Disappointing Series Of Events Involving Hawaiian Airlines - The Greatest Flight But Bad Experiences

Hawaiian Airlines Oct 2023

[@joshuafish3698]

Hawaiian airlines..... really nice service..... really stupid company policies. I drove shuttle bus taking passengers to/from aulani. It was nice seeing Ko'olina early in the morning again. Traffic is horrible on the H1 because of all the military trying to get onto the Pearl Harbor/Hickam military bases. I really enjoyed seeing all the things you've done with your dear mother. Nice job on the videos.

[@Tr0nzoid]

Also, traffic is congested because of west side residents going into and from town.

[@loganz]

For Hawaiian Air credit, you just need to book something before the expiration date, the flight can be later.

[@vicventures9823]

When you mention that it's "all part of the experience", I couldn't help but think of the scene in "Rocketeer" when the announcer kept saying after every chaotic catastrophe happening at the air show, that it's "all part of the show". You're a saint, Adam. LOL

[@chitownkid8716]

I love some of the non dialog shots where its just sights and sounds. Very soothing.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I try to do those often when there’s no music to talk over

[@carlavision6143]

Adam, really enjoyed your ✈️ from Hawaii back to La video! Thank you for taking me along with you through your videos! Can't wait till your next vlog.

[@alliekuma4234]

I'm so glad you and Mama Woo had a great time together. ♥ It's nice that even on Hawaii you were recognized and appreciated for your hard work. Even though I gotta support my Detroit Tigers I'm still bummed for you that the Ray's lost. They seem like an awesome team and I know you were looking forward to hopefully going to more games. I'm happy you both are safe and were able to enjoy your paradise. : )

[@bob4364]

Hey ADAM, great video with your mom heading back from Hawaii to LA, CA..Enjoy onward until your next video from Anaheim..

[@rhondalockrey9592]

Agree Adam I think with you having booking that first extra hotel before you had to fly out should get the airlines to at least extend that credit for you. Wow not even a year on the refund seems nuts. Great vlog series on my bucket list!

[@andierob]

I’ve had great experiences on Hawaiian airlines both times I’ve flown to Hawaii, it’s hit or miss with any airline really. The Wi-Fi is probably a little more complicated over the ocean maybe? Really enjoyed this series .. thanks for sharing.

[@RickMuirhead]

Airline wi-fi is based on satellites ... more likely, the airline has just not invested in retrofitting their older aircraft.

[@JennyBastet]

No it's not the ocean problem . I fly from Germany to the US every year with perfectly fine Wi-Fi ;) the airline must buy the converter and everything for the Wi-Fi on board and that's expensive 😅

[@TheGatlinburgHussey]

I thought of you as soon as the Rays Game ended Adam..ugh! And I can't believe the turn out ! I get it, it's a 3pm start but come on! That place should have been 🎉🎉🎉.. Hellooo from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park 🏞️🌄🐻

[@TheDailyWoo]

Pretty bummed about it. Hope you are doing well buddy

[@lisaresnick283]

Adam! Stop complaining and get a real job! Not everyone in the real world can afford a trip like you! You are living in a dream world not reality

[@petergabrielfan1]

Great to see this series with your mum. Nothing like family time my friend, have a fantastic time Adam the wooooooo

[@5804Blueyes]

I loved loved loved this Hawaii series Adam. You and your mom are great tour guides

[@livingdonor7774]

Wow, for what you paid for first class, that was a dated cabin. No built in IFE screen, no wifi, dinky pillow, average brunch. Definitely not what I would consider first class other than the flat lie seat. Doesn't make me want to fly Hawaiian anytime soon.

[@jamesstephenson8789]

Personally I don’t know why he always has to show off his money telling people oh I booked first class maybe he should be saving some if he pulled it all out of the stock market I don’t believe he did even though he said he did and bought into a very expensive vacation club dude will go broke quick especially with everything going up

[@jennifermcneil8349]

As a Rangers fan, I really enjoyed the score reveal 😂😊

[@shannono8397]

I'm from Oahu and when you were leaving Ko'Olina/Aulani (westside) @ 5:13 am I was like omg you're gonna hit lots of traffic. Adam I am so happy you went to Oahu, know it's Aloha and saw so much! Truly beautiful seeing it through your lens \!!!/

[@shannono8397]

it does seem wild that it takes choke time to get one side to just Honolulu. if your flight is at 8am, leaving at 5 is just enough time to go roughly 20 miles.

[@kathyzellner3178]

thanks for sharing it was beautiful and fun to watch

[@TheLingerers]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think k you have to rebook a flight before march....you should be able to fly in Sept. You just have to use that credit before March. The actual flight can be for after March. That's how it worked when I was a T.A

[@conniecrawford5231]

Please tell your viewers not to forget our ohana in Lahaina ands West Maui! Hopefully, all the resorts and businesses are still financially supporting their ohana ! You will want to see a rebuilt Lahaina Lon your next visit! Maui no ka oi’! MAUI STRONG !

[@catherinetozzi8056]

Your mother is really good with all that walking I would have been exhausted. Keep complaining to the airlines, I think they owe you at least a refund on that 3rd ticket You certainly had a lot of inconveniences I enjoyed my tour of Hawaii……☕️🐿️

I am currently planning our June 2024 trip. We'll be in Oahu for a week and the Big Island for a week. All your stops in Oahu are on my list and super helpful in my planning! We're staying on the North Shore so hopefully we'll do some more local stuff!

[@geniushisfriends1260]

Another great vlog Adam. Thank you. Very smooth landing into LAX.

[@Disneymagic24]

i dont believe you need to fly somewhere when you use the hawaiian airlines credit. I think you just need to BOOK the flight by the march date . that be a question to ask

[@kofd04]

Pretty sure this is accurate.

[@breck8714]

My family and I visited Maui in May of this year and are hooked on Aloha Maid! We found a store in OKC that stocks them!

[@kortisekrypto1726]

I just have one question. When are you going to get TSA pre-check? AS much as you fly, would be well worth it!

[@zerohecks4864]

Good info in this one. Won't be flying with Hawaiian Airlines EVER.

[@kevinwilt3918]

Those islands you passed over are the Channel Islands national park. I would say an extremely underrated treasure here in California. Not too many people ever vlogged them. It's definitely worth a trip to explore there's sea caves, kelp forests, tons of wildlife including seal lions and seals maybe even whales, dolphins, and basking sharks.

[@willl_dabeast]

I live in Ventura County & grew up right across the ocean from them in Ventura

[@kevinwilt3918]

[@fixpacifica]

It would be a a good idea for Alan the Woo to go out to Catalina and roam around, if he hasn't already done that. I personally get bored there after a few hours, but I bet it would make for a very good video.

[@haroldresnick6058]

Adam, you are somewhere where I've dreamed of going my entire life. So what if they don't have Wi-Fi? Find something else to do, like look out the window! Of course Wi-Fi would be nice, but maybe being over the middle of the Pacific Ocean might have something to do with it. Find better things to complain about!

[@lisaresnick283]

Well said!!

[@davie941]

hello again Adam and Mom Woo, this has been a great few days , the food looked so nice, i really enjoyed these Vlogs , really well done and thank you 😊

[@nancybarta8167]

I cant believe calif gas is more then Hawaii's! I like to sit behind the pilot for the leg room. I usually fly out of Ontario.......less probs. What a wonderful trip for Mom!!!

[@Katz1950]

It’s way more expensive than Alaska gas also

[@robertholtz]

Never been a fan of Hawaiian Airlines. I sure miss Virgin America which used to be the best way to Hawaii. My current recommendation is Delta First Class. Superior in every way.

[@KimberTravels99]

Great Vlogs of your Aulani trip -- The segment on the stadiums you haven't been to - try to get to Milwaukee. (Wrigley North.. :D ) There is no such "neighborhood" around the stadium, but a Wisconsin Tailgate is a for real thing. Also the stadium is a great venue with really good food / drink options. Looking forward to next year's baseball vlogs.

[@helgabullabong]

Although sad to leave, it must be a comfort as a DVC member to know you will return.

[@dis-2536]

Go back and stay outside the Disney bubble, travel to other islands, see the natural beauty of the islands. The Grand Canyon of the Pacific, the Na Pali coast, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Haleakala above the clouds on Maui - spectacular! Good luck to the Rays!

It was nice seeing you at one of the shops inside the Aulani resort. I would like to apologize if my family and I startled you. The Aulani resort is definitely worth traveling to.

[@DianaLynne-27]

What a way to start the day! Enjoyed this series of videos. Looking forward to your baseball videos and California and Florida videos again. Seeing your sweet mom again has been fun. You two are so great together along with your dad when he is around. What a loving family. Thank you for sharing👍

[@doubleueyett]

That large airport you thought you were going to land at is Point Mugu. Its a naval base i(n Oxnard) and used to be the third otion behind florida and Palmdale for the Space Shuttle to land :)

[@drshepherd1969]

Had wondered why dad didn't go, glad you told us! Wonderful Hawaii series! One of these days I will get there again. Visited Hawaii once for 22 hours on the way back from deployment. Wasn't nearly long enough! Rays have a lot of injuries, that's what is hurting them this year, as you know. Hopefully they can pull a win in the next 2 games.

[@wedgethx]

A lot of injuries & legal problems 😂

[@cinccave5459]

On the island of Oahu there are 1.2 million people. It seems all of the heading toward Honolulu in the morning The Morning rush hour here lasts from around 0500 to 0830 or even 0900 at times. If you had left a half an hour later, you would have probably run into even heavier traffic.

[@MikesVegas]

Locals say that the 3 worst things about Honolulu is the Cost of living, the Traffic and the Homelessness. 😬

Go Rangers.

[@ksamsel5809]

You just described Florida.

Thanks Democrats keep voting Blue Hawaii😢

[@mebluewater]

I believe as long as you purchase your ticket to Hawaii before March, you can schedule your flight the same time you did this year

[@kofd04]

I think you are correct. And they book about a year out, so should be able to use it as far out as March 2025.

[@TheDailyWoo]

I asked that and they told me know . I’m going to call again and push the issue

[@rickgray5731]

Adam, do you know why the Rays only drew 19,704 yesterday for a playoff game? The Rays fans not showing up are a big topic of conversation today. Just thought I'd ask since your such a good Rays fan.

Rays didn’t show up and neither did the fans but way to go on the lowest attendance record for an mlb playoff game…..

[@Davysitter]

If the cancelation was for medical reasons they make an exception with proof but as the cancelation policy was stated before purchase they may not help you - in your favor is the fact it was first class - when you call ask for concierge customer service/supervisor

[@arizonaalchemy7572]

LAX is Huge. A lot of walking. Flew in and out of there to and back from the Philippines in 2004.

[@BengalHalos]

Adam it’s looking like your October calendar will be clear. Sorry you won’t be attending any postseason games this year.

[@espo7182]

NAH NAH NAH, NAH NAH NAH, HEY, HEY GOODBYE RAYS!!! This is why you NEVER EVER try to plan ahead in sports in the post season. One game at a time, not, "If the Rays can get to X round, it's a stadium I haven't been too. And if they make the World Sereis, it's a bunch of stadiums. You never do this in the post season. Especially, since they shyt the bed in the the wild card last year as well.

[@simba34297]

Heading back to LAX, that's called RE-LAX.

[@bodyloverz30]

You missed the Hawaiian Domestic First Class Lounge.

[@ko9446]

The islands you flew over is Santa Cruz and Anacapa. The airport you turned over is Point Mugu.

[@cblord5]

The walk from LAX midfield concourse has different experiences for different airlines. Some airlines utilize Terminal 1 and bus operations to reach the gates. Hawaiian and a few others have to take that long walk for baggage claim. Without specific knowledge, you’ll never know how to avoid it.

[@amytraveltrails8735]

I can’t wait till you go back to Aulani for another stay. 🥰😍These videos have been amazing 🥳🤩so fun.😎😎

hopefully airline will give you the credit that you paid for but we weren’t able to use our credits with Air Canada when our cruise was canceled. Enjoy the DVC hotel at DL.

Hawaiian airlines cancelled their hawaii to orlando route which I had booked last year and I had to do so much chasing up to get my refund then I didn't get a full refund and had to chase that up. I've never flown them and they've given me such a bad taste such a hassle then paid so much more and had to do a layover because it was a last minute booking because they gave barely any notice

[@gabriel.4672]

Hawaiian airlines has THE safest record of all the airlines. Look it up! To me that’s more important than WiFi!

[@TheDailyWoo]

My biggest issue is the cancellation of our flight 10 hours before take off with no explanation

[@gabriel.4672]

@@TheDailyWoo Yeah I agree that is a problem, especially that close to travel day! I had my family flight on Hawaiian canceled last month but the flight isn’t actually until November. I was able to rebook for another flight but now have a layover rather than nonstop. I was mad about that so I would definitely be upset if I were in your shoes that close to leaving. Thank you for the great content. I’m also your age (49) and it’s nice to see you doing trips with your mother. My Mom will be coming along with me on my trip next month as well.

You seem to like the honolulu airport as much as i do. I love that open air concept. Been to Hawaii twice, going again end of April next year. First time i got off the plane, it was 11:30pm and i was so shocked at that concept. My wife and I were wondering who the third ticket at the pcc was for. Hopefully the 3 of you can go together next time.

[@jamespurse5225]

Hawaiians policy for credit (use in 12 months) are in line with most of the other domestic carriers. Southwest has this same policy. I cancel trips all the time knowing that I can use the credit towards another trip, but Southwest goes everywhere. The problem with Hawaiian is they only go to Hawaii, so you are stuck having commit to traveling halfway across the pacific. I totally understand Adam's frustration. I will say that Hawaiian's overall product is superior compared to the other domestics. They are the only carrier that offers food service to the entire cabin. This inclusive with the cost of airfare whether sitting in back or up in first . I find their cabins to be spacious and comfortable. The only other carrier I recommend to Hawaii is Alaska Airlines. They have great service and you cant beat their BOGO program tied to their credit card.

[@roadgeek09]

Fly Southwest , credits never expire

[@jamespurse5225]

​@@roadgeek09 That would depend on what type of ticket was purchased from Southwest. I believe only the Business Select or Anytime Tickets credits would maintained indefinitely. Wanna get away (non refundable), if this is a passenger cancelation, the value is good for 12 months from purchase.
