I really liked the heads-up display in the cockpit, the seat numbers written out in Hawaiian, and the light settings throughout the cabin. Looking forward to flying on this aircraft.
this is a big time upgrades over their A330 they have and looks much better in everything that 787 have to offer…. ill be looking forward to that when hawaiian will finally send 787 to SEA for the flights to either OGG or HNL or even KOA ( i know hawaiian doesnt have direct flignts to sea nonstop but they need to do that)
@@darrenfike924i think SEA would be a perfect fit for HA whether the buyout gets approved or not.
The mirror in each bin is to assist crew and passengers alike to determine if there was anything left behind. Also this is useful for security checks.
The 787 Dreamliner is an amazing machine, it’s my favorite airplane!
Mirrors are installed in overhead bins for people to see if they’ve left anything behind in the bin without having to climb up on seats.
Thank you!
I agree with the observation on the mirror because everyone is not tall like you or I. And yes, I am 6'2" as well.😊
They have the mirrors in the overhead bins on Southwest Max8s.
😂@Alaskancruiser
Wow! Yes, us tall people like and need things that we like while we are flying as well. 😂 Hahaha!
Thank you for showing row 33!!! I’ve been looking all over for that information
I had business in Hawaii and I would only fly Hawaiian Airlines. They have great service and as soon as you are seated you knew you were in for a cultural experience. Now that I’m retired I only fly to Hawaii once a year versus 5 times. I hope the 787 comes to Vegas so I can travel in style.
Can't wait to fly this aircraft in April!
Great and informative video! Really enjoyed and like your content🫡🤙🏾
Mahalo for the aircraft tour. We loved it and it was very informative.
On the 787's at my company, the mirrors are installed in the overhead lockers where the emergency equipments are located. The oxygen bottles are laid out in rows, and the mirror allows us to see the gauges and that they are full. But in this case maybe initially that bin was for similar stowage. Also the IFE monitors were stowed down beside the seat that you wondered about.
Thank you so much! That makes sense and next time I will know. 🤙🏼🤙🏼
A'ole pilikia@@suitesandlobbies
The mirrors are a pretty common product... they are to see the floor of the overhead bin to check for contents... both for passengers and for staff performing security search.
Beautiful. Thanks for the tour. Aloha...
And for those of you that will miss the 2-4-2 layout so you can just sit with your friend... there still are a couple of rows that only have 2 seats. Though they are by the lavs...
that "jack" is the latest plug for power/etc. I think it replaced the old usb plug that with constant use, would wear out. As for the little mirror on the overhead...I think its built so that flight attendants and passengers can LOOK end to end of the luggage compartment (like a wide angle fisheye) so everything is out!
It looks so gorgeous!
It’s really nice, but it looks tighter and smaller compared to the older 2-4-2.. good luck plus size flyers like myself😂😂😂😂
Great video Will have to see what else he has posted. This didn't have crazy graphics and the same old hiphop music in the background. Just good calm detailed focus on the most relevant things. Thanks!
Great video tour of the new Hawaiian 787! Well narrated and great video coverage of the plane. Cool video of the cockpit and crew rest area! Looking forward to flying on this new Hawaiian airlines plane. Thank you for posting this video!
Thank you!
I got the inaugural flight on april 15th in extra comfort. I regret not forking over the extra and going first class though.
You beat me by one day! Enjoy the flight.
Wait, Panasonic ex3 system? They cheaped out on brand new plane 😢 why not Panasonic Next or Thales Avant?
I don't why it feels like good enough to eat to me. The colors look like very delicious candy. Love it.
It's a massive airplane but I didn't notice very many toilets in the economy section. How many bathrooms does it have ?
I saw one in the back, 5 in the middle and one in front of business.
The small one next to USB Aa looks like a USB C port
I have only flown Hawaiian airlines inter island but i really look forward to flying business class on this new plane. I need to make that happen. 😊
Beautiful interior! I prefer the A330's 2-4-2 layout but do prefer the 787's premium cabin. I hope fly on this aircraft on their BOS-HNL route someday.
Beautiful aircraft. But I wonder if it still has very noisy hydraulics that all Boeing 787 seem to have that I've flown on?
I was unaware of this, will pay attention when I do fly the aircraft. Thank you.
The bulkhead row seats have pop up video monitors. You mentioned they were panels.
That port you were asking about is a USB-C port. So it has a USB-A and a USB-C. And the thing you thought was paneling,
I hope this plane is as nice as it’s portrayed. I’m booking flights tomorrow
April will start SFO and LAX to HNL to start hoping we get BOS and MCO next
I hope to be on the SFO flight. BOS in the future.
@@suitesandlobbies Boston is not that far away
Also phx is a seasonal hawaiian 787 destination
OMG Have you never flown before? Mirrors are to make sure you haven't left anything in the bins when you leave. It's "lavatory"......not "bathroom"!! The "Tray tables" you referred to at the bulk heads are actually the video monitors for those sitting in the first row! Push the release button to free it from its housing. Finally you were in the handicapped lavatory at door 3. The partitions open up to allow a full wheel chair to enter. Notice the extra large door? There was no secret compartment!!! You also usually push (where it says push) to enter! geeze!
Hey just curious, are you on the Autism spectrum?
3X3X3 in coach on a 787 makes the seats narrower than a 737. It’s brutal. I’ll miss the A330s when they are gone.
Seems like a pretty good aircraft honestly. In my opinion they should’ve opted out for the 787-10 instead to squeeze in more passengers but it’s better than the aging A330 for sure
The jack you were wondering about appears to be a USB-C port. It's the recharge port on Samsung Android phones!!
Also for the IPhone 15 series model.
Nice video & nice airplane..
That rear or back of the cabin, is the flight attendants galley! It’s not quite the crew area! There is a crew rest area, used for long flights, which these Dreamliner’s will be doing.
The LAX Hawaiian Airlines terminal is in the international terminal and is a good 15-20 minute walk to the terminal.The main reason I prefer Hawaiian Airlines is because of the 2-4-2 configuration and I don’t have to sit next to anyone I don’t know. I’m not sure I would continue to like it as much with the new configuration.
Excellent points to consider. I follow a lot of conversations in travel groups and many inexperienced flyers ask what the best airline is for xx destination. I always encourage them to consider the aircraft in addition to the airline because of points you mentioned. Will be interesting to follow customer comments on the configuration once flights commence in April. LAX is another story 😂.
When it comes to gate assignments at airports, airlines do NOT have a choice on the terminal/gate they have to use. Do you honestly think they’d want to be at such a far gate?
HNL assigns gates to incoming aircraft. There are no preassigned gates in Honolulu meaning there are no Hawaiian area no Delta, United and so on. Airlines have there planes all mixed up parked at the gates.
I'm looking forward to a Hawaiian Airlines aircraft named PU'U NAN'I.
That is not paneling that is a screen built into the arm rest. You have to push the button to release the screen
Beautiful aircraft. Unfortunately, HA doesn't fly into DFW which is actually surprising to me. I would have to get down to Austin or go out to Phoenix to fly with them which doesn't make sense at this point. So for now, it's still American.
I have flown on AA's 787 as well and it is very nice. I think AA has DFW wrapped up tight but maybe if the Alaska buyout goes through.....we shall see.
great aircraft
It’s going to be interesting if Alaska keeps the 787 or will they sell it off
Alaska has made statements in the past of being all Boeing but with all that is going on who know.
Alaska is a loyal Boeing customer and got rid of all the Airbus fleet from the Virgin America even the almost brand new 321neo. I wouldn’t be surprised if Hawaiian will become an all Boeing fleet
I like the 787 first class than the Hawaiian A330 first class. Hope Hawaiian renovates the A330 interior soon. Still prefer the 2-4-2 of the A330 than the 3-3-3 of the 787.
Port there is a USB Type C port which is nice.
they are still in business??
Will this aircraft 787-9 fly from Boston to Honolulu at some point?
I think the intent after flying to the west coast for a bit is to indeed use this for long haul flights like Boston. They have more coming in so we shall see.
You have to pay extra for EXTRA COMFORT seats. Other airlines charge extra for those seats.
It’s a c connector for all apple iPhone and tablet 15
Hawaiian Airlines 787-9 Business Class seats are the same seat Like Qatar Airways Business Class 787-9
Yes, customized versions of the Adient Aerospace Ascent seat and I hear soon to be coming to American Airlines' Boeing 787-9s and 777-300ERs Flagship cabins.
It’s beautiful new airplane , love the interior. Now they just need to work on the in cabin service, because they are quite bad and the food 🙈. I’m comparing with all other airlines like Singapore airlines or Qatar etc
Beautiful aircraft. Sad to know that Hawaiians investors are giving away our iconic brand to a mainland company. I truly lost faith in the Hawaiian brand and it's board. I am a resident of Hawaii, born and raised. We are Pualani Gold members. Now we are building our relationship with Southwest.
Southwest is another mainland company.
@@makahene hard to explain if you from Hawaii. Southwest entered Hawaiian market the correct way. Respectful to the culture and people. They understand our needs and wants. They are also involved in our community. Alaska is not.
Alaska could renege and then Hawaiian would go bankrupt, if you prefer.
@@df446 here in Hawaii The roumer is Alaska wants Hawaiians Asia routes. Asia doesn't want Alaska and has built trust and loyalty to Hawaiian. Hawaiian has built a stellar reputation with the Japanese government. Once merged the Hawaiian name and logo will only exist on neighbor Island flights within Hawaii. This is deception for the people of Hawaii who have placed trust in Hawaiian. The meaning and story behind our airline and Pualani on the AC is so much more. Hawaiian was once locally owned. Hawaiian was our states proud airline. Hawaiian and Hawaii is so much more than just a tourist destination.
God dang the cabin looks amazing!
Also what’s the music at 0:36
Its from Motion Array, paid subscription, "Life As A Party"
Thank you, also I do love the cabin style and colour on this 787 😊
Like any other airline I guess JUST NEED THAT BUNNY BODY KIT AND A SUPER CHARGER
Let me guess whats inside. Ummm seats and more seats. Haaaa nah brah just kidding. Great vid!
Will this aircraft have wifi when they fly in April?
Not right initially. The plan is to eventually have Starlink installed across the entire long-haul fleet.
I hope so!!!
That is a "type C" USB jack
I thought Hawaiian was going to stick with the A330 neos😢
The A330s they do have are on lease till 2026 and with the potential Alaska buy out things could change quite a bit. We shall see…🤙🏼🤙🏼
I wouldn’t be surprised if Hawaiian will become an all Boeing fleet after Alaska buy out.
All 787 9 dreamliner are like this? Where is premium economy?
Why they did not equip with premium economy is beyond me. I think its a missed opportunity.
@@suitesandlobbies . Thank you for replying. I thought you did not film it. So 787 8 has premium economy and 9 does not.
@@Keepontravelling my understanding is both the 787-8 and 787-9 can come with premium economy, it is up to the airline on how they want the aircraft configured seat wise. Hawaiian chose not to have premium economy on their 787 aircraft. You will find it on some AA and UA 787s though.
@@suitesandlobbies ok so Airlines customize their planes interesting 🙂. I noticed that Virgin Atlantic has a premium economy option on their aircrafts.
Just watched it land at SFO an hour ago, non-revenue flight.
Nice!
Thanks for review. The extra charger port you see in economy is the USB-C charger, surprisingly I didn’t see it the business class. Overall, beautiful design but not a fan of the business class seating configuration. Facing the aisle is weird to see people and staff walking by all the time. Also if I sit in the window seat in business class I would want to see what’s outside without having to sit or stand up.
Those economy seats look like pain for my back. I flew one of these 787 to Israel. Same seats. Horrible. I’m not impressed with less room, being crammed into a glorified lawn chair. Bring back comfortable economy seats for the 99.99% of us who can’t afford business or first class.
I think their old classic Lockheed L1011's back in the 1980's and 90's were more impressive.
Do you really want to fly in an aircraft made by Boeing?
As long as it isn’t the 737max lol
Type c charging
Looks cramped . comfort IS NOT A PRIORITY . I could not fly to HI in economy
Economy seating looks painful...
Besides the Hawaiian name branding and local employees this company in no way is Hawaiian in Culture or heart!
Did they ever rehire the over 500+ employees they laid-off because they did not want to get the jab???
They gouged prices for many years after Aloha Airlines went out of business and had the monopoly on inter-island flights and was all about shareholder greed! I’m Happy to see this company sell-out to Alaska Airlines maybe they will uphold stronger Hawaiian values, culture & service.
On a good note Southwest Airlines has made family travel affordable again with excellent service and not gouging prices.
Name means nothing without Aloha!
I might know a *few* things about planes 😅
Nice plane but seats are not comfortable
but its a boeing no thank you they already on the news
Who wants to sit sideways for a whole plane flight
Looks very basic inside
WHO CARES WHAT THE AIRCRAFT DOES. WHAT MATTER IS THAT HAWAIIAN PUT 9-ACROSS SEATINGS ON AN 8-ACROSS CABIN IS ATROCIOUS. 17 INCH SEATS FOR 8 HOURS FLYING IS NOT PRETTY. I'LL PASS.
No thanks. Avoiding the Boeing until they admit all the issues going on.
Dont like the idea of Alaska buying out Hawaiian. In my opinion Alaska is CRAP and Hawaiian is AWESOME. The Dreamliner looks nice but i still like the air bus configuration a bit better.
I guess Alaska could renege and then Hawaiian could go bankrupt.
Two lame takes in one comment😂
Hawaiian should not be part of Alaska Airlines at all! They should continue being on their own. AS for the video, it was ok. The Dreamliner is an amazing aircraft :)
Really nice cabin but no air vents? C’mon Hawaiian, you’re not a European or Asian carrier, just about every North American carrier has them on their widebodies, do better.
From left to right you have the headphone jack ports, a USB-A port and then the USB-C port. USB-C is now the standard connection port for all new phones, tablets, and laptops across the Apple, Microsoft/PC, and Android product lines.
Thank you! I try to keep up but clearly a little behind. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Wait so 2 headphone jack ports for 1 screen? So two can watch a movie and listen to the same audio without having to share a headphone? Is that right?
do all seat backs go back? and do armrests go up on any?!
except for those against a bulkhead, usually in the rear or in front of the mid section, all seats had some recline. I didn't check the armrests but hope it is standard like other 787 aircraft.@@leannetidwell-schlegel7478
Made in America! USA! USA! USA!
Congrats Boeing do an amazing job in designing the 787 Dreamliner using technology. I like how they did Hawaiian Airlines interior cabins & exterior. Thanks sharing.
That is to see whether there aren't any rats.
I might be a vocal minority but Hawaiian really should’ve thought of adding a dedicated true premium economy section. If this was to be a game changing aircraft truly designed to compete with mainline carriers like United or Delta, then premium economy would’ve absolutely stood out. (Especially for domestic Hawaii flights)
I love the PE option, many of the extras in Business or FC are nice but a comfortable seat is really what I want.
My take as well.
Hū! Mahalo for this video; however, for us Native Hawaiian aviation enthusiasts, esp. thoss like me who have been flying w/ Hawaiian Air since the 1950’s in their former Douglas DC-3’s, I think you might want to brush up seriously on the operation of the technical features offered for passengers on our new HA Dreamliner. This presentation was far too perfunctory w/ way too much guesswork over how features & controls operate. Take note of the Sam Chui aviation TH-cam videos: thorough, well-organized, & detailed. Also, if you present to a global audience like the one here on TH-cam, please, please, PLEASE, pay way more attention to CORRECT Hawaiian word pronunciation! Otherwise, more & more of the world will only come to know our traditional Island language from what Hawai’i 5-0 promotes! Ending on a positive high note, I give you many kūlolo & poke points for your brief, yet solid, history of the name Kapuahi. 🤙😎🤙
Thank you for your comments. I try with every video to learn a bit more about all things and definitely learned more while making this one. As a Native Hawaiian myself I always try to highlight the correct Hawaiian pronunciations, as the song goes ..."in time I think I will". New words are difficult for me but i will continue to sound them out and I hope others will also. I do watch Sam Chui and others, waaaaay above me. Will keep plugging, maybe we will run into each other one day and we can swap stories. Mahalo!!
Great aircraft, but awful that Hawaiian is going away from the 2-4-2 configuration - packing you like sardines and yes some very few seats of 2-2 configuration in the back close to the laboratories. Since it will take a while to replace the entire fleet when I fly to Hawaii will book the Airbus 330.
Glad to see the interior of this aircraft. Boeing and Hawaiian Air have done a great job with this plane. Looking forward to flying on this new aircraft.
Glad you received my comments w/ an open heart in the spirit of a true Native Hawaiian. Here are 3 possibly useful hacks: 1. With a focus on the ‘ōkina (glottal stop markers, as in “Ka’a’awa”) & 2. Attention to the kahahō (macrons, as in “Wahiawā”), pronunciation will come more naturally. 3. A video assistant would hugely help so you would have both hands free to handle things like pressing 2 control buttons simultaneously. This would also allow you to appear in front of the cam, a much more personal touch for your audience. I would volunteer as an assistant myself were I retired at home (Maui) instead of on the Mid-Atlantic East Coast. I think story swap would be fun. Wishing you continued success! Aloha!
The "paneling" you mentioned at the 7:10 mark is actually the IFE screen for people sitting in that row......
Those first class seats gonna cost at least $3,000-5,000 one way too expensive for local people.
Thanks for posting this tour of Hawaiian's new 787-9. It is a beautiful cabin. Great video.
Wow you had the CEO and SVP of Marketing right there with you!!!
I felt very lucky.
Well, the CEO until the Alaska merger is completed
Beautiful aircraft, not sure about Boeing since the recent mishaps with their planes.
That’s a USB-C port. A newer edition to the USB family.
Que pasa con Boeing 😢😢😢😢 y sus aviones que son defectuoso
Thank you for sharing your tour of this aircraft. Yes, in the Economy mid- cabin area sitting in the bulk head window seating is better to me. I would not sit in the middle bulk head seating especially while boarding. I think that the extra door design in that Economy mid-section bathroom could be a crossover space into the other side bathroom giving more space needed for a medical situation.
The Extra Comfort seats look very nice. For me, I would be seating in the first bulk head row after Business Class. The Business Class seats in the middle section are very nice with separate panels. And each seat has a door panel as well!😊 Very nice for the long-haul trip in general.😊 The fuselage outside design is really nice color scheme to look at. I am glad you walk under the tail back area outside!!😊 So, I think the airlines that area letting the 767 retire slowly want the newer modern 787 to take their place in their fleets. Furthermore, the Pilot rest area looks nice along with the one seating is nice. But now where is the Flight Attendants rest area? I wonder if the Flight Attendants rest area is down stairs similar to many 777s cabin rest area sections. Staying with the Boeing Aircraft theme, many Flights Attendants loved the upstairs crew rest area in the 747-400s. That space was in the ceiling right next to the part if the tail
Yes, the Flight Attendants crew rest area being a part of the tail beginning area. Well, again thank you for the tour of this beautiful aircraft. She, the aircraft, looks beautiful!!😊😊
Those fabric seats are going to stink the cabin
Glad you enjoyed your walk-through. Didn't realize I made a cameo appearance 😂
I really did enjoy this walk through, what a unique experience. 🤙🏼🤙🏼😘
The "door" looking thing between the two center lavatories is able to be opened/removed by the crew so that a wheelchair can fit inside (has the two lavatories combined for extra floor space). This removes the requirement to have one really big lavatory that is going to always take up space that could have been used for an extra row of seats.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I have been asked about ADA specifics before and now I know about the bathroom. Mahalo 🤙🏼🤙🏼
You’re welcome! I hosted a group from the ADA advisory panel from Amtrak once on board a new Airbus A321 for my then employer to look at new lavatory features (our configuration had two rear lavatories with a removable wall). For those using a wheelchair, they liked this a lot better than typical widebody bigger bathroom because it has many more handholds, two toilets to option between at slightly different angles, etc. It allowed them a lot more options to move about in a way most comfortable for them.
@@suitesandlobbies And Im looking forward to flying on this plane on my first trip to Hawaii on April 15th!
@@flyoma Wow! I think that will be the first flight to Hawai'i, paired with your first trip to Hawai'i, special! I am booked to SFO on the 16th but my plans may change last minute, fingers crossed.
@@suitesandlobbies Actually it is the 16th SFO-HNL (I guess the first flight is HNL-SFO departing the 15th) it looks like. I actually booked this flight back when it was announced (Hawaii is the only US state I have not been to), and it morphed into a round the world trip continuing onward.
You sound like Nick Krall
I’m very excited about being one of the first passengers to fly on this new 787-9 Dreamliner. My wife and I will be one of the first passengers flying out of San Francisco to Honolulu on May 5th. We chose the extra comfort seats 💺 in the front of the plane.
Type-C port for charger
Stop touching things……….this is why we can’t have nice things! Lol J/K great review!
Lol, thank you!!
