. It is name like Domestic terminal A. And it is cool!
At the cost of weight and efficiency's ( just as the 777-8) That why it haven't been able to sell better that the 787 (the -8 for example) or it bigger model.
The a350-800 was actually the main look on the past, but at it never happens. They changed to 330-800, nonetheless because if kt popularity, they changed it to the 787 but also other things in mind. The 787-9 is really the a350-800 in in the work, and it have range, performance, while having efficiency and less weight (something the 330-800 lacks). At the end, the best option that suits them was the 787-9. Can't wait to fly in tjem though!
Great content again, Alex. Hawaiian certainly seems like an interesting airline to try. Do you think they’ll keep their A330s around for a bit after they receive their Dreamliners? I personally think they will as the A330 you flew on was only 6 years old.
I’m planning a trip to Hawaii (first time) and thinking of going with hawaiian airlines instead of delta this time. really like your video, thanks for the info. It’s from salt lake city and it’s like a 7 hour flight. my longest flight to date, any concerns I should have?
Btw, the open-air terminal is soul-lifting……when the weather is nice. On one of my Hawaiian journeys, it rained all day, and the airport felt like a sodden, humid mess. This was the takeoff - my good friend was the captain. When I later asked about the rainstorm, he laughed and said, “well, how do you think we wash our planes?!” ruclips.net/video/VwyCfHbvBks/видео.htmlsi=qsu2138N2NwrmLK8
Their so-called 2-2-2 first class is very dated compared with most longhaul business class products these days. It is much better on their soon to arrive 787s with 1-2-1 in separate cubicles and direct aisle access for all passengers. It looks about the same as AC's current business class product on their 787, A330 and 777 fleets.
THAT was your meal? 🤦🏻♂️ Once upon a time HA had really good food and you didn’t have to pay for it. Last time I flew with them they were just beginning to phase out the 767 for the 330 and by that time they were going downhill in quality of food and legroom. I really used to like them.
@@janellek21Max 7 makes no sense considering they are an a320 operator, and now with Southwest competition they are going to opt for smaller and more frequencies. A220 or Embraer E2-190. I personally believe Embraer is going to fit their needs best.
@@schalitz1 The A220-300 would make the most sense. The 320NEO is a bit too large for inter-island flights, and the E190E2's narrow fuselage limits cargo capacity (inter-island flights are vital for shipping cargo between islands as state environmental laws limit sea traffic between islands).
@@janellek21I would say CRJ would probably be the most adequate. The A220's engines aren't meant for fast-paced start/stop like the MD-80/MD-90/717, unlike the CRJ.
Always flew in their A330’s when going to the west coast of the US but it’s clearly showing its age. Looking forward to the 787’s. SFO supposedly will be their first destination with the 787’s.
@@IBo99608 probably the dumbest comment ever, your Haole is showing. come visit Oahu, and come to the west side of the island and we’ll show you the hospitality on this side of the island.
That's an extortionate amount to pay to pre-book a seat! Yikes! I hope at check-in, all those fees are waived or at least heavily discounted, so Hawaiian can ensure healthy load factors. Asiana Airlines of Korea has similar extra legroom seats on their A350 that they charge I think 65 USD to pre-book. They don't waive the upgrade fee at check-in and when I flew with them, that section was almost empty, with rest of economy full. I'm sure they lose a lot more when the seat is empty, so this pre-selection fees should be waived at check-in in an ideal world. Also, I've been on 787s many times and never had issues with the seat width and I'm a reasonably large guy. That said, any configuration with just 2 seats on the window side is always nice to have.
One of my old friends is a captain for Hawaiian. I’ve flown there with my adult children four times and, despite trying, my friend and I weren’t able to coordinate our schedules. But we finally did - on the eighth try - and he flew us from Honolulu to New York. We were “guests of the captain,” so we got a few perks. And his landing was incredibly smooth.

Loving this "Japanese Excursion" as it seems! Loved all the videos on this adventure, especially the Westjet and ANA A380! Keep it up!
Interesting hearing about how Hawaiian tried to get A350s, then A330neos, and then just went with 787-9s in the end!

It's strange as they have been coming to Sydney for quite a while now and Qantas flies to Honolulu as well.
Because getting international licenses and approval is a whole other deal
What a pretty view ! I'm sure the pilot enjoyed just as much as you ! Thank you for uploading it always feels good to hear about my Home, Hawaii !!!!
I see The 330s from Hawaiian take off daily from San Diego. I read somewhere that they reputation for safety is pretty high
Yep. Never had a fatal accident and airframe loss in their 90+ years of history. Very impressive
What a hidden gem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Frequently fly between Boston and Honolulu. Hawaiian is by far the best US airline. The experience is actually pleasant.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I get more and more jealous of what you’re able to do! Your videos are always engaging and filled with great audio and visuals! Thanks for showing us all these amazing things, Alex!
I’d definitely prefer the A330 for 6+ hour long flights between mainland and Hawaii. A proper widebody that the A321neo just can’t match
2:14 - 2:17 Reminds me of in the 2000s I'd fly from NY to California a fair number of times on American - and on the return flight, usually the 1 PM flight back to JFK, I'd be at the airport in time to see a Qantas 747 parked with its nose REALLY close to the terminal - an amazing sight regardless of carrier or airport!

That terminal is brand new and well maintained by the state, so it is quite nice
Thanks for making this video, I was just looking at those seats for our upcoming flight and was wondering what they looked like.
I have flown on the 717, 767 back in 2015 and the A330 up to 2017 mainly in the USA
Fantastic video and outstanding quality, thoroughly enjoyed it
Thats a sweet plane. Handles well and I really like flying it. Flown it 2x.
Just did HND-HNL this past SEP on HA in business class. The hard product was underwhelming and dated for sure, but the cabin crew was great.

The Trent 700 never disappoints.
From the whale noises to the buzzsaw.
Well, the A330-800 does actually provides better range than the 787 or A350-900...
At the cost of weight and efficiency's ( just as the 777-8) That why it haven't been able to sell better that the 787 (the -8 for example) or it bigger model.
Why no comments about soiled and worn areas of the aircraft? Old aircraft are OK if properly maintained. This one isn't one of them.
I was thinking the same thing
Best airline in USA hands down!
You truly are an avgeek! I have enjoyed every one of your videos on your Japan vacation.
Wow a300-200 well I wish we had something like this here in Canada but you have to be in a Honolulu or elsewhere in Hawaii to have open air terminals
got to love the A330
This was amazing to watch! Thanks for posting these awesome travel videos.

WOW that's so cool I haven't yet flown on a A330 yet!
I believe N361HA was the first aircraft to wear Hawaiian’s latest livery. Not sure though.
5:19 You know the vibes of this Trent 700s on T/O 🔥🔥🔥.
And one more thing there super rare at Sacramento International and they fly A330’s four times per day.
Love the sounds of the RR engines 😍
I saw Alex Pragaloski aviation on the hawaiian flight and I saw him in Portland wow
Yay Portland my city, I was hoping for this!!!! ❤️
That's one of the dirtiest interiors I've seen in years. Great video, Alex!
Flying Hawaiian this upcoming May!!!
Pity they stopped LAX to Honolulu service. Two aisles make a big difference.
Great content again, Alex. Hawaiian certainly seems like an interesting airline to try. Do you think they’ll keep their A330s around for a bit after they receive their Dreamliners? I personally think they will as the A330 you flew on was only 6 years old.
The 787s are an addition to the fleet, not replacements for the A330 in the general sense.
I was wondering if I was at work when you filmed this? I work for Alaska at PDX
The sound of those Rolls Royce engines would have been enough for me….😁😁😁
Plus Wide bodies have way more needed bathrooms
I’m planning a trip to Hawaii (first time) and thinking of going with hawaiian airlines instead of delta this time. really like your video, thanks for the info. It’s from salt lake city and it’s like a 7 hour flight. my longest flight to date, any concerns I should have?
1:53 look how huge the A380 is compared to the 717
Will Hawaiian be getting the new business class on their a330’s like the 787?
I have those same seats Should I change them ? Mahalo Nui 😋✅🌸 Aloha
I been on a Hawaiian 767-300 when I was like 2
Ima beg my parents to let me spend my *own money* to take a solo trip here just to go on Hawaiian airlines and to see the rare plane😂
Good video👍Can you fly turkish airlines next long haul please

So I guess there is no WiFi on these flight as well as no Power outlets in the Main Cabin? what about USB ports?
Was WiFi provided on the A330? I’m flying to Boston on one in April. How can I find out if WiFi will be provided?
wonderful flight review.
5:20 What causes that higher pitched noise that goes away quickly?
That’s just normal engine howls as the RPMs increase to take-off power.
Their so-called 2-2-2 first class is very dated compared with most longhaul business class products these days. It is much better on their soon to arrive 787s with 1-2-1 in separate cubicles and direct aisle access for all passengers. It looks about the same as AC's current business class product on their 787, A330 and 777 fleets.
Very nice. What a plane for sure!
THAT was your meal? 🤦🏻♂️ Once upon a time HA had really good food and you didn’t have to pay for it. Last time I flew with them they were just beginning to phase out the 767 for the 330 and by that time they were going downhill in quality of food and legroom. I really used to like them.
Hard landing by A330?
ahhh yes pdx my home city! airport
Thanks!

Nice to see the curvature of the earth out the window

That's an extortionate amount to pay to pre-book a seat! Yikes! I hope at check-in, all those fees are waived or at least heavily discounted, so Hawaiian can ensure healthy load factors. Asiana Airlines of Korea has similar extra legroom seats on their A350 that they charge I think 65 USD to pre-book. They don't waive the upgrade fee at check-in and when I flew with them, that section was almost empty, with rest of economy full. I'm sure they lose a lot more when the seat is empty, so this pre-selection fees should be waived at check-in in an ideal world. Also, I've been on 787s many times and never had issues with the seat width and I'm a reasonably large guy. That said, any configuration with just 2 seats on the window side is always nice to have.
wow that poor plane looks very grimy 🤢

PrimeAir (flown by another American carrier) also flies cargo A330s, but they’re not passenger. Not just Hawaiian and Delta
Prime air 330 is actually contracted with hawaiian. Hawaiian is responsible for flight and tech ops
Which I mean I was on teh same flight as him
Economy seats are small. I don’t like the Hawaiian A330. I’m gonna stick to flying with Delta’s 767.
not butter landing lol great vid
You guys you guys
They really need to clean them planes 8:07 🤢. But I was born in Kailua, in ‘82 and will be going back in the Spring of 2025
Hawaiian goes to San Diego
12:40 Omg, that was a terrible landing you had there. Your plane bounced 3 times on landing in the video, why?....hahaha 😂😂😂😊
Those seats look ugly, worn and dirty! Would need to be reupholstered.
