Cloud surfing never gets old for takeoff and landing!

Great trip report. What a beautiful approach into Honolulu.

[@Southwest252]

Thanks for watching! It was amazing to fly into HNL!

[@MatthewsAviationChannel]

I definitely like your trip reports :)

[@Southwest252]

Thank you! I hope to make more soon!

[@MatthewsAviationChannel]

No problem! I can’t wait :)

Going in December 2023. Just booked my flight and hotel. Thanks for the very helpful video

[@Southwest252]

Enjoy your trip! Oahu is a really beautiful island and worth every minute! I’m glad the video helped :)

[@nenblom]

Beautiful. I would love to take a flight on the. MAX.

[@Southwest252]

Thanks for watching! The MAX is truly a great aircraft!

[@CLTaviation13]

Great video! What gorgeous scenery! I'm disappointed WN isn't adding in seat power to the entire fleet. I totally understand the reason for not putting it on the older birds. Anyways, can't wait to ride them later this year!

[@Southwest252]

Thanks for watching! I’m excited to see power on the MAXes, especially since they’ll eventually become the workhorse of the fleet, but I agree that it’s disappointing that the others won’t get it in the meantime

19:16 - The wing looks so fragile.

Very cool trip report! I’ll be flying Southwest in about 3 weeks to Austin! I have never been on the MAX-8, hopefully I can fly it someday.

[@Southwest252]

Thanks for watching! The MAX is a truly magnificent airplane! It’s much quieter than the NG, and it seems to bump less when there’s turbulence, in my experience. I hope you can get to fly on one soon! Enjoy your flight to Austin!

We will be going to Honolulu in Jan. And it’s around 2 of my daughters bdays how to we get an announcement on the intercom? 🎉❤❤ They would love it! 🥰🥰

[@Southwest252]

I’m sure if you talk with the flight attendants you might be able to have an announcement! Enjoy your trip!

[@anjustash]

time foe me to visit Hawaii someday

[@Southwest252]

I would recommend it!

[@michaelespinosa9168]

How smooth was your flight going there and back?

[@Southwest252]

Both were pretty smooth

[@notorious202]

No tvs?? Were you able to watch anything for the 5 hours?

[@hunterayyob4320]

@@notorious202 there is a device stand pretty sure they offer a entertainment off the website I know American does

[@oliverfoden]

Of course you can’t have a flight in America without the over reacting American family in the background
