Hawaiian Airlines

First time flying on Hawaiian Airlines going to Aulani. If anyone has ever flown on Comfort Plus, is it worth the upgrade? I went ahead and booked them for the way there, but wondering if I should do it on the way back too

I think you mean Hawaiian Airlines, operated by Alaska Airlines… OCONUS on OCONUS… you’re not gonna get much difference in service beyond legroom…

I don't have advice on the comfort class, but will mention on your flight they will go around and try to get people to sign up for their Atmos Rewards card. If you do it on the flight, you get a better mileage bonus than if you sign up online. If you are going to be buying Aulani points, this might be a good card to get. It's Alaska Air/Hawaiian Air rewards.

Thats good to know, i saw them advertising the atmos online and didnt try to sign up for it yet.

Im a little bummed out because southwest which is what we usually fly on, has a sale right now where if we would have bought with the tickets from them we would have gotten a free companion flight for september. The flight to Hawaii was also slightly cheaper. That would have been a fantastic deal.

As lame as it sounds tho I did want to fly on Hawaiian and get that experience for our first time. Too late to cancel for a refund and we still got an amazing deal. The one way flight jumped over $100 each from yesterday which is how I justified the comfort plus with no issue. Its a direct flight and I dont think ill regret it!

We flew Hawaiian in June from Boston to Oahu nonstop. We flew comfort + there and Delta One on the way back with a stop at JFK. Comfort + was worth it for me. There is more leg room, but the best part was that we could get seats with only 2, so no stranger next to us for 11 hours. I wish we had taken comfort+ on the way back too instead of spending all that money thinking we would be able to sleep on the lay flat seats, nope too uncomfortable, but the Delta One Lounge at JFK was very nice.

Our flight was from Boston, so I guess it would depend on how long your flight is too.

If you plan on opening the card, take advantage of their offer on the plan. They present it just before you land. We have the Hawaiian card and, for us, free luggage more than pays for the card.

On our last trip, we flew Alaska to Hawaii (point value for free trip was lower) and had the normal, indifferent, Alaska customer service. Our return flight was on Hawaiian and felt that service was the same or similar service to what we've experienced in the past. The big difference since the merge is that they adjust the flight times and types of planes quite a bit. It wasn't a big deal for us, but might be for someone else.

I wonder when Hawaiian airlines stops selling seats as Hawaiian airlines? I thought the acquisition integration by Alaskan airlines would be completed sometime in 2026. We are going to Aulani next month, but I am a Delta person so not much to add here, but looking forward to others with insight on this airline!
