Check in early, give yourself a bit of time, and enjoy the flight. Lihue has a super small airport, so not much going on there.

Omg the disaster at the security was on another level! “Go to this end, sorry closed now, go to that end”. Ridiculous! This took over an hour! As far as the airline was concerned although I booked nearly a year ago I couldn’t get my bag tag - stand in another 15 minute line or my seat on Hawaiian Airlines- 5 more minutes! Then my TSA status was denied. Like what the heck! Makes a person not want to travel with this amount of incompetence

Bar code for checking luggage and boarding pass didn't work. Had to stand in long customer service line. Passengers at Oahu should be aware the Terminal for Hawaiian Air requires travel by shuttle. Budget an extra 20-30 minutes to get from the main terminal to the remote terminal.

There was mention of a complimentary magazine but none were in the seat pockets. The flight is short so understandable not having food or a snack.

This is my first time flying Hawaiian. It was so disorganized and poorly coordinated, resulting in the most unacceptable delay

Boarding was a nightmare. Almost everyone was on group 4 and there was no line people crowded the check in and made things more chaotic than they needed to be.

Nice people, easy boarding, comfortable seats. But didn’t like being stuck in a seat that I paid for only to hear an ad read by flight attendant for the Hawaiian Airlines credit card. TWO different times. No desire to hear all that. Wish there had been a mute button. And flight attendant handing out applications at the exit was way too much, Otherwise all good!!!

Great flight experience going from Honolulu to Kauai. Nice short flight, so some things don't really qualify for an excellent rating, food & entertainment, since there wasn't any. Check in was nice and easy, crew was great, I'm 6'7" so the seats could have had a bit more room for my knees. But I survived.

I appreciated the clean new plane with a charging port for every seat and a device support at eye level. It was nice to be offered a free cocktail with the tasty sandwich for a meal. I would like to note that the seating was very tight, though. There seemed to also be less room than usual under the seat in front of me to stow my personal item.

Very friendly crew. Surprisingly good leg room in the larger plane. Excellent experience!! I would highly recommend the airline.

On line ticket purchase really poor. Website not user friendly. Customer Service people require better training regarding fees / fares application. When airline cancels issued boarding pass should call customer and notify. Will not fly this airline ever again
