Hawaiian Airlines First Class, Up To 8 Seats

With Amex’s new 20% transfer bonus to Hawaiian Airlines , I figured this was the perfect time to flag some first class (really, business class) award space to Hawaii!


If you’re looking for a trip in this month or next, this could be a great option for you!

Flight Experience


Regardless of cabin layout, you can expect friendly service and solid inflight catering. Please note that these tickets don't come with lounge access.


Boeing 787-9


The first class cabin layout is arranged in a 1-2-1 layout that's similar to Virgin Atlantic Upper Class on the A350. The window seats are angled away from the aisle while the middle seats are angled toward the aisle.

Each seat will have privacy doors and an entertainment screen (unlike their old product).


Airbus A330-200


This is the older product. You’ll find a 2-2-2 layout with little privacy, but every seat is lie-flat. The only way to guarantee aisle access without your seat mate needing to climb over you is to select a middle seat. Seats do not have IFE screens, so download some shows and movies to your phone or tablet before your flight.

Best Ways To Book


Hawaiian: Great Rate + Amex Transfer Bonus


Hawaiian offers a solid rate at 40,000 miles one-way. With the 20% transfer bonus from Amex, you’d only need to transfer 34,000 points. The one downside is that Amex is your only transfer option.
