Guests to enjoy Hawaiʻi-inspired cabin
design and 34 premium suites with lie-flat seats
HONOLULU, Sept. 6,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Travelers from the Bay Area and
Los Angeles planning a Hawaiʻi
vacation can be the first to experience the elegant,
island-inspired design and comfort of Hawaiian Airlines new Boeing
787-9 Dreamliner aircraft starting next spring. Hawaiʻi's hometown
carrier today began ticket sales for its 787 aircraft, which will
initially enter service between Hawaiʻi and San Francisco (SFO) and Los Angeles (LAX).
Hawaiian's new flagship aircraft will debut April 15 with daily service between Honolulu (HNL) and San Francisco through May 14, followed by select flights between
Honolulu and Los Angeles starting May 14, and Maui
(OGG) and Los Angeles from
May 15. Tickets are available at
www.hawaiianairlines.com.
Guests boarding Hawaiian's 787 will be immersed in a cabin that
evokes Hawaiʻi's beauty through bold textures, soothing
sunrise and sunset lighting, and sinuous ocean and wind patterns.
The 300-seat aircraft features Hawaiian's newest premium
product, Leihōkū Suites (garland of stars): 34
suites that envelop guests in a tranquil space with lie-flat
seating, an 18-inch in-flight 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.
"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.
In developing its Leihōkū Suites,
Hawaiian became the first airline to partner with Adient
Aerospace – a joint venture between the Boeing Company and
Adient, a world leader in automotive seats. Hawaiian's 787 Main
Cabin 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 shimmering 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.
The 787 offers enhanced cabin air filtration and its
carbon-fiber composite airframe permits travel at a lower cabin
altitude, resulting in a more comfortable flight. Guests will also
notice a quiet cabin thanks to acoustic-treated engine inlets, as
well as extra-large, dimmable windows, spacious overhead bins and
lavatory toilets and faucets with touchless activation.
Hawaiian is scheduled to receive the first of 12 Boeing 787-9
Dreamliners in January, with additional deliveries planned through
2027.
