Wish I had known there was a shuttle bus all the way home becaues the trains were jam packed with no chance of sitting or even moving to a place to hang on.
RoyFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesKOA-HNLFeb 2025
Would never have booked Hawaiian if we’d known Hon-Auck only flew twice a week. If you must, get to Hon the day before a flight elsewhere.
JanaFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesKOA-HNLOct 2024
Ask to get off before insecticide is sprayed. Take warm clothes.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian AirlinesKOA-HNLMar 2024
If you have a person in your party with a temporary ID (i.e. they were just issued one by DMV or their permanent ID has not arrived yet) be sure to bring additional identification materials. In our case an insurance card with their name on it was sufficient.

Only issue was the 2 hr delay after an 8 hr layover. Very long day.

Only issue was the 2 hr delay after an 8 hr layover. Very long day.

Very bad, terrible food and late by 2 hours. Then no to open aircraft doors

Flying on Hawaiian Airlines was good. But, getting a boarding pass was a hassle. I booked what I thought was an Alaska Airlines flight that was actually a Hawaiian Airlines flight. I couldn't check in online. I had to wait for the Hawaiian Airlines counter to open so I could get my boarding pass which was a requirement for me to get in The Club or the Centurion Lounge. (I had no check in luggage so I didn't expect to have to physically check in.) The Alaska Airlines staff blamed the FAA for the problem.

Horrible! No blanket or pillow available! We had bulkhead seats but the seats were worn out and no cushion old. No meal or even a sandwich for our 5 hour flight just a little bag of pretzels. Crabby attendant female with long brown hair. We will not book Alaska Airlines again

Terrible check in experience, and they ended up losing our bag.

they didn't fix a plane and we were delayed travelling an extra 12 hours.

This flight was how a flight should be. The flight from Hawaii to Seattle was terrible

Our big luggage never made it to Boston. Very crucial to get it ASAP as heart medication is in there.

Wish I got An email stating that I needed to check in at hawaiian even if I made my ticket thru alaska. I had to walk to terminal A from Terminal B.

While it was delayed, once we were in the air, it was smooth. The flight attendents and pilot were friendly and did their best to accommodate us.

Delayed flight. Nicest crew member was a SW pilot flying seated next to me who kindly move to seat the final passenger. Flight extra delayed. My cup of refreshment of ginger ale was so packed with ice it was literally 2 sips.

For my birthday trip this was my second time ever flying, this trip was the best.

after landing, we stay 2 hours on the taxi way before reaching the gate The airline and the crew were good though

No trays in our seats, we sat in first row, purchased a business class fare. Had to hold our drinks and snack in our hands. No plugs for our cell phones. Had to pay for it a drink cocktail each. Seats so uncomfortable.

Flight wasn’t even full, but too many carry-ons caused us to run out of bin space. New bag fee has folks who would usually check their bags carrying on. Watching Southwest morph into Spirit/Frontier is so sad to watch

Sat on tarmac for 2 hours and then missed my connecting flight

First time traveling on Southwest since bag fees were implemented. Usual good service. Just more expensive now.

Everything was on time. I was disappointed by the front section female, African American flight attendant. I did not see her name tag or would have identified by name not race. As passengers moved to the bathroom early in flight, she would say with a disdainful tone “I have to say the seat belt light is on” then go back to her book. Better trained flight attendants say something like be careful the seat belt light is on.

Cluster mess boarding. Can't wait for SWA reserved seating. Internet didn't seem to work on the plane.

Flights delayed by 4-6 hours. Boarding was a mess and unclear. Bags were not at arrival airport and had never even been put on the plane. No idea when I’ll get them. Don’t fly into Denver!

Half of my family members didn’t make it because they involuntary bumped off . And their seats where given away

Hawaiian Airlines staff is always professional & quick & easy check in & boarding process

Bar code for checking luggage and boarding pass didn't work. Had to stand in long customer service line. Passengers at Oahu should be aware the Terminal for Hawaiian Air requires travel by shuttle. Budget an extra 20-30 minutes to get from the main terminal to the remote terminal.

Checking baggage at Honolulu was a real mess. No signs directing where to go.

They cancelled our flight and one after and then crammed everyone on a late flight. Refused to give us a meal voucher because the delay was less than 3 hours. In the end the delay was 4 hours. No reason was ever given for the cancelled flights. Fly Southwest!

There was mention of a complimentary magazine but none were in the seat pockets. The flight is short so understandable not having food or a snack.

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

This is my first time flying Hawaiian. It was so disorganized and poorly coordinated, resulting in the most unacceptable delay

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.

Boarding was a nightmare. Almost everyone was on group 4 and there was no line people crowded the check in and made things more chaotic than they needed to be.

We had a wonderful flight due to the care of our experienced pilot and copilot and the magnificent air views from our comfortable seats. What excitement to be in such a small plane with such magnificent around us.

Multiple time changes, then we left earlier than we were told.

Communication could be better but the staff and crew were over the top friendly and helpful, The flight itself was smooth.

flight was cancelled literally at 10pm the night before an early morning flight with hardly any time to reschedule. Will never book with kayak again.

My flight was cancelled 12 hours before takeoff. I was not able to reschedule another flight to make connections and had to cancel the entire trip. The ticket that was supposed to replace the cancelled flight had no boarding pass and I was unable to get one at the airport so I was denied access to the rescheduled flight. I was refunded but I missed my daughter's birthday.

I had a family emergency and couldn’t make the flight, and they wouldn’t let me cancel/refund it (a *month* ahead of time), were especially difficult with me on the phone, and wouldn’t let me even so much as reschedule the flight or get credit.

Flight was cancelled, communication was poor and should have canceled flight much earlier.

Flight was cancelled twice. Moved four more times. Probably the least timely and poorly run airline I have ever experienced in my life. I have traveled hundreds of times to dozens of countries and this one takes the cake.

Excellent crew, good flight. Flight was delayed about 1 1/2 hours though.

Pros: "The ground crew and flight crew were great."
Cons: "Would have appreciated easier steps (lower risers) for boarding. Arthritic knee makes it hard for me to manage the high risers between steps. Also having armrests would have made the flight more comfortable."
