    The best tip is... Get here early! There's always gonna be a hella long line waiting for check in and ticketing!
    Gabriel T.

    I don't travel much to the motherland but whenever I do, I go to PAL, Philippine Airlines. It's not like I have much of a choice right? Since Hawaiian Airlines did away for with their service recently. I guess providing flight services to the single most largest ethnic group here in Hawaii isn't that good for them for whatever reasons. Nonetheless, the best tip is to try your best to get to check in early! There's always guarantee going to be a hella long line! That's pretty much for most international flights as well. If you have balikbayan boxes, try get a porter for "valet service," they will serve you all the way up to check in. Don't forget to tip them. Or you can just do it yourself and get a cart which is about 4 bucks I think. I always like to book online because you can do web check in and makes the process just a little bit more smoother and convenient. As far as the in flight experience goes, it's good overall. It's pretty much a 10 to 11 hour direct flight to Manila, NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport). For some reason, I think it's a bit faster going back home but it's still about 10 hours roughly. They give you two meals during the flight and your experience is always dependent on where you sit, the types of people who you have during the flight, the kinds of attendants you have, the movie that they show, and many other factors. I am sure this is pretty much relevant to other airlines as well. Nonetheless, regardless of the how the flight goes, I always like traveling with PAL because of the excitement and feeling of going and spending time with my family and relatives in the Philippines :)

    The new set up in the business class is not as good as the old one. The older seats has that pod like seating that has bigger space when the seat is reclined all the flat. With the new seating, i felt like I was on top of a table and on display. Would be nice to have more privacy if you choose to sleep during the flight. But service is top notch. The Filipino hospitality is always great. The food may need some improvements and maybe change it up every month. I have been eating prawns every time I fly. I love the ice cream though. Always a highlight of my meal. Breakfast omelette also needs to be fixed. Maybe offer some authentic Filipino breakfast as an option. Priority tags on the luggages doesn't mean anything because my luggages always comes out last. There should be overnight kit for each gender. The l'occitane is too feminine.

    Four stars last year, 5 stars now. How does an airline, other than Japan Airlines or ANA get a…read more5-star (forget Dubai Air, can't afford to fly that in this lifetime)... I didn't like the fact that United changed my flight times 2x, but that's my fault for booking it out several months in advance, but I also was given the option to cancel with a full refund or re-book, which I took full advantage of. I had to pay a little more to land in a smaller airport because the time was more advantageous than landing later in a larger airport, which would have shaved off a significant portion of time on our vacation. THE APP: The best airlines app I've ever used! Smooth, no glitches, flight updates, gate information, baggage claim number, track your bags in real-time, the ability to change your seats in real-time, pay for luggage, find your rideshare map, get your boarding pass, skip the lines, all from the app! THE WEBSITE: I like that you can see your seats on United before you put in all of your payment information, unlike some other airlines (ahem, Hawaiian). COMFORT : We flew one-way from HNL to FLL with a stop in IAH, and on the way home, MCO to HNL with a stop in DEN (80's Cruise - look for the review soon). Both IAH and DEN used Airbus, which is smaller and more "modern" with in-flight touch/entertainment screens; and the older Boeing (to/from HNL), a super-large, older plane with generous leg room (one of the longest we've ever had). I heard a traveler complaining about the older Boeing not having the movie touch-screen, but the older Boeing 777-200's seat configuration allows for a few 2-seaters toward the rear of the aircraft, and I'd rather sit with my husband over sitting with a stranger in a 3-seat config for a touch-screen anyday! This feature alone will make me a loyal United flyer, as long as they keep the 777-200 Boeing! ON TIME: No delays. We almost had one, but the United app kept us updated the entire time, and we were actually early. SERVICE: The flight attendants/pilots were very friendly. The attendants frequently walked up and down the aisles offering refreshments and trash service, unlike some other airlines, where I had to hoard the trash for hours before they came by so I could get up to use the bathroom (ahem, Hawaiian). FOOD: United allows for dietary restrictions and allows for vegan, ovo-lacto, Asian vegetarian, vegetarian, etc. We ordered the Asian Veg on our app ahead of time prior to the flight and we got hot meals before everyone else; it was so delicious that I actually was inspired to create the fresh cucumber salad when we came home! LUGGAGE FEES: $40 for the first check-in, $50 for the second luggage. Option to check in your carryon for free on full flights and in some cases, move up to Boarding Position 2 (out of 6) if you volunteer your carry-on. Flown on United twice recently, and wasn't subject to the WILMA (look it up). OTHER: Blankets in sealed packages and I needed an extra due to the cold cabin; attendant was friendly and gave me another. We had an emergency prior to landing in IAH with a man in an aisle across from us who thought he was having a heart attack and the United staff was professional and level-headed from beginning to the end. The man was alright and was able to walk off with EMT. RETURN FACTOR: I am a fan! As long as they will keep the 777-200 Boeing config and their stellar service/communication, will start becoming a repeat customer not chasing the cheapest flight.

    My recent trip from Chicago (ORD) to Kona, HI started off rocky with several cancellations and…read morerebooking issues, but I have to give major credit to the teams who stepped up and turned the situation around. 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.

    Longtime Hawaiian Airlines Mastercard holder here, well over a decade. I've used the companion…read morecertificate before with no major issues. First time trying to use it since the Alaska takeover, and somehow the process became dramatically worse. Apparently Alaska's system cannot handle applying a companion certificate to a booking with more than two passengers. So if you're a family of three, congratulations, you've discovered one of the dumbest booking limitations imaginable. The absurd part is that this is literally just a $100 discount certificate. Any halfway competent booking system could simply apply the credit toward the final total at checkout. Instead, customers are expected to split reservations, risk losing seats together, or completely rebook flights afterward like they have unlimited free time and patience. I spent: - 5 minutes with the Hawaiian Airlines Mastercard rep, who was actually polite and helpful - 25-30 minutes trying to explain the issue to outsourced support - nearly another hour waiting on Alaska support The final "solution"? Cancel and completely rebook the flights. Brilliant. Meanwhile, Alaska now seems determined to nickel-and-dime customers into the ground. We already paid extra for Premium Economy, but apparently sitting together as a family is now considered some kind of luxury add-on. Extra for aisle seats. Extra for window seats. Extra for sitting slightly closer to the front. At this point I'm surprised they haven't introduced a "breathing convenience fee." The old Hawaiian Airlines experience felt warm and practical. The new Alaska version feels like a budget airline wrapped in a cheap touristy Hawaiian shirt bought at an ABC store while aggressively squeezing customers for every possible dollar. Looking forward to the complimentary thimble of mediocre food and the $20 peanuts.

The bathtub did have a ring of discoloration surrounding the drain. I gave my kids showers instead of baths to be on the safer side. I love that there are multiple pools on the resort. Although, I am disappointed that the adult pool closes at 6 PM, which all the other pools close at 9 PM. There is a private beach area, which my kids enjoyed. Beach chairs are $26 each, which are quite expensive. I appreciate the $65 per night dinning credit, which we utilized at the on site market for snacks and water. We enjoyed the brief firework show from our balcony suite. We attended the on site Huli Huli event, which was quite disappointing. I did not enjoy the food and it was pricey. $75 for skewers, corn, and shrimp. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and will contemplate on a return visit in the future.

    We picked the Hilton to stay as we're contemplating joining the membership. But after this…read moreexperience, we'll likely be going Marriott. Check in wasn't bad - busy, but it's a resort so expected. The shops are nice to have near. The real issues was within the Rainbow Tower. The elevators are atrocious to deal with. Enter your floor level and it tells you what elevator to get on - you and the 8 other families with 4+ people trying to get in an elevator at the same time doesn't work. So you're stuck on your floor or the lobby for 10+ minutes waiting. Next - the smell of marijuana and cigarettes coming from nearby balconies. We notified front desk but nothing could be done. And finally? The cockroaches that scurried out from under the ice machine on the floor. The picture obviously isn't inside - but it's a cockroach nonetheless the less.

    I have been to this airport a total of 6 times in my life, 4 of which I was just a teenager. Many…read morethings have changed since the last time I was here to this trip. There is quite a distance from the gates to baggage check. With the storm being fully active when we landed (late due to delay) with part of the airport passage ways being open air, there was flooding in certain areas between the gates and baggage claim. Our baggage came down rather quickly and we were greeted with Leis & a shuttle to our hotel. Though some of the areas were wet and flooded, this airport is really well run. Even upon our return to head back to the mainland, TSA lines were not outrageous and fairly quick to get through security. One thing we did notice when flying out of this airport was that all carry on baggage must go through an additional xray machine right before boarding, this is an agriculture check - which takes boarding the plane take slightly longer than other airports. Even with the added step getting through the airport was a breeze.

    Hawaiian Airlines is the worst airline organization I have ever seen in my entire life. I will…read morestand by that statement until the day I die. I have traveled across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. I have flown to more countries than I can count. I've gone through airports with insecure systems, airports where absolutely zero English was spoken, and somehow still managed to check my bags and get my items where they needed to go. This is not a personal opinion. This is a fact based on experience. Hawaiian Airlines is the most disorganized airline I have ever seen in my life, and honestly, I could see them going out of business. As you can see from the pictures, there is absolutely nobody assisting customers. I don't know if they are short-staffed because they refuse to hire people or refuse to pay decent wages, but nobody is there to help because the employees themselves appear overwhelmed with responsibility. Secondly, you have to wait in a completely separate line just to get your bags tagged. If the system fails and doesn't allow you to check in properly, you have to restart the entire process from the beginning. Then, after finally tagging your bags, there is another completely separate line just to drop the bags off. If something goes wrong again, you are sent all the way back to the beginning. It makes absolutely no sense. You know the system where you get your bag tag and boarding pass, then drop your bags? The system used by 99.9% of airlines? I assume Hawaiian Airlines leadership said, "I have an idea. I'm going to make this whole system complicated and confusing for my customers." There are multiple breakdowns in this entire process. You have five employees running back and forth trying to help move bags, but only one main line that splits into two checkpoints for customers trying to check in. Instead of having workers properly stationed at counters assisting customers with bag weighing and bag drop, they have thousands of kiosks with nobody available to help anyone use them. Customers are left standing around trying to figure out broken computer systems that do not scan properly, do not recognize confirmation codes, and constantly fail during check-in. It is a complete mess. I will say this: the flight attendants were very nice, the plane itself was wonderful, and the staff assisting once I finally made it to the front were helpful. But the entire experience beforehand was unnecessarily complicated for absolutely no reason. There are actual classes and professional systems dedicated to organization and customer flow, and Hawaiian Airlines would greatly benefit from them because they are completely failing in this aspect. Lastly, Hawaiian Airlines needs to get its shit together.
