Flights from Vancouver to Honolulu: the best tips from KAYAK users' own experiences

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Vancouver to Honolulu 
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Jun 2024
If you are seated in the rearmost seats of the aircraft, overhead baggage compartments may already be occupied with first-aid kits, "emergency snacks for tarmac waits," etc. Contact flight attendants immediately to see if they can help you find alternative places, especially if the flight is full.
Verified travelerFlew with Lufthansa-May 2024
Baggage policies encourage too much carry-on, making boarding stressful. Anticipate in advance, pack appropriately. Label your carry-ons well so if you decide to check them, they're ready to go. Sometimes the airline will announce that there are too many carry-ons and will offer to check bags from volunteers for free clear through to your destination.
