No complimentary snacks or food. Had to buy drinks and food.

in-flight wifi was not working well. also the cabin temperature was a bit hot.

I wasn’t able to check in prior to arriving at the airport, I was told by the agent I may not get a seat on the plane as others were waiting for seats, I sat there for 2 hours before being assigned a seat, very stressful. The plane was delayed. Overall not a great travel experience for a 44 minute flight.

Larger seats and more room would elevate the experience. Otherwise, it was good!

Check in went pretty well and you didn't lose my bag. After I got a drink from the drink cart they charged me for it, and at the crazy overpriced airport rates. Never had that happen before, is that an american thing? what madness.

I was delayed several times. Missed a very important event. The airline only provided a $12 voucher after being delayed 3 times.

One the nicest and great air crews I’ve experienced and I’ve flown a lot

Staff at Gate desk were helpful. My connecting flight from the first part of my trip Kona to Seattle was late. I had to run through SeaTac Seattle to catch my flight to San Jose. They made an exception to let me board. On my return trip San Jose to San Diego and San Diego to Honolulu the same thing happened. One flight arrived late and I had to run through the terminal to catch my connection. There are no Gluten-free & Vegan options meals and snacks to purchase.

Short flight was fine, but no entertainment and bathrooms broken.

Flight not being cancelled would have been nice! If the pilot calls out sick it would make sense to have a couple of back ups
