    April 22, 2026 was the day the Alaska Eskimo and the Hawaiian Pualani officially married.... and this here is an update to my skimpy review of yesterday. 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.! Happy Traveling (ps- 4th star for the unending dedication by the remaining Hawaiian Employee Alumi)

    Honolulu Alaska Air check in. Stand in line with both your hand carry and checked luggage to be scanned. Next, You need to scan your boarding pass or check in on the app in order to print your luggage tags. Proceed to bag drop with an agent. You can request a wheel chair to the gate here if needed. Go through TSA check point then continue on to your gate. We are presently waiting at Gate E2. Comfortable temperature( spaghetti straps and t shirts, not many passengers wearing their jackets yet. Very soothing background music being played. A few passed out since early wake up to get to the airport for the first flight out. Fingers crossed for smooth flight as we've experienced Kona low storm the past few days. Weather forecast predicted rain at 6 a.m. so far so good.

    I booked a round trip flight via online app to AK a few months in advance. Received an email the night before that my HA departure flight will leave Monday morning instead of Sunday evening, contact the airlines for rescheduling or refund. Hoped and prayed that there will be a change in email or flight status. My thoughts, "Hell no, I refuse to be late for my younger sister's wedding!" My intuition told me go sleep now. Plan of action: wake up a few hours later, if no changes via online app and email, call HA first, followed by AK. I woke up in the wee hours Sunday morning, called HA and was informed my flights are connected, and my flights were booked with AK, HA agent will connect me now to AK agent. Thanked HA agent. Immediately connected with Alaska Airlines agent named Hope. Hope informed me that all my flights are connected. I inquired with Hope if there's a departure flight to SEA available for same day? I would like to keep my connecting flight and departure flight the same. She rescheduled my departure flight which is now AK to Sunday afternoon so I wouldn't miss my connecting flight from SEA to ANC early Monday morning. She kept my connecting and departure flights the same. I thanked Hope for her help and attention to rescheduling for free before we ended the call. Best part - there were no additional charges, remained calm under duress. Hope and Alaska Airlines crew were lifesavers!

    How is this crap even legal? I guess receipts are optional now? Since Alaska Air took over Hawaiian it's gone to Crap. The telephone number's handy if you have a couple hours to spare waiting on hold. Swimming would be a better option

    Traveling to the Continental USA from Honolulu via Alaska Airlines for the first time... because Hawaiian Airlines, my usual carrier, doesn't fly to New Jersey! Booking a ticket online was easy! I even was emailed an update when the flight times of one of the legs of this trip changed. I was able to check-in online, got my Departure Gate, and received my boarding passes on my phone, too! Service was excellent at the gate because passengers were offered free check-in luggage for our carry-on bags - since there's limited overhead compartment space. I volunteered my bag. It should arrive tomorrow in New Jersey when we get there. On board, flight attendants were extremely helpful when I showed them my bleeding finger. I was given 2 band-aids and antibiotic ointment! One flight attendant even dabbed the pooling blood from my finger before it dripped! LOL! The seat has great support for the back! The headrest has side flaps to prevent leaning on the persons sitting next to me. Because I have T-Mobile, Wi-Fi is free on board! Otherwise, it would be $8. I can watch many movies, text, and write Yelp reviews! Haha! Overall, the flight was relatively smooth and uneventful. We had some turbulent sessions before we landed, but nothing major. I appreciate the Biscoff cookies, Pretzels with Monk Fruit/garlic seasoning, and cups of water and guava juice! Cony and Brown even received chocolates and a pair of flight wings!!! Thank you, Alaska Airlines, for a safe, fun adventure! Thanks to my friends for texting, complimenting, and making comments on my posts... I didn't have time to watch any movies!

    (Traveled 08/29/24 TH @ 2:05pm and several times before and after): I'll ask ya... how was the flight!? Alaska Airlines recently became one of my favorite airlines, and by default my airline of choice to/from Honolulu, Hawaii to visit while I checked on the property my family recently acquired and a few new clients I picked up along the way. Additionally, they've also become my airline of choice to/from Newark, New Jersey. Although my favorite domestic carrier Southwest Airlines flew to Hawaii, their fares always seemed to be a tad higher and oftentimes didn't have direct flights. Plus, I was able to get mileage points! This was my story: PURCHASE One-Way Coach Cabin Super Saver Airfare ($148.20): Since I booked the flight roughly three months before its departure, this fare was within my comfort level of $150.00 for any one-way domestic air travel during the high season (summer months). On an afternoon flight out of Honolulu HNL that arrived in Los Angeles LAX https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=KmZs01gm6Lhobxj3ei_CbA around 9:45pm the same day, the one-way flight departed and nearly arrived on-time. Checked Luggage (N/A): Thankfully, I traveled light and only had a carry-on and backpack. Otherwise, they customarily charged $30.00/bag. With the exception of Southwest Airlines or you were a high-ranking passenger, basically all carriers charged for checked luggage. C'est la vie... FLIGHT EXPERIENCE ~Check-in: I checked-in online 24-hours prior, had my QR code boarding pass on their app, and traveled with only a carry-on and backpack, so I was ready to go! Then, it was off to the security checkpoints and through the necessary TSA Pre-Check pleasantries (thankfully, all the passengers knew what they needed to do). Once that was done, I was released to my plane's gate and left to my own devices with the sadness that always came when having to return home to reality - bummer! ~Seats: Come on, it was the same sardine can like all airplanes these days, so unless you were in Business or First Class you got to know your neighbors to the left, right, front, and back of you! ~In-flight Meals/Snacks (Varied; only snacks this instance): The drink cart along with a small packaged snack https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=5xNtgrUalPa_sGREd-lc6A came out once we were at coasting altitude. Alcohol and some kind of food were made available for purchase. I normally didn't purchase such things on a flight. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=euZWS7R8AReVqC1aNuaOHA ~Lavatory: I got my business done at the one in the back of the plane. Plenty of toilet paper, paper towels, and facial tissues... but could've been cleaned more often. ~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. Because of the afternoon flight time, the attendants didn't come around as often which was fine in this case. There were no carry-on baggage fees. PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I was traveling through and had no need to park. However, the airport offered onsite parking structures with rates that varied from FREE (less than 15 minutes) to $25.00/daily maximum. Because this was located within Terminal 2 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! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&select=_vCaZ6Yb83pmvgQXQgX8AQ 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 flight on Alaska Airlines out of HNL was fine and got me home safely which truthfully was all that mattered to me on any domestic 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 $148.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! 4.0 STARS

    I have been a Pualani Platinum for over 20 years and now an Atmos Gold. Since the "merger" customer service has gone to crap. I should have been sitting in extra comfort with my child on the way to the mainland. Got bumped to the back and in order to sit together I had to give up her upgrade. Now I want a refund for the seat upgrade and we will see how that goes. So far Alaska is truly a discount airlines, not Costco discount but Walmart ghetto discount.

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!

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).

An hour before scheduled time to leave I got a text for delayed flight for 16 hours!!! No United worker was there at the gate or desk to speak with, phone calls had me on wait for more than 45 min. I walked to every airline looking for a flight and it was all too late to book. I took the earliest available flight and missed my son's graduation! thanks United!

    *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.

    Flying Internationally…read more.. My friend asked me if I wanted to go on vacation with her. Right away, I said, "Sure!" She sent me her itinerary and I booked online (through CheapOair) the exact same trip that she did. We weren't able to sit next to each other because we checked in separately, but when we reached Manila, we changed our seats to sit together for the second leg of our trip. Service was very professional and friendly. Staff were polite and helpful. I asked for a can of Coke twice (instead of getting a cup) and they gave it to me - with a cup of ice - no problem! I was really happy with all of the free stuff! Besides 2 meals (choice of Western or Filipino) and a snack of ham and cheese sandwich, we got free headphones, movies (I watched (About Time), television shows (finally saw Fresh Off The Boat), music (I listened to Kenny Loggins), house slippers, and a pouch filled with eye mask, socks, and toothbrush/toothpaste. Wow! The air conditioning on the plane was great! I used my jacket and even put their thin blanket on my lap and used the pillow on my back. Overall, we had a great experience and I look forward to flying Philippine Airlines again!

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.

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.

    The last time we stayed here, we were in the Rainbow Tower. This time, we stayed in the Tapa Tower…read more As always, the staff was friendly, helpful, and provided excellent service. My biggest issue with the hotel is that it's showing its age. The rooms and facilities feel outdated, and I don't think the current room rates reflect the condition of the property. Also, if you're looking to save on parking, park by the pier instead. It's much more affordable than paying the hotel's $65 per day parking fee.

    All I have to say is be VERY careful what room you think you're booking here as the pictures they…read moreadvertise are not the rooms with the views you end up getting. You can tell by the manager's responses to all of the negative reviews here that there is no desire to make any negative experiences right for the customer. There is an apology that it didn't live up to standard and an "I hope you give us a try next time". Let that be the baseline for the customer service you'll receive if you choose to stay at this hotel. We arrived in late July with our friend and two young kids. We get to our "ocean view" at the Rainbow Tower which we paid extra for only to find a gigantic tree blocking the view we believed we paid for. We called to the front desk and Annie very rudely dismissed us before telling us to come downstairs to prove that our view wasn't as the pictures showed when we booked it. She told us to head down to the Mail Drop line and when we got there we're told we were at the wrong place. We then argued with a manager (can't remember her name anymore) for I'd say a good hour. First, we were actually told the manager bounces between towers and wasn't at the Rainbow Tower which ended up being untrue as we saw her in the back when we came down and she ended up being the one to talk to us. We asked to be moved to a different room and we were told this very partial ocean view we got with the room we paid for titled "ocean view" was exactly what we paid for because if we wanted an ocean view we had to book "ocean front". Yet, if you book an ocean view room on their website or through Expedia, the view they advertise is a full ocean view. We definitely felt gaslit and like we were crazy for asking to be moved to a room we paid for. They finally agreed to move us to a "lagoon view" saying they didn't have any ocean front rooms because they're so busy that they're full 365 days of the year. (Meaning they don't really need our business, I'm guessing.) We were not happy with the lagoon view because we paid for an ocean view, but we ultimately had no choice but to concede and they said they would reimburse our resort fees. What's sad is that the employee knew how to work the system more than the manager. Also, another man came down with the same complaints as us, but no employees acknowledged him so he waved his hand, and stormed off. It's been over a month since this happened, and my friend who booked separately from us (who had the same issue) has yet to receive her reimbursement. They said they mailed the check and she never received it. She's been calling them and has received no reply. The elevator situation at the Rainbow Tower is also horrible. Supposedly, they're working out the kinks, but be prepared for long waits and very crowded elevators when you want to go anywhere. Another tip if you choose to stay here. Do NOT bother paying for the cabana at the Tapa pool. We did and no one walks you to the cabana. They tell you to open it up and set it up yourself after they hand you a few waters at the towel stand. There's no food or drink service, and you have to go to the bar next to it to get your food or drinks. It's also very isolated from anything fun. We booked 2 Casabellas at the Super Pool the next day. They were cheaper and MUCH better. They had food and drink service and the server was awesome and the towel desk takes you to them and opens them up for you. Cabanas are a bust and a total waste of money. Overall, the customer service at this hotel is awful and I can only assume it's because they don't need our business since they're full 365 days a year... as they informed us. The nice thing about the hotel is that it has shops and restaurants attached, but it's extremely crowded. Do yourself a favor and book elsewhere.

    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.

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.
