HAL is the best domestic carrier. Those warm sandwiches and POG are a delight. Though the Neo looks like a great aircraft, single aisle planes are a challenge for flights over an hour. Luv shots of island.

I love Hawaiian Airlines. Being able to have that little bit of Aloha coming to and from the islands is everything. Love the report, hope to see your review of the 787s when they come to HAL in April.

[@standbycolin]

Yes I’m excited as well! Keep a look out for my Trip Report in April👀

Great report, thank you. We are flying to Kauai early April on a A321. I will be in an isle seat row 40 and hope my 6" 2" height won't be too uncomfortable.

Ver nice and relaxing Flight Report. Thank you.

14:16 -- Same! I fly out of BOS and I enjoy their hospitality.

[@SoundHoundStudios999]

I went on this same flight number but when it was the a330 and it was the best experience on a domestic flight I had ever had.

I'm going in 6 months and I'm packing hahahahahahah

[@paulmoeller5220]

Are you saying if you sit on the left side of the aircraft you get a "great view of the Hawai'i island" as in the Big Island? You might want to use spellcheck, but I do like your videos, keep them coming. Unfortunately Hawaiian Airlines doesn't fly from my neck of the woods, but if they did I'd fly them.

[@standbycolin]

Yes

FYI. A330s do not have seatback screens They distribute Ipads

[@standbycolin]

The A330s have IFE sreens on their Main Cabin. First Class is provided iPads to enjoy entertainment. You can refer to my Trip Report on Hawaiian’s A330.
