Hawaiian Airlines Opens Ticket Sales on First Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner Flights

Dark/Light Mode (07/09/23)  Travelers from the Bay Area and Los Angeles planning a trip to Hawaiʻi can be the first to experience Hawaiian Airlines new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft.

Hawaiian's new flagship aircraft will debut 15 April 2024 with a daily service between Honolulu (HNL) and San Francisco (SFO) through 14 May 2024, followed by select flights between Honolulu and Los Angeles (LAX) starting 14 May 2024, and Maui (OGG) and Los Angeles from 15 May 2024.

Tickets on the flights are now on sale on the airline's website.

The 300-seat aircraft features Hawaiian's newest premium product, Leihōkū Suites (garland of stars): 34 suites with lie-flat seating, an 18-inch inflight entertainment screen, personal power outlets, wireless cell phone charging and direct aisle access.

Set in a 1-2-1 configuration with doors, the suites offer privacy or a shared experience with combinable double suites allowing couples to fall asleep while gazing at a starlit ceiling inspired by constellations that guided early Polynesian voyagers.

In developing its Leihōkū Suites, Hawaiian became the first airline to partner with Adient Aerospace, a joint venture between Boeing and Adient, a leading producer of automotive seats.

"Our 787's uniquely Hawaiian design and comfort, paired with the award-winning hospitality of our crew, will create an unparalleled experience for our guests on their travel to the islands," said Avi Mannis, chief marketing officer at Hawaiian Airlines.

Hawaiian's main Economy Class cabin (pictured) consists of 266 Collins Aerospace Aspire light-weight seats with ergonomically contoured back and armrests that maximize seat space, offer more shoulder and hip room and feature a 12-inch seatback monitor with USB-A and USB-C charging ports.

Each design element of Hawaiian's 787 celebrates navigators who have sailed the Pacific by observing the stars, sun, winds, waves and wildlife. The airline worked with design consultant Teague to realize Hawaiian's vision of honoring Pacific exploration in a modern aircraft.

Every detail of the interior pays homage to Hawaiʻi's pristine environment, from wall panels depicting native wood grains to the lavatory floor inspired by black volcanic sand. 'Ōlelo Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian language) is integrated into seat row numbers and other placards. Laminates and fabrics reflect the forms of native Hawaiian plants.

Hawaiian is scheduled to receive the first of twelve Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners in January, with additional deliveries planned through 2027.

The airline offers approximately 150 daily flights within the Hawaiian Islands, and nonstop flights between Hawaiʻi and 15 U.S. gateway cities as well as service connecting Honolulu and American Samoa, Australia, Cook Islands, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea and Tahiti.
