[@trevordoyle6823]

That's my airport

[@dforrest4503]

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

[@schalitz1]

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

[@Ulkian]

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)👍🙂

[@skejekkeekkekekekek4841]

He lives in Texas so it was easier to do this

[@manis1852]

Yes, United has a Newark to Honolulu, which is a longer flight

[@tsmaximus1237]

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. 🤙🏽

[@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

[@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

[@ryanrobertson8951]

I'm just glad to see someone else who likes airline food. It's my favorite part of flying first class.

[@brittanyq4414]

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.

[@abelfong8712]

Excited for you to eventually fly the new Hawaiian 787 hopefully first class! (I work for the company that Hawaiian collaborated with to design the new cabin)

[@WorldWide_Dom]

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!

[@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

[@immatt7841]

@@pizzadispenser1389 If things go as planned with the Alaskan/Hawaiian merger, looks like you may get your wish. I hope it works out too, Alaskan has a great mileage program.

Yeah, contrary to the bulk of political garbage that "swirls" out of Texas, the people seem very genuine and friendly. I drove through Texas at least 60+ times in my ten year long haul driving phase of my working years. Knew a few Texan's while in the Marine Corps as well.

[@KayJay01]

@@Wolverines77 Texas is actually quite normal politically in the big cities, especially Austin. It's in the rural areas that people tend to go overboard with conspiracy theories and other far-right garbage.

11:39 ...walking through the massive concrete underbelly of parking garage and car access ramps: Noel: "How cool is this beautiful, beautiful part of the world!"

[@frankey2356]

Haha. I was thinking that! I half expected him to get mugged!

[@kofd04]

We go to Maui from NY every year on Hawaiian. JFK to HNL , 10.5 hours then puddle jumper to OGG. I love the experience they give us.

[@gobuflo]

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!

[@noelphilips]

Thanks for sharing!

[@builtontherockhomestead9390]

I live in Texas. By car it takes over 6 hours for me to drive to El Paso and 6 hours to drive to Houston. Austin is a good 3 hours away. Yup, Texas is a big state. Texarkana is closer to Chicago than it is to El Paso.

[@noelphilips]

I flew back into Houston 2 days ago, from Taipei. When we entered Texas over El Paso, we were as close to Houston as we were to Los Angeles! Crazy!

[@Mickcotton]

That’s why Texas is 💩🚽👎

[@SYDAirlineEnthusiast]

The longest domestic flight within the USA is from Boston to Honolulu. I believe they had this route at the time of your video. They had jfk to Honolulu for a while though.

[@dudestir127]

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.

[@noelphilips]

Thanks for sharing your experience.

[@Noaddedsalt01]

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

Mr. Phillips if you ever decide to re-visit Tucson now that your in Texas, give me a shout, I’ll show you around and see what I can do to give assistance in giving you a proper tour of the world famous military Aircraft boneyard.

Noel : "When you live in Texas, it takes two or three hours [by air] to get out of it." Me : "You don't know half of it, Noel." 😆

[@Ken_Weber_organist]

no, the new 787 will have NINE (9) rows of first class 1-2-1 seating for 36 total first class seats. I already booked a HNL-LAX roundtrip in seat 9A

I retired from UA as a a Customer Service Team Leader out of EWR (Newark Liberty Intl Airport) and we had a non stop flight daily from EWR-HNL and it was a 10.5 to 1100 hr flight non stop! 9 hrs from IAH is a few hours shorter!

How about Paris to Cayenne in French Guiana which is an overseas department of France. That would be another very long domestic flight

[@MarkCMoran]

I took the 11 hour flight from Boston to HNL on December 5, 2022, and it was pretty amazing. Coincidentally, I'm in Austin while watching this video of you flying from Austin to Hawaii, which is where I used to live until about 3 weeks ago. :-)

[@marcusmcmahan]

Looking forward to this video! Hawaiian is one of my favorite airlines! I remember the golden days back in the 80's, after moving from Dallas to Kihei, I would always keep an extra voucher booklet in my glove box! Great airline for the most part! Enjoy your flight, Noel, and Aloha!
