I always love flying Hawaii and I have nothing to add

They cancelled our flight and one after and then crammed everyone on a late flight. Refused to give us a meal voucher because the delay was less than 3 hours. In the end the delay was 4 hours. No reason was ever given for the cancelled flights. Fly Southwest!

Flight delayed. Then left much later than new time. 88 year old dad waiting at Kona airport for ages.

Plane had screws missing from engine cowling. Retire that POS

The check in women was very nasty attitude to the passengers from Lihue airport flight 68

The Hawaiian airlines checkin desk was too small for the number of checkins. The seat on the plane was right next to the jet engine and it was very loud. It was probably 90 decibels or more loud. They should offer protective ear muffs for those seats. Seriosly. It was LOUD. The boarding of passengers should begin with those at the back of the aircraft, not the front of the aircraft to avoid having to wade through people who are still putting their stuff in the overhead bins on the way back to the back of the plane.

Short flight but delayed. Since its a short flight no food or entertainment necessary

Flight delayed then cancelled then gate changed two times then baggage lost.

Ok. Older plane not much room to place your carry on. However it was a very quick flight

Good basic airfare for a good price. Boarding is never fun on a large aircraft but it was fine.
