Among the 20 biggest airline companies in the United States, Hawaiian Airlines is the major airline company in the State of Hawaii. Previously named the Inter-Island Airways, this airline has been in business for almost a century.
Hawaiian Airlines is not like your usual domestic airline that merely offers budget flights with meager service. It provides topnotch service that can match even the best airlines in the world. It has only limited destinations in the US and flies also to some Pacific Island destinations, Australia and the Philippines.
Travelers can also take advantage of their mileage promotion through their frequent flyer program where you earn points you can redeem as plane tickets.
I was surprised with the service on Hawaiian. Their staff are always courteous and helpful, reminiscent of how most Hawaiian people are. From the front desk staff to on-flight staff the customer service is excellent. The food is not bad either for airline food.
The price though is what gets most people to book with Hawaiian Airlines. They offer flights at reasonable prices and compare very favorable against the major airlines. The only negative is the in-flight entertainment. I didn't like having to pay for a dig-e Player to be able to watch movies.
I did a long haul flight of 10 hours with Hawaiian Airlines and I would definitely fly with them again. Their price, service, food and the plane itself were excellent.
Besides the price, how did you find the digEplayer experience?
I found it as good as the online movies but not as as extensive in the choices.
