When Jeff spoke with his seatmate, who had also paid the extra $142, they shared the same feelings. Some additional offerings, perhaps upgraded food, a checked bag, blanket (Jeff froze), amenity kit, or something else, might have tipped the scale regarding the perceived value we received. Cost: ExtraComfort 7/10.ĭespite the excellent legroom it provided, we couldn’t get a good feeling about the value offered for the ExtraComfort seat price. If we had planned a little further ahead, the $310 fare could have instead been just $129. We paid more because we booked the trip just a couple of days before flying. We won’t fault Hawaiian for the cost much here. It was a fascinating contrast for us here, and we hope it will be for you as well. He also was able to move to a regular economy seat later in the flight, so he actually “killed two birds with one stone.” As a result, you’re getting reviews for both Hawaiian’s regular economy and ExtraComfort products. That’s the most he’s ever paid for ExtraComfort.

Having been tormented for many hours previously in middle seats on multiple airlines, Jeff didn’t want to experience that again.įor that reason, Jeff purchased a costly ExtraComfort upgrade to his economy ticket, which will now be part of this review. Unfortunately, the flight he booked was almost entirely full, and the only seat available to him was a middle seat in the 4-across center section. Jeff originally intended to fly regular economy and not review the ExtraComfort product on this flight. Why Economy and ExtraComfort reviews are combined. Seat-back entertainment is a nice touch, too that’s been disappearing from most new planes. If we ignore the cost of the extra legroom of ExtraComfort, it makes the flight infinitely more enjoyable. The airline is known for superb on-time performance, and they did not disappoint. There’s no doubt that there is a “Hawaii” feel to flying with the airlines that no one else can offer. The Hawaiian Airlines product is very consistent, and they’ve done an excellent job of delivering that in a truly unique way.

On the plus side, we still love the aging A330 fleet for its spacious, clean, modern, and oversized feel. Add to that the “food,” which has been going downhill for a long time but has achieved new lows. On the negative side is the terrible legroom in economy and the relatively poor value for more legroom in ExtraComfort. What worked and what didn’t on Hawaiian Airlines’ economy and ExtraComfort. The total amount we paid was $452, one-way. Jeff also purchased an ExtraComfort seat upgrade for a jaw-dropping additional $142, which you’ll read more about below. The flight cost from Lihue to Los Angeles via Honolulu was $310.
Yes, Hawaiian could have looked him up by name, but honestly, they couldn’t have changed the flight’s overall service.

What’s different is that we’re reviewing airlines that fly to and from Hawaii, and so we approached these Hawaiian Airlines flight reviews, the recent Alaska Airlines review, and our Southwest Airlines review with a more critical eye.īeat of Hawaii paid in full for this trip, and Hawaiian Airlines was unaware that we would be onboard. Many of those flights were onboard this same A330 aircraft in all classes (economy, ExtraComfort, and business/first). On the return flight, we authored a Hawaiian Airlines First Class Lie-Flat Review, which has already proven to be one of our most popular articles and has already been seen more than 100k times with many interesting comments.īy introduction, the Beat of Hawaii team, and editor Jeff, in particular, has flown on Hawaiian Airlines hundreds of times over decades. This was our outbound flight from Hawaii to Los Angeles. Today we’re reviewing Hawaiian Airlines’ economy and ExtraComfort offerings. Beat of Hawaii is continuing to bring you more Hawaii flight reviews from our unique Hawaii-based perspective.
