As a local and flight enthusiast I’ve been so excited that Hal got their first one

Great review. HA could position themselves as a hub for Aus /NZ flights to secondary US cities avoiding the dreaded LAX transit. This plane really elevates their service.

Congrats, thanks for the video, looking forward to flying it and reviewing it next month myself!

Always enjoy and love your videos, but especially your commentary. Thanks P.S. from a fellow SF Bay-er. :)

Awesome video, don’t let the haters get you down! Love the content, subscribed!

I remember when Hawaiian Airlines had a few L1011s servicing between California and Hawaii. Yes I’m that old. I loved the L1011 Tristar Jets that were used by Delta Airlines.

Great video! I can't wait to fly it next week :)

Good morning Patrick! Good video to wake up too this Tuesday morning.

Great review. i was also on this flight in extra comfort and was really comfortable.

Oooo I've been waiting for this one! Yaaaaaaaas!

Love the video!

Great video Patrick! What an EXCELLENT VIDEO! Definitely a step in the right direction for international Business Class or as it was sold domestically as First Class! Also I love seeing 1-2-1 seating on Hawaiian 🌺 Airlines finally! Also a B787 is always a treat and the Hawaiian 787-9 has my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE livery of any US carrier right now and maybe of any 787 anywhere worldwide! That’s saying a lot as I’m quite a livery snob! 🤣 Cheers 🥂 my friend A friend of mine sent me this video of yours and I loved it so thanks! 🙏

Great review Patrick! Roll on the London service, and I will be on it, in Business Class for sure x❤

Great video dude 😊

Amazing Video! Hawaiian Airlines can really improve themselves with these new aircraft! Amazing livery

Way to put this out with the quickness! Dope product.

beautiful!

That was quick work posting this presentation. I actually saw that plane take off about ten hours ago. Somewhat rare takeoff from Runway 26R. Kona winds today. Great video!

What a great 1st class product! Thanks for the info + video!

I like the all-black New Zealand 787 best & also Air Canada 787 livery.

That economy cabin looks AMAZING!!

🤩 Wow you're fast! The first review I've seen of this!

Looks really nice.

Finally a video were Paddy gets lei’d! Love your work ❤

Flew from HNL to SFO yesterday on the new 787. Nice flight. People couldn't figure out the window shades and most were left open. Need to give it some time.

Patrick's always the man 😁. Another great video.

Terrific flight review Patrick.Nice new plane type for the airline.

You spoke of the new wing of the HNL: airport as a renovation, which is not actually correct. There was a one story building there but it was completely torn down and this new wing built there.

love flying with you greetings from the netherlands

Nice job! I have BOS-HNL booked for January 2025, but it's on the A330. Hoping that route eventually gets the 787. I also came to compliment your choice of entertainment. I just saw that same episode of Young Sheldon this week!

I would of bet $$$ you’d be on this flight! I almost booked it to do the inaugural with you.

Life long Kamaaina here can't remember the last time take off wasn't from the reef runway

Nice job !! Nice business class cabin

One of my old friends is an HA 330 captain. And yes, he has flown us from HNL to New York! But I think HAL will be using the 787 on the route and, since he plans to remain on the 330, we won’t see him much anymore. 😢 I haven’t been to Hawaii in five years, so I wasn’t even aware of the airport renovation. Yes, the outdoor portion was great on a sunny day. But if it was raining, the whole terminal became so dreary.

Man thats a nice looking cabin. I hope they bring these birds to longer routes

Looking great, what is the next flight review?

The last airline I can say I truly enjoyed was TWA (their L1011 Tristar wide-bodies in particular (yes I'm that old! Haha), but loved the Hawaiian experience a couple years ago. Wonderful flight attendants! This particular Boeing jet is sleek and gorgeous!

Brooo you’re the man 🤙🏽🔥 You actually came thru when I suggested it that you do this inaugural flight. 10000+ likes right here 🤌🏽

As someone with lots of Alaska / OneWorld miles, I look forward to using them with HA!

I think that the planes with the flowers and lady on the Tail section need to have the leaves painted green to fulfill the total Design. draw one out to see how cool that would be.

Great video! Fairly quiet plane which is nice. Food looked decent. Nice to get the history of the airline as well as potential growth.

Qsuite still has the best door of any airlines. I changed into PJ without going to the washroom😂😂

The 330 are going to be freighter for Amazon =D

What timing. Im wearing my HArd Rock Cafe Honolulu shirt today, lol. That new biz class can't come soon enough. People need to be separated. Last OCT, I did HA from HND-HNL on the A330, and guy seated next to me had that dirty, untidy room smell about him.

1st world problem: I always find that when Airlines create a cubby for storage and a place to hang your headphones, they tend to be very inconvenient, provided the wires for headphones can get tangled up, given that the headphone jack is placed somewhere random. However, HA seems to have heard my criticism and placed the headphone jack in the cubby, so storing your headphones and all the wiring is super easy. Well done!

I saw this plane do test flights out of San Francisco International Airport.

Did anyone notice the truck driving backwards 9:26 😂

Hawaiian’s got the best 787 livery

I am going on 787 on Friday out of Phoenix.

I think your 'Homies"did A good job as did you. I like how you included the history lesson. Beautiful interior. I watched it l take off on Reverse Ops and land on Cali planes

Love your channel man makes me want to travel every time. Sometime soon to Honolulu from Sydney - on Hawaiian maybe?!

Great review on HA's new 787! Like you said, HA used to have flights to Manila, but "high fuel prices and low fares" were the reasons behind the abrupt end of that service. With the incoming 787s and the merger with Alaska Airlines, I hope the management would consider bringing back MNL-HNL flights in the future, as only Philippine Airlines serves non-stop flights to Honolulu from Manila. Anyway, I already flew Hawaiian 4 times, all of them from Honolulu to Kahului, Maui and back, and all of them are in 717s. Those were a unique experience back then, and I'm glad I've flown that narrow-body aircraft type before it's eventually be phased out.

Just flew from Inchon to Honolulu on HA, the outdated seats and configuration was painful. But, not as painful as the attitude from half of the flight attendants. They should go through training with Asiana, they are sweet and beautiful not old and bitter.

I like Air Tanzania's 788's. Sky blue lettering and the giraffe on the tail. I'm glad to see HA improved its first class product to make it once again superior to any domestic first class in the US.

Looks like your taxi footage is from a Hawaiian A330?

I like the Kenya airways 787-8

I just flew round trip to Maui…..talked to a very senior, very good steward . He told me the first class area is tight and difficult for flight attendants. Also mentioned they have very little garbage space , so they have to put garbage on carts and move it to some area in the economy section. Looks very nice but was not set up well for flight attendants. Also, this was built at the scab plant in S Carolina. I have heard of way too many issues coming out of there.

Great Video.. and Channel I Subscribe Aloha 🤙🏾🤙🏾

No doubt about it, the HAL livery was meant to be on the 787! But my personal favorite would be Vietnam Airlines' livery.

That is not the "renovated" part of the terminal, it is the NEW part of the terminal. I am excited to try the HA 787, my local airline and my favorite plane. BTW, check out Japan Airlines 787 economy seating, 2-4-2, incredible!

I saw this plane flying over my school

Good morning from Papua New Guinea.

Fly Hawaiian quite a bit, and I was sad when this was delayed. Just need to know when it will hit the Tokyo-Honolulu route.

Great vid, glad I could photobomb it at 3:15 But seriously, I'm gonna have nightmares about those turbulences. Thanks for coming out to the Islands 🤙🏽

You got the discussion about the economy seats completely wrong. There is nothing luxurious about a 3-3-3 layout on a 787, it is standard and VERY tight at 17-inch seat width. The REAL generous layout on a 787 is 2-4-2 like on Japan Airlines. And, BTW, absolutely NOBODY does 3-4-3 on a 787, it is physically impossible. The Air India aircraft you are referring to is a 777 (not 787). On a 777 3-4-3 is now the standard (and extremely uncomfortable) layout, but Air India kept the older (and more generous) 3-3-3 layout on its 777s with 18-19 inch seat width. It is foolish and misguided to compare a 3-3-3 on a 777 with a 3-3-3 on the MUCH narrower 787.

Personally I really like the new United livery on the 787s. The second would be Korean air 787 livery.

Starlink is available on all 321s now. The 330s will start receiving them soon. The first two 787s don't have starlink yet, but Boeing is is working with starlink to have the remaining 10 planes delivered with starlink. Then the first two will be retrofitted.

Mahalo nui loa for a very good video. Helpful history and current information. I really hope Hawaiian Airlines / Alaska succeeds and is able to expand direct flights to more countries. I hope to fly on one of these 787s before I die. And, hope that whatever possible manufacturing shortcuts Boeing may have taken are discovered and resolved ASAP. I fly from OGG to SFO regularly and whenever possible choose Hawaiian. United seems to use their oldest planes for Hawaii; I guess United figures people will put up with that because they're going to Hawai'i. Am flying American to PHX next week only because Hawaiian doesn't have a nonstop from OGG to PHX. I am hoping for the best but am prepared to be underwhelmed by American Airlines.

I Like The Livery.Great Video And Info

👍👍👍✈️✈️✈️🤙🤙🤙

That's a rare 26R take off out of HNL. Great video as always my dude!

Was their Wi-Fi on your flight??

I first visited Hawaii back in April 2016. I wanna go visit there again.

I'm hoping the government blocks the merger to be honest. Market consolidation always increases fare prices as competition decreases and the Jetblue/Spirit merger was blocked recently

Thank you for sharing a very nice flight!!! Looking very nice. I agree with you about the lounge area lacking food to eat.😊 But that celebration service at the gate there looked nice. Well, you seat here looked very nice. And agree with you about that seat door!!! It does not close completely. Hmmm!!😊 And yes, like you I would like the window in general!😊

$430 for this seat?! That's amazing

9.862 👍

10:55 is anyone gonna talk about that TransAir 737-200🗿

You gave to the word crafty a new definition with the footage of an SAS, 737? 😅

great review - with the merger with Alaska Airlines - will the airline join Oneworld alliance ?

I always feel that Honolulu has the potential to become next Dubai on the Pacific. It’s just with infrastructure renewal you always can’t expect too much from the government 😅

weird that they didn't take off from the Reef Runway.

Good review but bummer you did not comment on the food on how it tasted or show close up of the menu, Other than that good review

You also probably met Sam Shui there 😅

Runway 26R? That’s unusual!

Fabulous Looking Plane. With That Merger Will They Still Keep There Name?? Thanks As Always. Great Work.

I doubt they do any flights to London

Thanks Patrick, a far cry from when I travelled HNL-> AKL in 1981 with Continental. Would it have been a DC10 back then ??

Great review, thanks. I hope the things that make Hawaiian special are not squandered by it being acquired by Alaska Airlines.✈

Aloha Hawaiian Airlines is Alaska Air going to buy you?

Patrick is spotted multiple times in this other video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f5Ohpcql2r2ZZp8.html

What is wrong with US lounges not having food???

Nice review. Why are some of your runway footage running backwards? Just trying to understand the aesthetic/artistic choice behind it.

'and they lei-d each of us' #awkward but funny and yes there will be detractors on your 3-3-3 comment on economy but i always tend to 'lei' my bets on your POV so, agree; brand new cabin looks stunning, you could've prolly hung the lei on the door to hide that ga-- meh. SFO landing was a veritable twilight zone moment. hope you get some rest, mon ami (you sound a tad tired)

How many B787s will Hawaiian Airlines be taking delivery?

There once was talk about a London flight, but an employee told me that is off the table, and the new planes are more likely to be used on the Japan routes. Sadly with the merger you have to wonder what Alaska will want to do with them. I am a stockholder and voted against the merger because I thought such an important part of Hawaii's identity should remain independent,

787-9 vietnam airplane ✈️

Great review Patrick -I’m not impressed with the food offering - what’s with US carriers calling business class cabins first class , it’s always mystifying and that HA food was on par with most other carriers premium economy- I guess they can extract more money (if anyone is actually parting with coin) for this

@11:03 so we're just gonna casually ignore that 737 200.... 😢 not blaming u just shocked the comments aren't all over it, Hawaiians dreamlike are brilliant, air tahiti nui wins the livery compition in my book cause we'll the entire airplane is awash with vibrant blues.. but Hawaiians sure come in second with the cleanest and most elegant livery I've ever seen. The blue soft undertones on the seats and cabin along with the flowers make this a very very special airplane. Can't wait to fly one!

Solid product for a mid haul route. It will be interesting to see what HA/AS do with the 787's. I would not be surprised to see one of the west coast airports act as a scissor hub for them to start flights to Europe. This was mentioned way back when but don't ask me where I heard it. Of course with AS taking over the day to day operations, who knows. BTW, could have at least found a Boeing jet landing at SFO, not an A333 🙂
