Hawaiian Airlines

We had a nice flight from HNL to SFO. An Airbus A330.

Domestically, Hawaiian charge for each bag, which is a little different from their international allowance. Never mind. Same as pretty much all other airlines.

The check-in was probably no more organised than those back in NZ.

All kiosk. A couple of guys hovering around that can't answer more than the simplest questions.













Any hard questions, or to pay for you bags with cash, join that ticketing queue.
















A couple of funny things onboard.

First, the business class (they call it first over here), is just in front of economy, and there is nothing but a mesh curtain to separate the two zones.













Next, I was watching the cleaners out the window.
They had come back in from an aircraft, and needed to dump the rubbish.
They drove their truck up to a dumpster. Somebody flicked open the dumpster lid, and the girls tossed the bags straight off the truck into the dumpster. Very efficient.







What isn't the same as other airlines, is that they are probably the only Amrikan airline to give meals to everybody. EVERYBODY.  Even us back in cattle class. And very nice, it was, too.
Also, free TV and a bunch of movies. What they don't tell you is that you need to bring your own headphones, if you don't want to buy some onboard. So remember to take with.
