Hawaiian Airlines offers online seat selection service to its passengers
If you plan to fly business or first class for your next trip with Hawaiian Airlines, this article will help you.
First of all, you must know that the Hawaiian airline offers you seats in two classes Economy and Business and gives you the choice between several categories of seats namely: Preferred seats, Premium, Main Cabin Basic and Extra Comfort.
Before even queuing for long minutes to drop off your luggage (praying that the weight is below the authorized limit), then queuing again to pass security (mentally insulting the person in front of you who puts 3 hours to take off your shoes), then to re-queue to board … there is the crucial choice of the place in the plane to travel at best. If you’re a little used to flying, you set an alarm on your phone to choose your seat between 24 to 30 hours before takeoff.
The question is which seat to choose. There are of course the places at the level of the emergency exits but it is increasingly rare to be able to choose them without paying a supplement. So what do we do ? Here is the advice of a flight attendant.
When choosing your seat on the plane, always try to opt for the second row in your section in the cabin. This is the best option even compared to the front row seats. Admittedly, on these, you will have more room for your legs, but you cannot keep a bag at your feet during take-off and landing. And TV screens are generally smaller. What’s more, they often have to be put away 30 minutes before arrival.
How to choose your seat on board a Hawaiian Airlines plane?
A seat at the window allows you to enjoy the view and rest your head to sleep BUT there can be a draft of cold air along this window and it is more difficult to leave your seat to go to the bathroom or just relax your legs.
An aisle seat allows freedom to move BUT you don’t have the possibility to rest your head, chances are that people will jostle you as you pass (or even the drink and food carts). You will also have to get up to let the people next to you pass.
The front of the device is often less noisy and there is less vibration.
Back rows often cannot bow any further (and spacing with front rows is sometimes reduced)
Unless you know the person to your left or your right very well, and therefore be able to lean on them to take a quick snooze during the flight, the central seat is the one with the least interest.

Check the airline’s website www.hawaiianairlines.com. Depending on your flight (and therefore the precise model of the plane you will take), it identifies the most interesting seats and those to absolutely forget.
For example, you may have chosen a window seat but the porthole at this location is slightly offset, which takes away all interest from this seat. SeatGuru is even able to point out seemingly ordinary aisle seats where flight attendants tend to, for several reasons.
