The 9 HOUR Domestic Flight! Hawaiian A330 First Class

[@noelphilips]

Flight Price: $2018.54 / £1668.99. $0.33/mile

Oof. That ain’t cheap, but the comfort on that long a flight might be worth it!

Noel, you should've done Boston to Honolulu, the longest domestic flight in the US at 11 hours!

You're right, I just sold this flight to 2 of my clients (I didn't even know HA is flying this route non-stop 4x a week)👍🙂

I’ve flown first class on Hawaiian, but only on its now-retired 767s and once on one of its 717s. Never had a chance to fly first or business class on its A321s or A330s so far. It remains my favorite U.S. carrier because it’s not only headquartered in my home state, but I’ve always felt the aloha spirit as soon as I’ve stepped on board. Glad you enjoyed your experience. 🤙🏽

[@bloxoss]

Been to Hawai'i 3 times, never been able to fly first class (always comfort+ or straight economy), but this shows what I've been missing out on! Thanks for sharing

[@theherrstraveladventures]

Aww good of Noel to be traveling with his mum on this trip.

[@debbieaz3956]

She was a lovely old lady from Austin going to see her son in Hawaii

[@immatt7841]

Love Hawaiian, probably my favorite of all US based Airlines. Maybe the destination helps a bit, but having flown all their products in all classes, I've overall been thoroughly impressed with them.

[@pizzadispenser1389]

I always prefer Alaska over Hawaiian, mainly due to having status with Alaska. But can say Hawaiian I would choose if I wasn’t a frequent flyer

You should do the longest domestic nonstop! Paris to St. Denis, Reunion!

[@AodhanP]

His fellow travel Vlogger, Josh Cahill did this trip recently. Great video Check him out

[@yohanmaduranga]

@@AodhanP that video is not Paris to st. denis

[@goytabr]

Paul Lucas (Wingin' It channel) just flew Dzaoudzi (Mayotte)-St. Denis-Orly on Corsair (A330-900neo business). Mayotte is closer to Paris, but the flight goes backwards to Réunion first because the runway at Dzaoudzi is too short for a fully fueled A330 to take off, so it takes off light with little fuel for a shorter hop to Réunion, refuels there, and takes off from the longer St. Denis runway nonstop to Orly.

[@hangzhang7872]

Not the longest....

[@Ozymandias1]

That is a flight of about 11 hours. Flying from St Petersburg to Vladiwostok takes nearly 13 hours.

Always been interested in Hawaiian airlines and Hawaiian history in general. You right it is really one of the much nicer A330 liveries & the service on board seems great! I think this is definitely an airline that is going to be added to my bucket list.😁 Great Job again Noel!

When I moved from New York to Hawaii, I used to take the Hawaiian no stop between HNL and JFK all the time. For a US based airline (I know, that sets the bar pretty low), I always thought they were pretty good.

I did it in 2019 from HNL-JFK in eco class and it wasnt great at all, the seats they use are not made for flights that long, west coast USA would be tolerable in them but 10 hours, no

Great video, Noel. We fly Hawaiian quite a bit out of SEA and I agree, the service and food are top notch and much better than the mainland legacies' service to the islands. I hope you got to try some of the 717's on interisland service, or one of the copters that gets over to the Forbidden Isle of Ni'ihau!

In theory, the window seats are meant to allow you to walk around the aisle passenger. But in reality, unless you end up next to someone vertically challenged, you’ll have problems!
