 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Hawaiian Airlines at Epinions.com
Hawaiian Airlines is Hawaii's oldest airlines, serving the Hawaiian Islands for over 70 years.
The Aloha spirit is dry and, especially at West Coast Airports, you'll find that many of Hawaiian Airlines check-in agents will not know what the Aloha Spirit is. This is unfortunate if you're flying to the islands, especially since you'd want to experience Aloha from the start of your journey till the end.
Hawai'i residents usually get the blunt end of the stick, so Hawai'i residents should try alternatives with other airlines, especially since those airlines are not concerned only with bringing tourists to the islands.
