    Bottled water and large entertainment screen in first class
    Steven H.

    We had a fantastic experience with American from Kahului to LAX. I see that many of these bad reviews are related to either the airport itself (i.e. a dirty bathroom?), another American airport, the AA app, or "old planes". If you are flying to/from LAX to ANY Hawaiian island you will be on Americans brand new Airbus A321 aircraft. They all have leather seats in both cabins as well as large screens with free movies and entertainment. If you are flying to/from Phoenix keep in mind this is an old US Airways route and you may get that "old plane" that some are complaining about. We checked in about 90 minutes before departure time and there was no one in line. We were though security in just a couple minutes as well. The boarding process started right on time and we even left early. We were lucky to be sitting in First class thanks to our miles. We had a large Dasani bottled water at our seat (like coach) and a nice leather seat with a big screen. The food was very good for "airline" food. They served ahi tuna on rice, a salad with lilikoi dressing and hoisin short ribs with mashed potatoes along with warm taro rolls or hawaiian rolls. I was pretty impressed with the quality of the meal. A fully loaded ice cream sundae with macadamia nuts was offered for dessert. The flight attendant working up front provided evreryone with great service for the 5 hours back to LAX. I would not hesitate to book American again to Maui, we had a great experience.

    This old plane. Showing its age. Us hasn't been around in two years.

    Don't fly AA out of OGG. AA puts the worst planes on this route... Beat up seats, old planes that show their age, and really awful configurations. Right now I'm sitting on a plane from.... Guess it?!? ATA!!! No individual tvs and awful configuration straight out of a nightmare. This is a leisure heavy route so that makes sense but I really recommend flying hnl to dfw where you get a full lie flat at least. AA needs to invest a bit on this route! Torture tube route!!

Kahului Airport (or the OGG) is still basically the same as my last visit! No frills type of airport - safely land & the payoff is the lovely view of the island of Maui...and the smell of paradise! Worth it if you ask me! Oh, and now they've got a California Pizza Kitchen too now in the terminal's food court - only one on the entire island! I don't care if the Kahului Airport hasn't been fully modernized yet to today's standards and I don't care if there's no slot machines by the gates (HA!) - I love when I fly back into this place! It indeed truly still feels like HOME to me! Stay the same, my nostalgia thanks you!

    We're on Maui, my new service dog is on Hawaii, after looking at the well known commercial airlines…read morewhose schedules didn't work for us, I found Mokulele. I needed to go from Kahalui to Waimea and boy was this easy. Small planes, with really nice staff, from counter to pilots. Our flights were easy, quick and fun. You can no longer watch the cockpit on regular flights, but you can watch the take off and landing on these flights, so much FUN. We met our dog in Waimea and came right back to Maui. So simple. The only negative is that our schedule changed several times but nothing that really made a difference for us. I will definitely use them again in the future. So easy to get from island to island without having to go through Oahu.

Way too many ownership changes over the years for one to expect quality to still be in the top 5 company goals. I had multiple reservations/flights cancelled for BS reasons and then customer service was terrible every fricken time I called - no idea where the call center is, but it's crap too. The last time, they didn't even bother to process the refund I had called to request in the first place so I had to call back and burn another 30 minutes on the phone to do it all over again. Wasted more than 5 hours of my life between setting up flights with the transport of an animal between the islands and then having to request refunds because they would cancel the flights 24-36 hours in advance for one of a multitude of reasons which was different depending on who I talked to. First it was an "unscheduled maintenance", then it was "staffing", then it was "regular maintenance with no back up plane planned" and finally "weather related" and "unforeseen circumstances". And each and every time, the flights were cancelled more than 24 hours in advance...what in the actual FFF? Over and over again during the course of a week of flights, they'll happily sell you tickets on flights they just continually (planned to) cancel. STOP SELLING TICKETS if you can't actually supply the flights. Get your sh*t together or close up shop. Don't waste your time booking and just avoid the nightmare.

    Went from free seating to assigned seating. They now make you sit in seats where they put you in…read morethe most uncomfortable seats possible. Many rows in the back were open and they had me sitting next to an elderly couple. I had moved to an open row and they forced me to make the older couple move together so I could sit there. They're excuse is "because the plane is balanced" Before when they had open seating they only required a certain number of people to sit in the back part of plane and didn't specify where just as long as it was in the back. Probably another ploy for corporate greed so you buy your seating.

This past Wednesday I booked last minute tickets on Southwest and had ZERO problems with them. They were super accommodating with us and our toddler. On our flight over, we had a whole row to ourselves and my baby did such a great job on her first plane ride. Another plus is now you don't have to get off on the tarmac and walk 100 miles like before. Tyj. Everything with Southwest went great and I will continue to choose them over and over again because they are affordable and are open seating. The employees at both HNL and OGG were all great. It's still 2 free checked bags for now. Not sure when that is changing but I'll take it for now and if they are still cheaper than Hawaiian, I'll still continue to fly with them. Check them out.
