    Looks like most, if not all of the previous reviews are over 10 years old and average 2-stars. I flew United within the last month and I had a pretty good experience considering all the horror stories I've heard. The first complaint I usually hear is that United has a lot of delayed flights. In my case, our flight was on time. Second complaint I typically hear is that their customer service is bad. Fortunately, we received only good customer service on our flight to LAX. Bag check-in was easy enough. At the gate, they naturally let us board first because we had little ones and like most airlines, they board those with mobility needs, young children, and military personnel first. The plane was clean, they had blankets at each seat for each passenger and not too far into our flight, they offered us complimentary snacks and drinks. I liked that we had a choice of 3 different snacks. There were a savory snack mix that consisted of pretzels and bagel bites, a chocolate quinoa crisp, and a stroopwaffle. Water, juice, and soda were free. Not too long after that, they offered us food and alcoholic drinks for purchase. The food options weren't bad. There were a couple of hot sandwiches available, a fresh fruit and cheese tray, and several different snack boxes. Towards the end of the flight, the flight attendants came around to offer us water. Mid-flight there was some turbulence that lasted a little longer than normal. Nothing the pilots could have prevented. It was just annoying because it was not the type of turbulence I can usually ignore. It was a lot bumpier and lasted for several minutes. Yes, the restrooms are small like any other aircraft, but there was one stall in particular that was really convenient to use. It was a larger ADA accessible and family-type restroom in the middle of the plane which made it easy to take my little ones to go potty. We had a pretty smooth landing, no lost luggage, good customer service, and an overall good experience. Thanks, United!

    I haven't flown United in a hot minute but I booked them from SNA to HNL with a layover in SFO. Granted, I could have flown direct from other airports but did I want to take an UBER/Lyft to those airports? Not, really. I like my home airport and will fly in and out of it 90% of the time. On the way there from SFO, I prebooked my illy cold brew ($6) but I get 25% cash back because I am a United Explorer cardholder. I also thought I would get free checked bags because of the Explorer card, but since I did not have the card at the time of booking, we ended up having to carry-on instead. Not a problem. But because of either points booking or the card, we ended up with Boarding Group 2 so that was a win. I also love that they brought their Stroopwafels back into rotation as one of the snacks available to passengers. We flew economy this time but our flights were short and I could not justify the paid upgrades. There was plenty of room in the overhead bins for our bags. On the overnight flight from HNL to SFO, the person next to my husband requested to move seats due to some sort of allergy and she was accommodated. We ended up with an empty seat so we were able to stretch out a tiny bit on our redeye flight. The FAs were super friendly and helpful. I kind of wish we had meals but it was fine. We ended up utilizing the lounges before our long flights and it worked out. Economy isn't too bad for short flights but the seat pitch is definitely tight.

    Our flight with United, from SFO to HNL was fast and peaceful. We took the 1st flight in the morning, the plane left on time, and we got into Honolulu 15 minutes early. The views during decent were welcoming and the pilot did a wonderful job because the landing was smooth. The flight attendants were very attentive and supplied everyone with light snacks and beverages. They were mindful of the sleeping passengers and spoke in subtle voices. Overall it was a great plane ride. The 5.5 hrs went by quickly. I'm glad the early crowd was all in unison with their sleepiness and we all got to wake up in paradise! Absolutely happy with United Airlines service and professionalism! I'll definitely be flying with them again!

    I recently experienced an exceptionally disappointing flight, an ordeal I had previously only heard others describe. Throughout the entire five-and-a-half-hour journey, three separate groups of children continuously screamed and yelled. Unfortunately, no crew member made any attempt to address the situation with their parents, resulting in a universally unpleasant atmosphere for everyone on board. Compounding the issue, the cabin crew displayed a noticeable lack of attentiveness. I requested pretzels three different times from two separate flight attendants, and never received them. My additional requests for headphones and a blanket were also ignored. Collectively, these oversights contributed to one of the most unsatisfactory flight experiences I have ever had. The overall demeanor of the crew appeared disengaged and indifferent, as if they were uninterested in their roles. There was no greeting during boarding and no acknowledgment or farewell upon disembarking. While my time in Hawaii was wonderful, the return flight was unfortunately overshadowed by these issues. Additionally, the cleanliness of the aircraft was unacceptable. The menus were visibly soiled with grease and stains. I have photographs available should you wish to review them. The window beside my seat had hair embedded in it, surrounded by grease, and my seat was dirty enough that I had to clean it myself using my husband's blanket. This level of service and cleanliness is far below reasonable expectations, and I hope these concerns are taken seriously to improve future passenger experiences.

    I haven't flown United in a while. It's ok. They take longer to board than other airlines. They're also behind the times. Other airlines have screens in back of the seats for movies and games. United offers movies, but it has to be on your own device on this plane. Some of their other planes have screens behind the seats. One positive is that they offer complimentary dinner. We flew out of Honolulu on the way to Houston on an 8pm flight. We got a choice of grilled chicken salad or pasta salad. We got one of each to try. We liked the grilled chicken salad better. It had quinoa with black beans. We also got complimentary drinks. I got cranberry juice. The hubby got coffee. Service was good. The flight attendants were nice and made jokes.

    Did anyone else got sick on a flight from SFO to HNL on July 12, 2025. Left SFO at 1700 (delayed) and arrived in HNL around 7pm. Flight number UA300. We were on a first class flight that day. My BF and I were served a meal. After eating and when we got home (we didn't eat anything from the airport to home), we both had diarrhea and vomiting for 3 days. I emailed United and complained and they told me that they cannot confirm if we did get sick from their meal that we consume. So if you're on the same flight in first class, pls comment and let me know. You may email to me at gabril6@yahoo.com Thank you. Will never fly first class and will never eat United food again.

    One bag per bin but we are on 100 full plane and no back packs overhead
    Dede C.

    Boarding was awful. Told us to only put rollers on top bins but on one side only one roller per bin fits. Who designed this. On a flight from HNL to den a long flight. The attendant couldn't even fix it. Move me to be with my bag or move someone else's bag closer to that spot. Each person on board should have one overhead bin to them or one side of the bin. Or stop allowing particular rollers if the wheels are too long. Customer service. Expensive tickets. All need to be reviewed here. I see there is a phone holder that is awesome unlike other planes. To be more accommodating would be more reasonable. WiFi for free like Hawaiian.

    No leg room and I'm short
    Mia S.

    Basic economy class. The planes got me to and from my destination safe. Regretfully, there were no TV monitors on the back of the seats and the flight was about 5 hours. Lucky for me, I downloaded movies to my iPad in advance but forgot my headphones. The airline was able to provide a free pair. Doable but not the best quality. You can order snacks according to the type of flight you're on. Domestic or International. Minimal selection on allergy friendly choices. Beverage service is average.

    Great to be home after 28 hours on United then Alaska airlines. What surprised me was the luggage we sent on at Ft. Lauderdale arrived on the same carousel as the 2 gate checked luggage from Seattle. Although the tickets were purchased through United, the Alaska air flights had no movie screen and you definitely should purchase a meal before boarding those flights.

    Lots of leg room

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

Continuing on, the transition has not been the easiest I'm sure for the traveler, the airline employees and all others who were involved however slight in this marriage of Pualani and the Eskimo. The backhouse infrastructure is in full force and effect, and very noticeable starting with the reservation and check in processes. The combination of backhouse staffing was in the works over the past few years and has now come full circle. The jury is out still and all we can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best. The front of the house still uses the Pualani logo and designs in the terminal and on the flights (my first review outlines this) Gate and boarding area for interisland and domestic flights remain the same (so far). For the Hawaiian traveler, you will have many more options with Alaska especially on the domestic front. For the Alaska traveler, it's much easier now for you to visit the land of Aloha.!

    I'm not usually one to complain, but I felt this experience was worth sharing…read more While flying from Portland to Honolulu, I listened to a presentation about the Atmos credit card. The offer sounded very attractive: sign up for the card and receive 85,000 bonus points after meeting what was described as a relatively small spending requirement. Based on that information, I applied for the card when I got home. About two weeks later, I called customer service to ask about the bonus points. The first representative told me I needed to spend $4,000 to qualify. Later, another representative gave me different information, saying I should wait one or two billing cycles, or two to four weeks, for the points to appear. What makes this especially frustrating is that I previously had a Hawaiian Airlines credit card and membership and never had any issues. Everything was straightforward, and the benefits were delivered as promised. At this point, I'm confused about the requirements and timeline. I hope the bonus points arrive soon, but the information presented on the airplane does not seem to match the information I received afterward from customer service. I'm sharing this experience so others can carefully review the terms and conditions and know exactly what is required before applying.

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.

All my reviews while on vacation are on my TripAdvisor account. Me and my other half's first time flying on JAL was way back when the airline use to operate the B747 between Honolulu and Narita. I purposely booked this flight because my cousin and his other half had specific dates on their flight itinerary using One World Alliance Airlines. JAL is a part of One World serving all of Japan, across Asia, USA and many destinations around the world with partners including Cathay Pacific. Booking online is easy. Online check-in wasn't successful, but with 3 hours check-in time, it was sufficient. Having Global Entry membership allows you to expedite security with TSA Precheck only in Honolulu or another US Airport. I must say, all of JAL's ground staff from check-in to boarding were exceptional, efficient and friendly! While seated in economy, service is fantastic. Free onboard entertainment on each seat back IFE. WiFi is only complimentary in Business and First Class. My other half had his customer and his partner sitting in Premium Economy on this flight segment as well as the connecting flight from HND-TSA. Between Honolulu and Haneda, onboard amenities were a pillow & blanket, earphones, eye shades, complimentary meals including a pre-arrival snack, complimentary alcohol including red or white wine, and beer. Fortunately this wasn't a completely full load of passengers, I was able to lay down in the middle row the whole entire flight! This flight departed from Gate D2, but decided to visit a Starbucks with air con as we waited for our flight to depart. Maybe in the future if we're booked in Business or Premium Economy I'd update my review for later.

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.

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.
