As a native of Maui, I am so glad & thankful to have lived through so many years flying Hawaiian Air since the years of propeller-powered DC-3’s & Convairs. These Dreamliners will certainly be dreams come true! Proud that Hawaiian Air worked so hard w/ contracted teams to reflect the ever-present, fragile natural world of our Islands in the cabin design details. I did notice one little detail which I hope Avi M. & Alisha O. on the Hawaiian Air Team will choose to revise. If Hawaiian Air is, in fact, aiming for images of the traditional native experience, the shadows on the cabin walls would be far better off if they were of plants OTHER THAN the invasive Monstera deliciosa. Hawai’i would be better represented by palapalai & laua’e fern, maile, ‘ie’ie, coco palm fronds inside to complement Pualani’s hibiscus blossom on the 787’s tail rudder on the outside. Here’s another idea: When flying Hawaiian Air in the 50’s & 60’s, I remember the graceful Hawaiian Air women employees dressed in mu’umu’u & red carnation lei who greeted us near the luggage claim area & served chilled pineapple juice in Hawaiian Air logo paper cups. Perhaps the HA Dreamliner should resurrect that ground service; it would go perfectly as yet another part of Hawaiian Air’s travel history. Aloha & Mahalo, Hawaiian Air!
Gotta fix the upgraded resevation system and train the outsourced contract people. Been flying Hawaiian for many years, but this year has been terrible. Seats changed to the back section of the aircraft that separated my son's family from their 2 sons that are 4 and 2 years old. Then charged him upgraded seats which he aldeady paid for. Call 4 times, but only on the 4th call the agent decided to help. Other 3 said the couldn't help or couldn't get a supervisor. This happened on both round trip segments. Excuse equipment change. Funny same type of aircraft with same seat configuration. Because of this he will not fly Hawaiian again. As for me, changed my seat from 21C to 60C without notifying me. Good thing I always check. We visit family every year in Hawaii and like the inflight service. Have relatives and friends that work at or retired from Hawaiian.
Several comments are asking what routes the 787 will fly. I can only tell you what was reported in airline/aviation trade magazines from about 2 years ago is that HA will be putting the 787 on its Asia/Oceana routes, meaning Japan, New Zealand, and Australia. Subject to change, of course.
@@sanitman1488 The Honolulu-Orlando route was discontinued close to a year ago. I was sorry to see it go, it was the whole reason I decided to make a trip to HI in the first place.
There’s no reason to use a 787 to the West Coast, where they fly their A330s, which are great for 5.5 hour flights. 2-2-2 seating is spacious, but a bit exposed. They aren’t competitive with JAL/ANA/Qantas, though. This reverse herringbone mini-cabin definitely is. Plus it has an island vibe. They’ll probably be used for premium East Coast runs, too - those are HA’s longest at around 10 hours, aren’t they?
Everyone at Hawaiian and those working with them did a great job on the design. You couldn’t have chosen a better aircraft to use on your long haul, the Boeing 787 is a great aircraft.
Wow - that Hawaiian livery looks fantastic on the 787 (at the very end)! A real head-turner at airports. In the business class seats, it looks like each seat is minus an armrest across from the console where you put stuff (the console looks really nice and wide). I’m not sure about that idea at all. At first I thought the couple had them down, but even the solo seat looks minus an armrest. The color scheme is super nice and very Hawaiian. I expect the service will be the same as on the A330, which is very gracious and relaxed. The food is always good, with an authentic island flavors. I’m a fan of Hawaiian - I don’t expect them to fly the 787 on 5.5 hour West Coast flights (why have lie-flat seats?) but I hope I’m wrong.
I am a CFI working in USA as a foreigner. Trying to work out the visa problem so I can work at the Hawaiian airlines!! I have 4years of OPT that allows me to work in USA. Hopefully some of the 'proper' airlines such as Hawaiian give visa sponsorship to F-1 visa students👍
I really hope the HNL-LHR routing is still a possibility as it was pre Covid. Would love to see A Hawaiian 787 plane at London. I might even fly the route.
Agreed. There are many other destinations that are Hawaii-like, such as Indonesia, Thailand, Canary Islands, most Med countries, and even Malaysia that are closer to the UK, not to mention cheaper, than the 14 hr polar-route flight between LHR & HNL.
I agree but it won't sell as well although HA can do a HNL-JFK-LHR if applicable to do so. Stop wait on the return trip back to Honolulu from London you can simply clear Customs at JFK so that way you are treated as a domestic passenger between Honolulu and JFK Airport. That's the same principle as UA MNL-EWR via Guam and Honolulu or DL MNL-EWR post NW merger via DTW and NRT. Basically, you use one of the u.s. airports as an international entry point and then domestic to your final destination. *DTW has strict procedures when entering US from Asia MNL via NRT/NGO*
@@johniii8147 for what reason exactly? Some DL flights inherited from NW were like that take such as NW071 EWR-MNL via NGO & DTW. DL172/173 was MNL-MIA via NRT & JFK
So excited! I always fly Hawaiian airlines - it feels like ciming home even before i land on maui. Just hoping that at some point the airport on maui can get a much needed upgrade to match our stellar airline!
@@rare2917Hawaiian expects its first delivery in Q4 of this year, around November. Then another three 787’s in 2024. Not sure exactly on entry of service.
Finally something new, the A330’s was showing its age. A321Neos are nice but nothing can beat a wide body aircraft on those long flights. I, like many others who fly HAL frequently actually wants to know the route the 787’s will be flying. And for those that’s complaining and bitchin about how HAL’s service has fallin, you do know y’all can always fly with another airline right 😵💫; SW, UA, DA, AA etc etc.
I imagine the first aircraft will be used Tran-Pacific to Australia and Japan. Stateside, I see East Coast. These aircraft are designed for premium long-hauls, with lie-flat mini-suite cabins. They would be a waste on the typical 5.5 hour non-stops up and down the West Coast (SEA, PDX, SFO, LAS, LAX, SAN). I guess it could happen if they used them SEA-HNL-SYD, as an example. The PDX-HNL flight often goes on to SYD (or at least did before the pandemic).
I hope this will enable them to come further into the states, rather than just the West Coast. After moving out of California, I haven't been able to find any affordable flights without staying over in other places which costs more, too.
I sure hope this means in-flight service will be improved. I recently flew on a round-trip flight from Sacramento to Oahu and was surprise by how much the service has been downgraded prior to the last time I flew on Hawaiian.
I still wonder why they didn't go with the A330-NEO. Still, I am excited to see the 787 in the Hawaiin livery. I hope with the increased range the Dreamliner has that they'll expand to new destinations, maybe even Europe.
Boeing basically offered the 787 for free at that point, and with the delivery delays at the time for the A350-800 which then became a A330-800 order, Boeing entered the room and Hawaiian swapped over.
Mostly due to price Boeing heavily discounted the 787 and “was determined to win at any cost”. Hawaiian wanted out of the -800neo since it was the only customer at the time and airbus couldn’t sell the a350 below the cost of producing the planes unlike Boeing which “offered the 787-9 to Hawaiian for less than $115m and maybe less than $100m”.
Plus i MUCH prefer the 1 2 1 seating arrangement in business class on the 787. As opposed to the 2 2 2 layout on the A330. More privacy on the 787 especially on a window seat which i prefer.
Unless you’re flying from the East Coast, it probably won’t happen. Hawaiian is going to focus these planes on premium routes to the Far East and Australia where they compete with Qantas/JAL/ANA/Korean. No need for a lie-flat mini-suite for 5.5 hours to the West Coast! The A330 is fine for those routes. If you need real 1-2-1 privacy, I think American may still be flying Flagship First from Dallas (that may have gone away during the pandemic).
@@tomtalker2000 I don’t think you’ll be flying on a Hawaiian 787 anytime soon, but I could be wrong. It’ll likely be an A330, which isn’t bad. The service is very Hawaiian!
I can't WAIT too fly this jet in business class for my 50th birthday 2 week bucket list trip to Hawaii. I thought i'd be on their A330 which i wouldn't mind either. But flying non stop from Boston Logan to Honolulu i would much prefer the new 787-9. Last i heard they took delivery of 11 787's but Covid pushed back there launch date. I think they will have a few in service by the end of this year and the remaining bunch by 2026. Either way i'm really excited and hope i'll be on one of these beauties for my trip. I'm rather surprised though they went with Boeing instead of a new fleet of A330-NEO's.
@@tomtalker2000 This was from 5 months ago. They have none delivered yet. This was flight testing you are refering to which is stantand.

I really like the 787 and regularly travel Hawaiian. I was initially very excited about the news, but the 3-3-3 configuration in the economy cabin isn’t as nice as 2-4-2. This will likely result in narrower seats as well.
@@johniii8147 I don’t think the seats will be any narrower in the Y cabins than the A330. I’m surprised HA didn’t remove seats for premium economy (2-3-2) , though, to be competitive with Qantas and the Japanese and Korean carriers. Probably too difficult to integrate with its domestic system, I guess. I happen to think there’d be a domestic market for real premium economy for families who can’t justify 2 kids and 2 adults in domestic F, but don’t want to be crammed into 17”-wide seats with 30” pitch for a ‘vacation’.
@@pacmanc8103 I'm not surprised. It's primarily a leisure market. They actually don't really compete with other carriers. QF uses Jetstar primarily now into Hawaii.
The TPG article mentioned it will first be used on West Coast routes where Hawaiian's mainland maintenance facilities are located, before eventually expanding to use on the Boston and international Pacific routes.
Aloha Dayna, thank you for contacting us. Our Boeing 787 will initially be used on April 15, 2024 with daily service between Honolulu (HNL) and San Francisco (SFO) through May 14, followed by select flights between Honolulu (HNL) and Los Angeles (LAX) starting May 14, and Maui (OGG) and Los Angeles (LAX) from May 15.

The interior of your new Boeing 787 Dreamliner is so beautiful, and tastefully executed. I'm sure the passengers will already have the feeling that they are in Hawaii from the moment they board the plane. If I should ever win some money, Hawaii would be my dream destination. Flying a Hawaiian 787 acrross the Pacific would actually take care of three firsts for me. Unfortunately as a recent senior citizen, this will probably never happen ...but I can always keep dreaming and hoping, right? 🌴 ☀ 🏖
You have to give Hawaiian Air one major credit: they're one of the few airlines that have never once killed a passenger. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Oz's Quantas has the same claim to fame, never killing a passenger in the many decades these two airlines have been around.
I’m really happy that Hawaiian airlines decided to take delivery of the Boeing 787
No bullshit hopefully
They should’ve bought the 787 a long time ago over the A330. The only reason why they got A330 was their former CEO was a British guy

When are you guys going to fly the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner to Phoenix?✈️
Looks great!!
🙏🦋❤️🌏👨👩👧👦Love from Kempten
You and the girls will go son to celebrate Sophi's birthday ❤
phew i thought you got rid of it
Flights direct to Manila would be nice.
Looking very nice.
I really like the 787 and regularly travel Hawaiian. I was initially very excited about the news, but the 3-3-3 configuration in the economy cabin isn’t as nice as 2-4-2. This will likely result in narrower seats as well.
Fly the premium cabin and problem solved.
@@johniii8147 I don’t think the seats will be any narrower in the Y cabins than the A330. I’m surprised HA didn’t remove seats for premium economy (2-3-2) , though, to be competitive with Qantas and the Japanese and Korean carriers. Probably too difficult to integrate with its domestic system, I guess. I happen to think there’d be a domestic market for real premium economy for families who can’t justify 2 kids and 2 adults in domestic F, but don’t want to be crammed into 17”-wide seats with 30” pitch for a ‘vacation’.
@@pacmanc8103 I'm not surprised. It's primarily a leisure market. They actually don't really compete with other carriers. QF uses Jetstar primarily now into Hawaii.
Looks really great! Any idea what cities it will be flying out from?
The TPG article mentioned it will first be used on West Coast routes where Hawaiian's mainland maintenance facilities are located, before eventually expanding to use on the Boston and international Pacific routes.
I can confirm Honolulu. 😂
Beautiful livery!!!!
What are the anticipated routes? BOS, JFK, SYD, LAX, or SFO perhaps?
They have yet to formally announce routes.
Did your 787s get delivered?!?! If so I’m so excited for you guys and I hope I fly on it one day!!!!
no they havent yet
I believe Nov 2023 is when first one arrives. They won't start flying passengers until early next year
@@chanman5821 okay thanks!
November
@@mmm0404 Given all the delays, Nov is best case scenario at the this. Who really knows when it will get delivered.
When will 787 be operating out of San Diego to Maui? San Diego always seems to get older planes.
Aloha Dayna, thank you for contacting us. Our Boeing 787 will initially be used on April 15, 2024 with daily service between Honolulu (HNL) and San Francisco (SFO) through May 14, followed by select flights between Honolulu (HNL) and Los Angeles (LAX) starting May 14, and Maui (OGG) and Los Angeles (LAX) from May 15. We encourage you to stay tuned for any future announcements. For more information, you may visit: www.hawaiianairlines.com/our-services/at-the-airport/our-fleet/b787. Mahalo.
Should of went with the A330 Neo
I'm the 9th person to watch this video!
If you would spend as long on passenger comfort and food and drinks, that would be great.
Congrats! It looks amazing.
The interior of your new Boeing 787 Dreamliner is so beautiful, and tastefully executed. I'm sure the passengers will already have the feeling that they are in Hawaii from the moment they board the plane. If I should ever win some money, Hawaii would be my dream destination. Flying a Hawaiian 787 acrross the Pacific would actually take care of three firsts for me. Unfortunately as a recent senior citizen, this will probably never happen ...but I can always keep dreaming and hoping, right? 🌴 ☀ 🏖
You have to give Hawaiian Air one major credit: they're one of the few airlines that have never once killed a passenger. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Oz's Quantas has the same claim to fame, never killing a passenger in the many decades these two airlines have been around.
Beautiful! But please keep the A330 on the BOS to HNL route, please.
