Deboarding the plane was chaos. The passengers in the back of the plane started deplaning before the passengers in the middle of the plane could even retrieve their overhead bags. The staff of the plane did nothing to help.

Deboarding the plane was chaos. The passengers in the back of the plane started deplaning before the passengers in the middle of the plane could even retrieve their overhead bags. The staff of the plane did nothing to help.

Enforce the one bag rule for carry ons. Don't allow people to have 2 and 3 carry ons. Make baggage gets loaded onto the correct plane. My bag didn't get put onto my last flight so I didn't get it until the next day.

onboard snack was pretzels, but the FA was super nice when my neighbor asked for cookies instead and also brought some for me. :)

On time. .breakfast was especially good. First class service was special

Had to buy a snack box as I am gluten free. They should be free in extra comfort. Food they provided was awful. Not enough water stops.

Tight hot cramped seating. Gate change plus a board and de plane request with two hour delay

We treated ourselves to first class and were underwhelmed by the experience. No screen for entertainment. Food was not great...only one or two options, small portions, dry. We won't waste our money upgrading again. Good news was we made it to PDX safe and sound. Crew was attentive.

The flight would have been very good , if not dor the constantly screaming baby in the row behind me. Is there a way to isolate people traveling with infants? This is not the first time this has happened to me.

it was good except the too big men in my personal space.

We were on the ground for over 2hrs Flt scheduled to leave at 5:40pm, actual departure was at 9:00pm. Around 8:00pm we were offered an option to deplane,some did while others stayed.

Flight delayed two hours , missed connection flight then connection cancelled- horrible experience with hotel

Omg the disaster at the security was on another level! “Go to this end, sorry closed now, go to that end”. Ridiculous! This took over an hour! As far as the airline was concerned although I booked nearly a year ago I couldn’t get my bag tag - stand in another 15 minute line or my seat on Hawaiian Airlines- 5 more minutes! Then my TSA status was denied. Like what the heck! Makes a person not want to travel with this amount of incompetence

The Honolulu Hub needs 2 to 3 times the amount of things to do as well as shuttles that transport to/from gates and terminals. Arriving from OCONUS locations; transferring to CONUS locations its a miserable experience. Fetching and re-checking bags, then returning to a gate across the airport take longer than any other large airport. If youre confused by what I mean, the process goes like this: Disembark plane Walk a mile to the main terminal Walk half a mile to baggage claim Wait 40 minutes for baggage Walk a mile to re-check-in baggage Wait 20 minutes for checking in those bags Fo back through the wrong TSA line because the signage is poor Almost miss the connecting flight because your gate is across the airport.

The checking was disaster, the crew wasn't behave well. It took us two hours to check in, after that thr line at the TSA was long, we barely make the flight. Bad airline

Fabulous if you have a portable wheelchair. They can store it in the galley and you can just walk out with it. Really nice and the flat seats are just incredible, very nice. iPads for movies, also pretty nice,

The crew were exceptionally nice and accommodating. My wife was tired after the flight from Haneda, Tokyo. They let her sleep and served her dinner later after she woke up, before we landed in PDX.

No charging outlets worked. Other than collecting trash attendants didn’t come around. No one could hear flight attendants announcements during the flight. Seat pads were horrible. Sitting on a board for 5 hours. What happened to Hawaiian airlines comfort, hospitality, and extras? Our pilots did an excellent job trying to minimize turbulence and incredible job in landing in windy conditions.

I like that if they asked you to checked in a bag at the gate they give you priority to board

Horrible food and crew. Crew were laughing and talking loud while people were trying to sleep

Yall need to integrate your system with Alaska more efficiently. They booted me off the first flight because of a discrepancy on your end.
