Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hawaiian Airlines, Hawaiʻi’s hometown airline, is gearing up for high holiday travel demand between Hawaiʻi and the West Coast by increasing flights between Honolulu (HNL) and Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO), and Seattle (SEA).

“We’re already seeing compelling demand for end-of-year travel and our extra flights will make it even more convenient for our guests to experience our Hawaiian hospitality during the holiday season,” said Brent Overbeek, executive vice president and chief revenue officer at Hawaiian Airlines. “Additionally, we decided to once again offer a fourth Honolulu-Los Angeles, peak-day flight that was popular with our guests during our summer seasonal service.”

The airline will utilize a mix of Starlink-equipped Airbus A330 and Airbus A321neo aircraft for these routes. Passengers can enjoy Hawaiian’s award-winning service, featuring culinary creations from the airline’s Featured Chef Series, signature beverages by Kō Hana Rum and Maui Brewing Co., and island snacks from the Pau Hana snack cart. All transpacific flights offer complimentary in-flight entertainment, including the airline’s specially curated video collection, Hana Hou! TV.
