No other airline has ever had a problem with our small dogs flying. She said our dog was too big for the carrier...that she was in.

They had no problem with the dogs and gave us an upgrade...and were cheaper! Thankful we never have to use Hawaiian again.

(Traveled 04/30/26 TH @ 8:50pm and many times before): This time, I was returning to the…read moresouthwest-esque from Hawai'i, but not at a very friendly price! I recently flew one-way with Southwest Airlines from Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) Terminal 2 to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). They had been my favorite domestic carrier for years (I wished they flew internationally!) until Alaska Airlines dethroned them with more routes. Southwest Airlines cornered the southwest and west coast air traffic markets, respectively, and have flown them for business and pleasure. Did this airline still rule the southwest skies!? PURCHASE(S) One-Way Wanna-Get-Away Airfare ($253.10): Nowadays, I booked one-way flights because I usually had more flexibility when I needed to return. However, in this particular case, I needed to be back in Los Angeles for a work event the next afternoon. Since I booked the flight less than three weeks before its departure, I was basically screwed for domestic air travel during the medium season (I returned right after the spring break window). On a red-eye direct flight that arrived in Los Angeles around 5:30am the next morning, it allowed me enough time to get home, get ready, and get to my work event. Checked Luggage (Varied; N/A this instance): This once FREE amenity has since been removed and now was a paid expense. I traveled very light, especially for a quick trip such as this, so I only had a carry-on and backpack. FLIGHT EXPERIENCE ~Check-in: I checked-in online 24-hours prior (Group 3), had my QR code boarding pass on their app, and traveled with only a carryon and backpack, so I was ready to go! I had Global Entry & TSA PreCheck, so my time with security checkpoints and the necessary TSA pleasantries was efficient and minimal. When it was time, passengers were queued-up in order of their boarding group (i.e. A/B/C). The flight felt like it arrived shortly after it departed. ~Seat(s): 27A Window - Come on, it was the same sardine can like all airplanes these days. Recently, Southwest Airlines started assigning seats, so it was no longer a free-for-all once you boarded the plane. I always favored a window seat towards the back of the plane close to the restroom and snacks. I was lucky enough to almost get exactly that! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=mPgY2GS6Z8NBlgeqkY9tkw ~In-flight Meals (Varied; FREE this instance): I opted for my normal Seagram's Ginger Ale and this time a bag of almonds https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=72&select=5-89IYcr8bJRpTt-GoMSwg on Southwest Airlines that I loved. ~Lavatory: I'd done my business at the terminal before we left, so I had no idea of the condition of the restroom closest to me. ~Service & Amenities: All uniformly-dressed flight attendants were adequate and spoke perfect English. None of the seats had video monitors for movie/show watching, music listening, and games playing. The seats themselves were roomy enough. No blankets, headphones, or pillows were provided. The drink/snack cart rolled out shortly after the plane leveled off after takeoff. There were no carry-on baggage fees. PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance): I traveled through and had no need to park (I was dropped off). However, the airport offered onsite parking garages with rates that varied depending on length of stay from FREE (less than 15 minutes) and around $1.00 (16-30 minutes) to a range of $27.00/daily maximum (8+ hours). Because my gate was located within Terminal 1 of departing flights, you had to already be an outgoing or incoming passenger to even get here, so parking would be a moot point. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located deep into Terminal 2 (specifically near Gates E4-E10) filled with several gates, plenty of reasonably-priced eateries and duty-free shops, and a handful of monitors as you passed them along the way. There were sufficient places to sit in the terminal with plenty of natural and electric lighting. Once on the airplane, it seemed like any other, so nothing really needed to be said or seen here, but I wished I recalled the type of plane since I was nerdy like that! ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. I liked to be unencumbered and unfettered, so the least amount of clothing, especially while I traveled through an airport, the better! OVERALL My one-way non-stop flight on Southwest Airlines out of Honolulu (HNL) was fine and got me to Los Angeles (LAX) safely which truthfully was all that mattered to me on any flights. I wished there were seat video monitors that helped pass the time. In any case, I'd fly and recommend them again. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $253.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

*Full Disclosure* Yelp is not available in Thailand, but is present in The Philippines…read more These flights were from HNL-MNL on 04/13/23, MNL-BKK on 04/14/23. A week later BKK-MNL on 04/20/24 and return flight MNL-HNL on 04/27/23. All my reviews in Thailand are on my Tripadvisor account. Me and my other half's last time flying on PAL was Precovid Feb 2020. Not only they are The Philippines Flagship Carrier, they are the oldest airline in Asia. Although they can get you to major destinations across Asia and all ASEAN countries, they aren't in Alliance with other major airline carriers. Booking online was easy. Upon waking up that morning prior to departure, I noticed the flight was delayed by 1 1/2 hours. Which gave ample time to make our way to the airport to grab a bite and coffee before boarding the plane. Online check-in was successful, with 3 hours check-in time, it was sufficient. Having Global Entry membership allows you to expedite security via TSA Precheck only in Honolulu and other US Airports. I must say, that the ground staff from check-in to boarding were efficient and friendly. One piece of information I failed to pack was my Vaccination card or take a photo of both front and back of the card. My fault, I assumed restrictions were lowered and didn't do my proper research prior to the flight. The customer service agent just checked me in and I had the choice of heading back home to pick up my vax card, or chance myself when entering The Philippines without proof of vaccination. Thailand dropped all restrictions from our previous visit Fall of last year. As a foreign traveler entering The Philippines, you're required to complete your eTravel registration to declare proof of vaccination, similar to when entering Japan when proof of vaccination was required. When complete, the website will issue a QR Code prior to entering the country. Service onboard was excellent. Available onboard entertainment on each seat back screens. Being seated in Economy Class, I noticed both lunch and dinner meals includes silverware. For long-haul flights, I'm content. Between Honolulu and Manila, onboard amenities were a pillow & blanket, toothbrush, earphones, two complimentary meals including a mid flight snack, alcohol including red or white wine, beer and other nonalcoholic beverages. Between Manila and Bangkok, it was almost the same. No amenity's were provided on a A321 and each seat back had no inflight screen monitors. But there was a dinner served on the flight going to BKK. Lunch on the return, and free inflight entertainment on each seatback furnished by an A330-300 aircraft. PAL occupies Terminals 1&2 at Manila International Airport(NAIA). When transferring between terminals, it was a bit of organized chaos. What the customer service agent in Honolulu advised us that our checked luggages would automatically transfer between MNL & BKK. Both us and a Thai passenger didn't have faith that our bags would make it through to our final destination. We all had to double check over and over. There was an airport transfer that would shuttle passengers from T1 to T2 without leaving the airport premises. You're escorted by a ticket agent to bypass immigration and customs, and it's required you pass through another security screening as if you are entering an airport for the first time, very similar to making a transit at Incheon Airport. It's not an huge airport like Haneda Airport, but every single person onboard and in NAIA are English friendly, and the most helpful and friendliest airline personnel I've ever come across! Maybe in the future if booked in Business Class, I'd update my review for later.

However, if you would like to add a check-in luggage, pick your seat, and include an inflight meal, you have that option to do so when you book your ticket. Every seat on the flight includes unlimited Wi-Fi which allows you to stream movies or check the internet and send messages for free. If you want to order food or drinks, you can do so via the inflight app and you are served promptly and for a very reasonable price. Just for fun, I tried the children's meal and it was delicious. I also had the Tapas with a highball which is whiskey soda. I actually think this is really delicious in Flight economy food. If you want to pay more then you can even get a lay flat seat in their business class but beware that even though you're paying more for a business class seat you don't get a blanket or pillow unless you pay for that too. Frankly I think this is the way to go that you just pay for what you want. Definitely very strongly recommended!

After the initial cancellations, we were rebooked on United for the first leg to LAX -- and that ended up being an excellent flight. The service was smooth, professional, and truly exceeded expectations. The crew was attentive, the aircraft was comfortable, and the overall experience immediately relieved a lot of the stress from the earlier disruptions. From LAX, we switched back to Delta for the next leg to Honolulu. Delta went above and beyond to make the delay easier on us: * Overnight hotel accommodations provided * Food vouchers covered meals * Uber transportation to and from the airport was arranged Those extra steps made a huge difference and showed a real commitment to customer care. By the time we boarded the final leg of our journey, everything felt seamless again. What started as a frustrating travel day truly turned into a reminder of how great airline service can be when teams go the extra mile. Huge thanks to both United and Delta for making sure we were taken care of every step of the way. We finally arrived in Kona with our spirits high and gratitude even higher. Highly recommend -- top-notch service all around.

She is definitely someone to acknowledge and remember. Our heart was happy during our long flight. She is an excellent Flight Attendant!!! On our way back home, Delta Flight 180, our check in agent was Mr. Kishimi, who somehow ended up as a Flight Attendant too, along with Flight Attendant Samuel. They provided a friendly and attentive service on our way back home. Although the pilot for this trip landed too quickly and too fast, my ears were clogged for days, I'd still give a 5 stars as we had a great flight experience. Thank you, Jackie, Mr. Kishimi and Samuel! Thank you for reading my review. Have a great week!

Much easier and don't have to walk or hunt for a restroom as much as before. In Terminal 1, it is nice that got more comfortable furniture to sit on after getting my coffee from the Starbucks. I really do wish there was a better indicator which security checkpoints are open. Especially in the early hours at Terminal 2. Walk one direction, only to find that it is closed, so sometimes have to backtrack to find one that is open. I totally get that at some hours, it may not make sense to staff all the checkpoints if the demand is lower, but it sure would be nice to look at something and it tells me which one I should go to. For the signs on the ground floor that directs people to the ride share and other places, it references the baggage claim numbers. It might be easier if the signs point people the column numbers, as those are highly visible and don't have to hunt for the baggage claim number signs from the street/curb area.

Plus there are several fun photo spots scattered across the property to enjoy. The pools and beach access were a great perk with plenty of space to unwind after a long day of presentations.

We waited 50 minutes for an elevator, and that only happened when someone finally alerted the staff and someone manually directed the elevator to each floor one by one. Total disaster. * we moved to the Rainbow Tower for our last night. Beautiful view of the beach. However, you have to wait in line at the front desk to get wristbands and towel cards for the pool, then go to another line to get towels, turn the towels back in to get the cards back or you get charged for the towels. And there's no consistency: one person would give us 2 towels per card, but when I returned them a different employee would give us back 1 card per towel. * even though the rainbow tower has 5 elevators and they are 'smart' elevators that go to specific floors we had to wait 15 minutes on check out day to get an elevator that wasn't full. * On the plus side, the bell desk staff are amazing. Extra thanks to Chad for coming to get our bags from the room and then being stuck for an hour waiting for an elevator. Bottom line: their elevator situation is questionable and probably dangerous. If you stay here, be prepared to test your patience and wait in lines A LOT.
