I’ve flown first class on Hawaiian, but only on its now-retired 767s and once on one of its 717s. Never had a chance to fly first or business class on its A321s or A330s so far. It remains my favorite U.S. carrier because it’s not only headquartered in my home state, but I’ve always felt the aloha spirit as soon as I’ve stepped on board. Glad you enjoyed your experience. 🤙🏽

Paul Lucas (Wingin' It channel) just flew Dzaoudzi (Mayotte)-St. Denis-Orly on Corsair (A330-900neo business). Mayotte is closer to Paris, but the flight goes backwards to Réunion first because the runway at Dzaoudzi is too short for a fully fueled A330 to take off, so it takes off light with little fuel for a shorter hop to Réunion, refuels there, and takes off from the longer St. Denis runway nonstop to Orly.
