It's so entertaining to watch when people travel!
Love the videos! My husband and I just discovered you so we subscribed. I was a flight attendant years ago and still love to travel. Right now we are flying vicariously through you mate.
Thank you Beatrix, welcome to the channel. Glad you enjoy the videos. I hope you enjoy all the future posts.
I love Honolulu airport....the open-air plan......such a spotter heaven.
Very nice review of Hawaiian Business class. Thanks
Thank you Dennis, glad you enjoyed it.
Hawaiian Air flies HNL-BOS (11hr 40 min). Many other South Pacific destinations are also longer than the Tokyo flight. Thanks for the videos.
Ahhh good to know thanks for letting me know.
Yes, and that's the longest scheduled domestic commercial flight in the USA.
Sydney and Auckland are both longer than Tokyo too.
Hi, I'm a flight attendant with HAL and I'm bummed I wasn't working your flight. I regularly fly to HND around 2X a month and am usually the lead or purser. You were actually seated in 3J and you completely missed showing the Japanese selection on the menu which wasn't that great if I recall correctly but the best choice of the Western selections was the papardelle with cream sauce. Great trip report though... Enjoyed it immensely !
PLUS this HAL has some of THE lowest biz class fares on this city pair
Others can be $1,000 more
I use 2 fly for business meetings and I enjoyed it
But now I don’t care 2 fly
But I love watching the videos
I love your very good feedback about Hawaiian Airlines and the Comfort that they provide to their guests.. I'm planning a trip to Osaka, Tokyo Soon. Thanks for making it easy
I really enjoy flying. I have been flying my entire life.
That hair thou.🤣
Almost a trade mark now.
IKR!!!!
makes me feel less self conscious
Lol.
I'll be flying to Oahu next year and your video was very helpful! Hope you had a good time in Tokyo.
Your hair matches the JAL logo!! 😂
Indeed it does.
Hawaiian Air’s longest International flight would be HNL to SYD, (10 to 10 1/2 hours). Domestically, it’s BOS to HNL with strong head winds in the winter will push flight times to 13 hours.
Yep indeed, I missed that. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the video. I wouldn’t waste my money flying business with Hawaiian after seeing that.
Thank you for another Cool video!! I enjoyed it!
Thank you for watching it and the comment.
From what I remember, Nadi, Fiji, airport is also outdoor in part.
Yes, there are a fair amount of outdoor airports around the world, I really like them all.
Bro the two fav of my places I wanna go ❤
another nice video, you always show what I like to see. And your hairstyle is awesome too ;))
lol thanks Frank, glad you enjoyed it.
Love Hawaiian...and Hawaii itself of course! In a nutshell, it's the one US airline that feels more like a higher tier Asia-Pacific carrier.
Glad you enjoy them and I Agree with you, they are still nice to fly V some of the main land airlines.
I love flying. Bit anxious on the ascension and decension but it’s never stopped me.
Keep on flying, yeah it can be a bit of an odd feeling on take off and landing, I agree with you there.
I have Never flown. I’m 44 years old. You know if you do something as a child it’s easier to do as an adult. But the older you get the less likely you are to try something new. I have no desire to get on a airplane.
another great video!
Thank you.
Fantastic report, just watched this after the last two from yesterday. What an eclectic bunch of flight reports, I have to say I kept chuckling with this one. Firstly the pilot
"It's -57C outside and also we are expecting some turbulence..... also, make sure you use the right LAV A TORY you mofo's "
Then the starter which had the worlds largest tomato on it which you kindly described as "interesting". One can only assume that the medical emergency was when someone poked it with a fork only for it to launch itself at their mouth to lay a tomato egg like that scene in Alien...
Quite a funky flight, I would definitely fly with them. Thanks for the report again.
lol thanks for the comment and watching, yes the Tomato was sure an interesting one.
really appreciate all the extras you've put in this version of your trip report. 😃
Sure thing, glad you like them.
@@Whenitraveltheworld yeah, always... a great mix of routes and airlines... always a surprise 😎
Thanks buddy.
When I Travel The World 👍👍👍
Great report and I’d like to visit Hawaii one day as heard great things 👍
Its a great place, just make sure you visit the other islands and don't just stay on the main island. Loads more to see on the others.
The outdoors part of the terminal reminds me of walking through a carpark. As per usual air turbulance during meal service
Yeah I guess it sort of looks like a car park lol.
Could you get in and out of your seat without bothering your seat mate? I usually use Business on Delta or United to Haneda and there is only one seat on the windows. Thank you.
love the hair style in the beginning
Oh its a classic I know lol
@@Whenitraveltheworld did u put your finger in power socket lol
Oh yeah ! Best way to start the day.
Take off looks really nice...Saying good bye to Hawaii is very hard sometimes...Hehehehe
Some real nice views on take off for sure, was really nice.
I m glad you felt good about that as well.@@Whenitraveltheworld
Have a great weekend.
hi...could you tell me whatr type of camera, any stablization equipment you are using and editing app or program you would recommend...i have tried to take videos at the airport/on the plane but stablization was not good. Thank You!
Just a Gopro 4 and my phone.
I like you, love the screen that is between the seats...The simple privacy is what I like as well.....
Its better than having nothing at all :)
Been a viewer for a long time. Keep up the good work
Thank you Kevin for the comment, glad you enjoy watching them.
@@Whenitraveltheworld Definitely. Looking forward to the next one!
Plenty more to come.
Hi guy! Flying is great once you have a comfortable seat😊. I think Hawaiian Airlines do care about their passengers, there's always a sense of warmth which I like. Flew with them HNL-LAS and was pretty happy with their service. It's a huge difference from the other mainland carriers. Happy travels😊 and thanks for always taking us along to experience the skies with you!
Thanks Ganesh, glad you enjoyed flying with them.
Great video as usual James!
Thank you Lucas, glad you enjoyed it.
Voted “best HAIR on TH-cam ..ever 😂
I really enjoyed this flight report
Thank you, glad you agree.
Love the hair 😂😂
When i flew business with them and went to their lounge i was pretty disappointed. I do enjoy the fact that they hand out ipads though. I was able to lay on my side and move it closer or just move around with it in general. I did not enjoy their food though =[ the main entrees always left me wanting something different. The seats were comfortable for me though =]
Nice review as usual. I understand that many couples fly to Hawaii but if I am paying for Business Class I want the 1-2-1 configuration. I fly alone and can't tolerate having to step over my seatmate to access the aisle. It seems to be the new wave in seat configuration and I am surprised at the number of airlines who hesitate to upgrade their aircraft. Was that the moon as you were coming in for your landing? Incredibly beautiful photography over the water. As always, take care and Happy Travels!
Thanks John, glad you enjoyed it. I hear where your coming from on the seat config, I guess they could do that weird seat config that united has on some 767's were its 2-1-2 and the middle seats are just great for single passengers.
Yes that was the moon in full force as we landed, it really lit up the water. Thank you for watching as always and the comment.
How I miss travelling
I think the longest flight for Hawaiian Airlines is a domestic flight service from Honolulu to Boston.
Yep , my mistake its that one.
I like the open air part of the airport, the HA boarding music makes me want to pack up and go the Pacific. In Business Class - I just really appreciate a 1-2-1 configuration unless flying with my spouse, so I'm not a huge fan of 2-2-2. Also, your hair is on point - literally!
Yeah the music really lets you know that you are flying with Hawaiian airlines, I don't think anyone else plays music that loud. lol glad you like the hair.
I like your tuft of hair when you woke up and made video... 🤣 🤣 It looks funny... (please don't get mad, I 'm joking). As always great video...!!
His hair is always one of the highlights of his trip reports
Yeah i'm used to , the good old tuft is now pure gold. My vids are not complete without it.
I see your still working with a Gopro Hero 4, I saw it attached to the back seat. You should really Upgrade to A Hero 7, stabilized Video and 4K. It has made a huge difference in my videos. I work just like you, cell phone and a Gopro. Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you, I will upgrade eventually. Probably when 4K is the standard in most homes and not 1080P
Great video James. I first flew with Hawaiian back in 1991 on a L1011 which had a seat configuration of 2-5-2... I paid for a upgrade for $75 dollars at the check in desk when I flew back to LAX. Back in the day... The first class seats were like a wide and more comfortable premium economy seat.
Thanks Boots, good to hear from you. I wish I got to fly on an L1011, that would have been amazing. Wish they were still flying. Hope all is well.
I recently traveled 18 hours on Hawaiian airlines to Tokyo, and I will splurge on business class next time because I realized laying down to sleep is a privilege....I want to lay down the next 8 hrs I travel with him, and get a menu. The simple things makes everyone happy but it would've been nice to be able to talk to others... but even if I couldn't, I'd trade everything I had to lay down for 7 hours w/o alcohol.
How much was the flight ??
Medical diversion would’ve probably been Anchorage, possibly Guam…depending on where you were
At the HNL airport do not spend time indoors in a lounge. Go to the outdoor gardens located near the gates. They are much more enjoyable.
I 100 % agree with you there and wish I spent more time outside.
I thought your hairstyle was bedhead, but nope, it was styled that way. 😊
Love the “rawness” of the video: no music, no narration. What you see is what you get.
And lastly, are you now a duel citizen? Just wondering, because I noticed your American passport.
lol yes all true to what you said. You are 100 % correct :)
When I Travel The World I thought American didn’t allow duel citizenships.
JennsLittleHomestead The U.S. allows dual citizenship but they follow the “master nationality” rule, i.e. they recognize only the U.S. nationality of the individual regardless of his/her other citizenship.
There are a couple of islands to go to for emergency...Guam I one and Mid-way Island....It depends hw far you are from them as well.
Yeah seems those are the ones.
Yeah, after WWII we continued to handle many of the islands since we won the war but it was the US take help build back many nations. So yes many islands that way are either a vacation resort or a cool place to live those...Well, you fly safe always...@@Whenitraveltheworld
Thanks Marcus, have a great weekend.
A shave would'nt go astray 😆
Well filmed but Hawaiians business class is sub standard.
Food basic
Seat width tiny
I personally would not waste my money.
I only travel business and first class and this would rank one of the lower business class products.
Another great video. Was this sponsored by Tin Tin Hair Care products?
Thanks, I wish I had that as a sponsor.
Thank you for posting. It is still a puzzle for me why people choose to fly international flights with US carriers. I guess at you route you could get JAL or ANA where the hard product is better and service is significantly better
From memory the A330-200 has an ETOPS of 240 minutes(4 hrs flying in standard conditions on one engine) so its diversion airports can be a fair way off
Yeah it has a crazy ETOPS.
I fly Hawaiian all the time. The seat you had is probably the best when flying solo for privacy. I usually fly 3A on the opposite side of you. Pretty good for an airline made in Hawaii....:)
Yeah it was pretty nice, I mainly pick the last row in business class for more privacy.
Thanks for another wonderful video. Do you get a peek at Hawaiian economy?
Thanks for watching it and the comment. I actually did not look into economy, spent to much time drinking Mai Tai's
@@Whenitraveltheworld Fair enough. I would probably have done the same!
Midway would be the obvious stop point however there are some other US Mil / AAF/ AF base alternatives that you could probably get clearance for if it was a proper emergency although I think it'd need to be a 'preservation of life' case rather than 'pax is feeling a little lightheaded' kind of scenario.
I wasn't a massive fan of the place overall but have you ever flown into or out of PUJ ( Punta Cana) airport. That's a REALLY outside place ( wildlife has a tendency to walk through the check-in areas) there's also a great bar at the end of one of the piers that whilst quite windy has an outside area looking directly onto the apron.
Yeah Midway seems to be that people are pointing out.
I have never flown our or been into PUJ, its on my list, but not been there yet.
I think there are plenty more cool airports around the world i want to check out.
Thanks for the review! My partner and I are flying Hawaiian from PDX to HNL in First and then HNL to AKL in Business. Now we know what to expect. (The Plumeria Lounge looked especially disappointing!)
Yeah don't hold your breath for an amazing time in that lounge on your connection, but it will still be enjoyable for you.
You must be on the A321 on the PDX-HNL segment right ? That will be interesting.
When I Travel The World Yes! At first I was disappointed that PDX-HNL was on the A321; but, it is a daytime flight and just around five hours. So, it should be interesting. Sometimes, Hawaiian substitutes an A330 for the A321 out of PDX. Fingers crossed!

It might be nice to try the A321 in business and see what it's like. i will always upload a guest review if you wanted to film it. Fly safe !
Have Hawaiian airways considered earthing their airplanes, as I think there is a major static build up in the cabin.
lol hahaha great comment.
Thank you.
How long was this fight?
Hawaiian’s longest flight is their Domestic HNL to Boston flight which is 11+ hours currently.
indeed it is. my error.
When I Travel The World no problem, cheers mate.
Another thorough review of your flight. I enjoyed all of it. The airline is too mainland US rather than Hawaiian and I found it to be a little tacky. The menu was found wanting. Do I like flying? Heck no! It’s just a means of getting from A to B as quickly as possible. I’m an old guy who went to a well known Brit public school. It made me a terrible snob to the point that I hate getting chummy with fellow passengers. The more privacy, the better for me. Your flight’s privacy screen was a joke! I would have walked out before take off and that music! OMG! Too loud and down-market Hawaiian. You’d have thought they’d at least play some Don Ho 🤪. You use a US passport because you’re American and have family in Southern California? Thanks for sharing old boy. Cheers, Colin.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed this one also.
Yeah the music could have indeed been turned down a fair bit, it was an interesting experience certainly. Could have been better.
For me their Business Class was not very impressive. The service looked very awkward with the entertainment unit in the middle of everything. The amount of fruit on the sandwich meal was embarrassing and the seats looked uncomfortable...think I would choose a different carrier. US carriers on international just don't compare with International carriers service.
Great bed hair. :)
Yeahh first comment!!
Awesome
Why are the window shades down during boarding, that seems a bit odd :/
Some airlines just do this to keep the temperature down in the cabin when the place is sitting in the heat.
There is a Vietnamese dish called Bo Luc Lac, which translate to shaky beef. I believe this is the sandwich version of it. Very clever Hawaiian Airlines.
oh interesting, thanks for that info.
How’s the service?
I’m sure the flight to Seoul is longer or the flight now to Boston
Yeah the flight to Boston from HNL is longer. My Mistake.
diversion would most likely be Pago Pago American Samoa. They serve Hawaiian flights 2 nights a week.
Good to know, thanks for the comment.
beautiful flight report.From what I have watched Hawaiian needs a few updates especially in the IFE system.Only 5 movies 5 tv series Looks pretty poor for long distance flights.
Thanks Yannis, Yeah the IFE could use some serious updating, but everything else was fine.
Did you have to call AA Australia to book? can't seem to find availability on the App
I just went to AA.com and did an advantage search and it all came up no problem at all.
When I Travel The World Ohk. Thanks will check that way
no problem. Or you can just call in and ask.
Hawaiian Airlines.....they were chartered for the US military. Weirdest thing ever. Arrived in Bahrain, they were playing Hawaiian music as we deplaned. When going outside the airport, hearing the call to prayer. We knew we werent in Kansas anymore.
Wow that's sure a unique charter for that route. Thanks for the comment.
@@Whenitraveltheworld NP at all. Their last stop was going to be Diego Garcia. Looooong flight, lol
My question is is business class really worth the money?
Depends. The only out of pocket expensive I paid for this was $5.60 cents, the miles cost me nothing.
So I got a great deal.
Longest flight is jfk to honolulu
Was disappointed by the catering. The best part: shortbread cookie gift pack.
wow bad hair day? 0:45
lol yeah i guess
Bad comment day.
That’s his look! Get used to it fella!
Hnl-bos is the longest flight operated by the airline.
Yes indeed, my mistake.
Longest domestic in the US.
Overall a good review. This is not heir longest flight and they don't have a seat number 3F
Sorry I did mean 3J. And yes HNL-BOS is the longest, thanks for the comment.
Yeah, as I remember Tahiti is in route to fly too if the sick person becomes any thing more....
Pretty sure even Beijing is longer than to Tokyo, but it's still not their longest route
Yeah seems HNL-BOS is the longest route.
People go to Hawaii as a couple, so that's why you will never see a 1-2-1 seating
Yeah I agree with you there. So it makes sense for them to have this type of seat.
Long distance Tinder daters travel alone.
Good video liked that Hawaiian airport 👍 I always thought you were a Brit with your accent were you born here in U.K. did you marry an American or something 👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. Yep I was born in the UK, Lived in Australia then moved to the U.S.
Ur videos are so good but u have write the names of all place and food that u eat but some of ur videos u didn't write u didn't write the name of the places that u show us hope u will consider
Nothing is so special about this flight compared to your other videos.
1:47 apparently the automatic walkways are the only thing that’s working
Not sure what you mean there ?
In that part of the video, everyone is using the automatic walkway and no one is using the actual floor so that’s why I said that the floor must be broken lol
I've never really wanted to go to Hawaii because I love the Mediterranean so this may seem a bit biased. That lounge looked like the lobby of a business park in the suburbs and there was no booze, the airport terminal itself looks like it's in desperate need of a reno and I feel like it didn't get much better on board. On the plus side, Slippers are WAY better than socks as an amenity.
Yeah its 'not the best, but its can be a fair bit nicer than say flying UA, AA, or DL to HNL from the mainland.
Interesting that you are a U.S. citizen James. I had the notion you were a Brit ... maybe from London originating trips??? Where in the U.S. do you live?
Hey Rob, I'm both. Just lived in the U.S for a long time. San Diego, CA.
Interesting ... I’m seriously thinking of moving from Ft. Lauderdale to San Diego but having a back/forth fight within myself ... Hillcrest or Coronado? Coronado or Hillcrest? 🧐🙄
Hillcrest will be a whole lot cheaper than Coronado that's for sure. I've only ever lived in the Gaslamp and East Village. I prefer the weather here as there's very little humidity.
So far I think Coronado is winning ... found a 3 bed/3 bath/2 car garage new build house that impressed me. Also I think in deciding on Coronado, I was told it’s buying a lifestyle.
Yeah Coronado is definitely its own lifestyle. Super nice place. I can't afford to live there.
No Honolulu to New York is 10 hours vs. 7 on this.
Thanks for the info.
you're the guy who refuses to pull his window shades down
It's just proper etiquette to blur people's faces out of videos....especially people who don't know they're going to be in someone's videos online.
That looks like first class
Hi James, no this inflight product can not compete with ANA. The A - 3 8 0 and FIRST CLASS.
Meal looked again so Little and uninspired… The downfoll super one. NO CHAMPAGNE
Fly those intriguing carriers of Japan....thank you though
Yep, next time i fly it i'm going to fly ANA on the A380 on this route and see what its like.
Did you notice the distressed female pelican during the take off? Tailspin pelicans are a significant menace for general aviation. 🐓
I did not, but now i'm going to watch the take off again.
Ah you went to Haneda
Yes indeed.
Diversion would be Midway or Guam
Thanks Karl, anything after that or would the airline just be working on ETOPS after that ?
@@Whenitraveltheworld ETOPS for that plane is now 370 minutes, but after Guam..not much; go back or keep going. Guam to Japan is about 1500 miles
WOW 370 is just crazy, I would love to see the actual real life test results that prove that's all possible. I think after 180 I would be concerned.
@@Whenitraveltheworld There was never any real testing done. It's all based on real-world reliability metrics for the engines and major systems. If you lost both engines, you're screwed anyway irrespective of ETOPS rating, so...
always reassuring, but I guess I was referring to just having 1 engine out. We all know your not going far with 0.
As a Gold on Emirates BC I find this insulting to the people that pay hard cash. The "privacy divider" comes up to the persons chin. just turn you eyes to see what is what. As for NO IFE back to TWA days lol. Not flown US airlines since 1980, seems they have not changed! BTW Tomorrow VA to Cuba PE far far better.
Yeah it needs to be improved, its still better than some of the main line airlines, but no where near as good as EK.
Looks so small compared to the first class seats in your other videos. iPads for IFE, kind if lame IMHO.
Yeah its a lesser product, but still fairly enjoyable for the route.
@@Whenitraveltheworld Who do you rate as the best first class from LA to Melbourne, if you have flown that route or similar.
someone on our flight needed medical assistance aswell. we ended up turning back to oahu halfway through our flight to los angeles
oh that sucks for your flight, but i understand why they would need to do it.
When I Travel The World yeah and i love flying so i was actually happy
