There's a strong emphasize on local snacks on all Hawaiian flights. In addition to the Koloa Rum Punch and the shortbread from Honolulu Cookie Company, you'll find local juices on the drink cart. For shorter interisland flights, they serve little containers of POG juice (more about that here). On the longer flights, you get the bigger can of POG juice. P.S. Did you know you can also buy POG juice online?

You got the free meals, and the free snacks. If you're hungry for more, check out the Pau Hana Cart! This cart sells odds and ends like extra earphones (Hawaiian branded in a cute case), blankets, etc.
BUT the best part about this cart are all the local snacks. You can buy furikake chips! Hurricane Popcorn! Caramel macadamia nut popcorn! Even Pau Hana Snack Mix (which is basically this Furikake Chex Mix).
Hawaiian Airlines has the best service of any airline I've flown. It doesn't matter if you're flying economy or business or where you're seated, the service is top notch across the board. I also love the flight attendant aloha attire, and all the flowers! I just feel very happy and "at home" when on a Hawaiian flight (the neatest part is when you fly the same route over and over again and you remember the flight attendants and they remember you!)
Hawaiian does local designer collaborations for in-flight amenities. A recent collaboration was with Kealopiko where all production is done on the island of Molokai. They really go out of their way to find culturally significant brands to collaborate with, and you can see the effort. It just makes me appreciate the airlines even more.
American Airlines stopped serving complimentary snacks in 2009, according to Nina Green, a public relations representative for the airline. In March 2011, Continental Airlines, which merged with United Airlines, stopped serving pretzels and Biscoff cookies. This decision was estimated to save the airline $2.5 million annually. Continental Airlines was also the last airline to do away with free hot meals; the last supper was served Oct. 12, 2010, according to NBC News.
Lippert examined the nutrition information for each snack, evaluating, by airline, "how to get the biggest bang for the nutritional buck." Then, she shared the unhealthiest and healthiest options with us.
While some flight attendants, like those on JetBlue, are more than happy to dole out extra free snacks, keep this in mind: passengers who opt for chips and cookies are more likely to want an additional snack to satisfy their hunger, while those who consume a more nutritiously dense snack, like peanuts, are not likely to experience food cravings after snacking, said Lippert.
The healthiest free snack on Southwest is the salted peanuts. "Peanuts are always my number one choice," says Lippert, because peanuts are filling, contain healthy fat, and a small amount will fill up hungry travelers. On some routes, Southwest also offers honey-roasted peanuts. If you have a choice between salted and honey-roasted, go for salted; the honey roasted have added sugar, says Lippert.
Surfboards, sunnies, and seashells? We feel a party mix coming on - just add pretzels and a few nuts! Inspired by pau hana (the Islands' version of happy hour) among friends and ohana ("family" in Hawaiian), buttery, roasted macadamias and pretzel pieces pair well with our rich milk chocolate for a salty-sweet, universally loved treat.
Best Bets: Among the individual snacks, the nuts might work if you shared them with at least one other person. The Hummus Snack Pack is also OK. Avoid the Deli Snack Pack, and the Wingz Kids Snack Pack is not a healthy choice
Avi Mannis: On morning flights, we offer a cold breakfast box with things like yogurt, fresh fruits and a savory muffin. On afternoon and evening flights, we offer a hot sandwich with chips or a snack.
Peanuts and pretzels tend to be airline snack staples. Fliers can rely on AirTran and American Airlines for a free salty bag of peanuts every flight. Alaska Airlines, Delta, United and Continental Airlines consistently hand out bags of pretzels. Southwest, however, is kind enough to offer a choice of either peanuts or pretzels.
Only a few airlines dare to offer complimentary snacks that aren't peanuts or pretzels. On a Delta flight, you can opt for Biscoff cookies. On Hawaiian Airlines, you can get a taste of the tropical island with Hawaiian Sweet Maui Onion Potato Chips and Pau Hana Snack Mix. JetBlue gives consideration to junk food-addicts, health nuts, and even kids with DORITOS Tortilla Chips, Terra Blues Potato Chips, and Keebler Animal Crackers. Read on to see what complimentary snacks your airline serves.
Hawaiian Airlines is still providing delicious island-inspired meals and snacks to its North American, South Pacific, and Asia routes during the COVID-19 pandemic. Passengers can enjoy complimentary drinks on flights of 250 miles or more in order to make their trip more enjoyable, which includes beer, wine, and liquor. Snacks are available for flights over 1,300 miles, but they may differ in quantity and flavor. To see a complete list of the meals served on Hawaiian Airlines flights, please go to their In-Flight Dining page. Hawaiian Airlines takes pride in providing a pleasurable, enjoyable, and secure travel experience for its customers during times of uncertainty.
The flight attendant inquired about my preference for sweet or salty snacks, and offered me a slew of salty snacks. They then offered them another meal because they had leftovers. I had no idea what to ask (it was just me). My brother, while waiting in line for immigration at a foreigner station, reported waiting for more than an hour. The Japanese line was empty. The three vaccinations you have received are not required to take a pre-flight covid test. Keep in mind that the requirements for entering Japan may change, so be familiar with them.
And what about your shortest domestic flight? As recently as the 1980s, ultra-short routes on mainline aircraft existed, such as the classic Oakland-San Fransisco flight on a United 727. In recent years however, several factors such as the high cost of jet fuel have caused many of these routes to disappear. The routes that have remained are now flown only on smaller turboprops or regional jets. According to ratings, data, and flight search site Routehappy, none of the five largest US airlines fly anything larger than a Bombardier CRJ-900 on a flight lasting less than 40 minutes. A full 20 percent of these flights are operated with the 30-seat Embraer E120 turboprop, while another 10 percent use the slightly larger Bombardier Dash 8 series 100 and 200. And yet there is one place where ultra short flights are not only commonplace they are frequent, and where the aircraft of choice is a mainline-sized Boeing 717.
The flight across the continental United States was relatively smooth and about five and a half hours in we crossed the coast of California, somewhere near San Francisco. The cabin was mostly dark as passengers closed their windows to keep the bright winter sunlight out. Many passengers seemed to use this time to sleep, though we avoided that to better help ourselves adjust to a timezone five hours behind what we were accustomed to. The flight attendants made several passes giving out water and collecting garbage, however they mostly worked from back to front making it a challenge to see them coming and catch their attention. On more than 1 pass, we missed them.
A couple hours outside of Honolulu, the cabin crew came around with the second meal and drink service. This time it was a cold selection of fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, and chocolate covered macadamia nuts. It was quite yummy, but could have stood to be a bit more substantial. Over the course of the flight, we found that we ate the selection of snacks that we had brought along, and still we found it necessary to visit the inflight snack bar for a very expensive bag of chips.

Upgrade your ingredients. Instead of chicken wings and nachos, go for pupu (snacks) that are less processed and feature just a handful of high-quality ingredients. Try cut fruit, trail mix, or even poke for a nutrient-packed snack that will tide you over until mealtime.
The Hawaii touches were everywhere: a fuschia flower stamped on my boarding pass, Hawaiian shirts on the flight attendants and seat-back screens giving passengers a virtual tour of the islands during the safety briefing.
Hawaiian Airlines has been our number one airline to fly to Hawaii because everything from ease of check-in, customer service, hospitality, comfort and overall experience every time we fly to the islands. I joked with my husband when we got married that one of my vows was we would always live in a city where Hawaiian Airlines has direct flights to the islands. Priorities, right? I mean who wouldn't want to be one plane ride away from this?
One thing I have always loved about Hawaiian Airlines is that they have always had complimentary meals for all cabins. In fact, they are the only trans-pacific carrier to offer complimentary meals for over three decades now. 5-7 hour flights from the west coast usually means a meal or two during the flight. Or just lots of snacks if you ask my 7 year old. Hawaiian has always had the best in-flight meals that I have ever had. I know most people think that airline food isn't that great, but I beg to differ. Especially when flying home from Maui 2 years ago and my kids devour their teriyaki meatballs, rice and salad and tell me I need to ask the airline pilot for the recipe. I had to explain how the pilot didn't make it but professional chefs hired to create meals specifically for the airline. These complimentary in flight meals also made it easier for us to not have to worry about packing food and saving room in carryons for books, toys, anything to keep the kids occupied. Knowing that the food is good and that our kids will eat it definitely is a bonus when flying Hawaiian. 2ff7e9595c
