Thank you for your comment and for watching the video! My reference to pacing was in that there was not a long delay getting the meal tray out after the macadamia nuts and drinks were delivered. I had “heard” through the coconut wireless that on some earlier flights they were still working out the kinks with new galley and service flow with the larger first class cabin. On this flight the meal tray was delivered without a long wait much like delivery times on A330 with its smaller 1st cabin. I miss the “plated” service vs the one tray approach too. Recently flew Condor in their Prime Seat and was pleasantly surprised that they served main and dessert plated not on a tray and separately from the appetizers. Please have a look at vid if of interest! Thank you again for commenting and if you haven’t already please consider subscribing to the channel.

Thank you for watching & thank you for your comment/question! Here is some additional info - hope this helps answer your question. This flight departed from the new Mauka Gate area that is part of Terminal 1 not Terminal 2. Terminal 1 does not have a dedicated "pre screen" USDA check point for carry on bags prior to entering the Terminal 1 lobby. Unlike Terminal 2 (which is used by DL, UA, AA etc - mainland/international flights) & which has USDA screening prior to entering the check in lines. Terminal 1 is also used for Hawaiian's inter island flights (which are not screened) and now with the completion of the new Mauka concourse, many of their mainland flights. The HA mainland flights only depart from the new Terminal 1 Mauka concourse & since carry on bags haven't been USDA scanned elsewhere in Terminal 1 - screening is done at the Mauka gates. With the USDA screening taking place in a "room" located just behind the gate desks and prior to ticket scanning. Thank you again for watching the video and for your comment.

Harvey, the Hawaii-to-Mainland agricultural inspection for carryon bags happens together with TSA processing at HNL terminal 2. The ag inspectors sit right behind the TSA people. In HNL Terminal 1, Hawaiian has too many interisland passengers who do not need agricultural screening, so they set up "mobile" ag checkpoints at the gates serving mainland flights and process mainland passengers there. In Hawaii, no airline owns any gaterooms, and a flight can literally depart from anywhere, and thus the mobile approach to this inspection.

@@jamesmoninger1982 Thanks, makes sense!

Thank you for your question! No - not yet but Hawaiian has completed install on all A321's & announced they are working on adding Starlink WiFi to all A330's by year end. Hopefully they will announce installs for the 787's at some point soon.

Thank you for watching and for commenting! The seats are manufactured by Adient Ascent and are currently being used by Qatar on their 787's and has been selected by American for their upcoming 787 deliveries and cabin refit program. It is an international business class seat with a door. I choose this title because the flight was marketed as "domestic first class" and Hawaiian labels the seats Leihoku Suites. Apologies! if I took too much liberty. Thank you again for your comment. If you haven't already please consider subscribing to the channel!
