    Traveling to Hawaii can range from a somewhat easy 5-hour flight from the West Coast to a brutally long 10-hour flight from the East Coast. This can mean traveling to Hawaii from the East Coast can take more time than visiting Europe. If you are stuck in economy that can be awful. Luckily there is a points bookable First Class product that can make the journey rather easy. Today I will show you everything you need to know about Hawaiian Airlines First Class (also called Business class on international flights).

    Thanks for the video. Glad you enjoyed your carbonated water 😄 You missed the Plumeria Lounge on the second floor. They have hot food (nothing great but more than biscuits) and a separate area for first class passengers so you don't have to mix with the common folk 😛

      He didn’t have access to plumeria lounge, only for Boston, NY and international first class flights, west coast flights don’t get access

    My only criticism on the seating is that I felt like I had nowhere within arms reach to put my items. There's a tiny net on the armrest to your side which is helpful, but also dangerous because if something falls out it's going to fall in the crack between the seat and the armrest and will be impossible to find. There's another small net by the footrest, and I have no idea what the purpose of that one is. I found myself fumbling around trying to find a place for my phone, chargers, etc and often just ended up putting it on the middle section.

    Did you find the temperature in the FC cabin comfortable? I’m worried about not having air vents.

  • @greggraham3534
    @greggraham3534 4 місяці тому +1

    I'm confused. You state this is a review of HA first class but show a seating plan for where you're sitting that is listed as business class on the plan. If that isn't confusing enough, a recent review in a local Australian newspaper of a flight from Sydney to Hawaii on HA A330 states it's a review of their business class, but all the HA seating plans I googled have this same plan listed as first class. Does that mean HA use the terms first and business interchangeably?

    • @JWB671
      @JWB671 4 місяці тому

      I think all the HA a330 planes are 1. First/Business, 2. Premium economy, 3. Economy.

    • @greggraham3534
      @greggraham3534 4 місяці тому

      OK, so it's a class that is called both business and first. Makes no sense. @@JWB671

      Many airlines used business and first class interchangeably. That is changing now. Used to be synonymous. But, some airlines flying internationally had four clases of service on 777-300ER aircraft for example: first class (a couple of rows way up front), business class, premium economy, and coach/economy.

    You were in the wrong club, you were supposed to be in The Plumeria Lounge.

    • @nycchislc
      @nycchislc 3 місяці тому

      If you don't have Priority Pass, then you can only get access to Plumeria if you're flying international business or first class to JFK/BOS. Because it's also a Priority Pass lounge, it is constantly packed with families, which is annoying. But yes it's still significantly better than the incredibly sad Premier Lounge.

    I’m flying business class in a few months to Korea and I’m worried that the lounge won’t have any food at all. It’s gonna be my first time trying business class so that’s kind of excited. I’m an alcoholic so I’ll make sure to get all my hard earned points worthy. Luckily I got a discounted business class using my points (normally 130k points down to 65k).
