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 787 Dreamliner is an amazing machine, it’s my favorite airplane!
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.
Thanks for posting this tour of Hawaiian's new 787-9. It is a beautiful cabin. Great video.
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.
Mahalo for the aircraft tour. We loved it and it was very informative.
Can't wait to fly this aircraft in April!
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.
At 6’8” I request mirrors be installed on the floor so I can see under the seat too.
😂@@Dhh77
Thank you for showing row 33!!! I’ve been looking all over for that information
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.
Beautiful. Thanks for the tour. Aloha...
Great review thank you ❤
It looks so gorgeous!
Good job on the video. Great meeting you at the event.
Great meeting you as well, I hope you got some great shots, what an opportunity.
Beautiful bird!
Beautiful ❤ thanks for the tour Aloha
Thank you and you're welcome!
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!
Nice video & nice airplane..
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!
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
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. 🤙🏼🤙🏼😘
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.
Nice shot of the GEnx engine!
great aircraft
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. 😊
Wow 🎉 Hawaiian air 🤙
Just starting to watch it now but first, thank YOU!!
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
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!!😊😊
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.
I hope the food in business class improves drastically. Have not had good food in years. The Dreamliner looks impressive!
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!
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.
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.
I Like The Livery.Great Video
I hope this plane is as nice as it’s portrayed. I’m booking flights tomorrow
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.
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...
Planning to fly this in 2025, super excited! Great video! 🥳
i don't know why but I am proud of this new plane and this airline. I live in Maryland but we try to get to Hawaii once a year. i have been there 16 or 17 times and I love Hawaiian airlines.
I don't why it feels like good enough to eat to me. The colors look like very delicious candy. Love it.
The bulkhead row seats have pop up video monitors. You mentioned they were panels.
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.
Welcome back and thanks for the wonderful review of the dreamliner, Hawaiian Airlines is my carrier of choice when I travel to Hawaii, nice to see seatback video screens again, alot of airlines are eliminating them, curious as to what video screens will be available for the extra comfort bulkhead seats, my guess is they will hand out tablets for those passengers,
Thanks! Good to be back 🤙🏼🤙🏼
The "paneling" you mentioned at the 7:10 mark is actually the IFE screen for people sitting in that row......
Exterior of the plane nice. Hopefully the seats on Boeing 787 Dreamliner don't feel cheap and hard as the Hawaiian Airlines inter island planes the Boeing 717. I get it to be eco friendly. Now Air New Zealand did an outstanding job on their seats.
I have heard similar comments about Air New Zealand, I hope to fly them someday.
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!
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
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,
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.
It’s really nice, but it looks tighter and smaller compared to the older 2-4-2.. good luck plus size flyers like myself😂😂😂😂
Beautiful aircraft, not sure about Boeing since the recent mishaps with their planes.
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.
3:40 The 2 jacks I think are the headphones (I dont know if this is accurate but its the best I can do 😇)
I'm looking forward to a Hawaiian Airlines aircraft named PU'U NAN'I.
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
Wait, Panasonic ex3 system? They cheaped out on brand new plane 😢 why not Panasonic Next or Thales Avant?
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 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.
Can we please get some Whats New In Hawaii videos
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.
It could be a USB C port next to the regular one, and the phone jacks.
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.
The small one next to USB Aa looks like a USB C port
Port there is a USB Type C port which is nice.
Let me guess whats inside. Ummm seats and more seats. Haaaa nah brah just kidding. Great vid!
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 😊
Wow great footage. Thanks for the detail and many different angles and lighting. As for Alaska Airlines merge/buyout I’m so bummed! Hawaiian airlines is so unique in their quality, experience, and staff. Alaska is going to ruin that. I’ll enjoy it while it lasts…it’s not for Ohana, it’s for $$😢
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.
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
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.
they are still in business??
It’s a c connector for all apple iPhone and tablet 15
You didn’t show the 1st class restrooms.. I do fly 1st class when I’m coming back to Hawaii👍👍
Interestingly the business class bathroom, only 1, is the exact same as the others on the aircraft. I took a look at it and forgot to mention it in the video. I think the Captain had just offered to show me the crew sleeping quarters so I got distracted.
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.
That is not paneling that is a screen built into the arm rest. You have to push the button to release the screen
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.
A beautiful a/c... Not crazy about the single window seats up front. For those that want to look out the window that will only be possible from a distance or out of your seat hunched over?
the inflight entertainment has a USB-C and USB-A plug
7:28 do they have entertainment screens?
Yes, the panel that I thought was the tray table below the seat is actually the IFE or entertainment screen.
Like any other airline I guess JUST NEED THAT BUNNY BODY KIT AND A SUPER CHARGER
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!!!
You have to pay extra for EXTRA COMFORT seats. Other airlines charge extra for those seats.
Made in America! USA! USA! USA!
So you pay for first class - but where do you store your in-flight stuff? Purse, ipad, laptop? Do you keep having to go to the overhead to retrieve what you need? Who designs these planes anyway. And the 3x3x3 for Premium Economy is horrible. Are any A330 being used now between SFO and HNL?
Yeah that 3x5x3 in economy is not popular at all. Currently Hawaiian Airlines does have A330 and A321neo flying these west coast routes. This aircraft is intended to handle the longer flights to Boston, Sydney and other long haul destination.
@@suitesandlobbies looks like they are using the 787 from HNL to SFO for about a month and then reverting back to the A330
That is to see whether there aren't any rats.
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!!
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
That’s a USB-C port. A newer edition to the USB family.
What route does this 787 fly?
Gonna start with some SFO, then LAX before taking on longer routes that the aircraft is intended to fly.
I think their old classic Lockheed L1011's back in the 1980's and 90's were more impressive.
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.
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.
That is a "type C" USB jack
Just watched it land at SFO an hour ago, non-revenue flight.
Nice!
Those first class seats gonna cost at least $3,000-5,000 one way too expensive for local people.
I might know a *few* things about planes 😅
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.
Type c charging
