Is Hawaiian’s NEW 787 FIRST CLASS Worth It? Full Comparison!

Watch this video to see whether Hawaiian Airlines’ new Boeing 787 Dreamliner in First Class is worth it! We'll make a Full Comparison between First Class AND Economy!
We flew from San Francisco to Honolulu in Hawaiian Airlines’ Extra Comfort to see what that experience was like. We also checked out Hawaiian Airlines Economy Class seats to check them out, too.
If you check out this video, you’ll see precisely what to expect when you travel on Hawaiian Airlines 787 Extra Comfort. We’ll also walk you through the entire 787 Dreamliner!
After a few days in Hawaii, we’ll check out Hawaiian Airlines First Class! We’ll see the Hawaiian Airlines First Class Food on the Hawaiian Dreamliner.
When it’s all said and done, we’ll rate everything using the JebScore. We’ll rate the Hawaiian Airlines Lounge, the Hawaiian Airlines 787 Dreamliner Seat, the Hawaiian Airlines First Class Food, the Hawaiian Airlines Inflight Entertainment, and - of course - the remarkable Hawaiian Airlines First Class Service!

Seriously who is better than these two? There is zero fluff in this videos which I really really enjoy.

[@BMRS03]

Agreed. It is clear that Jeb and Suzanne are well off and can afford these trips, but there is no pretentiousness or any flexing from them. They come across as genuine people who enjoy traveling, and creating+sharing content.

I flew Hawaiian economy class last year from the big island to LAX (I believe we took Alaskan to get to Hawai'i??) and it was so nice. The fun part about the Hilo airport is it's mostly outdoors, so we got to walk from the gate to the tarmac, and THEN onto the plane!

[@Brent-Tanabe]

Actually it's the Kona airport that has the outdoor gates. Hilo airport has jet bridges & only flies Interisland at the moment.

[@FelixWheatfield]

@@Brent-Tanabe You are 100% correct, actually couldn't remember where we flew out of exactly. Thanks!

[@derbagger22]

@@Brent-Tanabe Ah, I was gonna say the same with Kona. I'd like to try Hilo sometime to see it as we stay on that side of the Big Island every time. But I love the drive all around and across so Kona is fine...

Aloha! We were just in Kauai last week and can now say that ALL a321Neos from Hawaiian airline have ultra super speed satellite STARLINK WIFI for FREE! It's truly a gamechanger and really helped time go by. We flew extra comfort both ways and had a great experience (our 3rd with Hawaiian from Oakland) We've never done a widebody so we'll have to try the dreamliner or the A330. Mahalo for your review and wow those clips from takeoff from Honolulu were absolutely breathtaking.

I am a Bay Area resident and regularly fly the SFO-HNL route. Thank you for this video. I typically seek out United 777-300ER flights on that route that have Polaris Business Class seating but recently United has only been offering it on one flight/day each way. Good to see Hawaiian is offering a competitive alternative.

[@ScottStingel]

Exactly the same for me - I will check out the schedule for these new 787s

[@michaelphillips5263]

GREAT shirt, Jeb!

[@FanRailer]

These'll be nice when they make it out east to the New York/Boston flights to and from Hawaii. 1st class would definitely be a nice touch for a 9+hr flight. My only criticism is that the seats don't alternate configuration every row like they do on UA Polaris. Aside from there being no true window seats, saying the two middle seats are for couples when they both face away from each other is a bit odd lol.

[@lindamoulton1560]

I flew Hawaiian First from LAX- KOA last summer (thanks upgrade bid!) and absolutely loved those salt and pepper Hawaiian Shirts that they put them in. SO FREAKING CUTE! 🤩

I hope to figure out away to try Hawaiian Airlines so that my family and I can travel in comfort. Travel safe you two!😊✈️

[@ukdavepianoman]

Another great video. Love Jeb and Suzanne - always upbeat and fun whatever the situation and also fair in their assessments. First class looked very solid to me. Economy looked fine for a daytime flight. I guess some lounge availability is a plus given that almost all American domestic First doesn't have this (Alaska being an exception).

[@deanscott614]

I remember when the first Hawaiian B787 landed in Brisbane, Australia, a few months ago. Interestingly, it was the first airport the Hawaiian Dreamliner went to outside of North America/Hawaii. It was one of the most anticipated arrivals for quite a while in Brisbane.
