unexpected $120 charge to sit next to my wife on an isle seat in the economy section. Looks like there pre-assigning us both on the middle seat was intentional - leaving the isle seat next to my wife open at $120 was a ploy to make more money. Not good business.

Flight delayed. Then left much later than new time. 88 year old dad waiting at Kona airport for ages.

Hawaiian was amazing. no more bookinks with third party companies (Kayak)

The flight from HON to Hilo caused a few problems, but we were helped by the checking agent at Hawaiian Airlines with tech assistance. My wife & I are in our 70's and not QR code savvy. But we are learning.

TV monitor is not working properly. Long flight needs some entertainment but it didn't work. Food snack should be healrhier compare to what we have given.

I loved the clean plane, complimentary sandwich, chocolates and drink choices. I loved how far the economy seats recline. I love the free starlink wifi.

I liked the ease of boarding. Didn't like the food. Snack choices were poor, expensive and not much food provided within the snack packs. Crew could be friendlier for a more Aloha experience.

When I scheduled using Kayak I couldn’t I couldn’t select my own seats and the seats I got were undesirable. I’ll choose to schedule with the carrier directly in the future if I choose Hawaii Air in the future. The Staff was excellent under the circumstances.

A330-200 is very comfortable - lavatory roomier then Narrow Body jets.

The flight crew did what they could to make things as comfortable as possible.
