Aloha Airlines

Pros: On time, great security, pleasant crew.
Cons: Worn seats; no snack to speak of.

We recently went to Hawai’i and flew 2 different airlines between islands. We were there for 3 weeks on 4 different islands. The one I am reviewing now is Aloha.

General Information

There are 3 inter-island...

Pros: You eventually do end up in Hawaii
Cons: rude, inconsiderate, non-responsive, lying personnel

I adore Hawaii. I love Hawaii.
REPEAT
I adore Hawaii. I love Hawaii.

What could be more poetic? Go to my favorite place on an airline that is named after the essence of Hawaii.... Aloha Airlines.

Poetic, no. Major,...

Pros: Great interisland service unless dealing with a specific ticket agent in Hilo.
Cons: Lousy Mainland service.

Update to the below review: I'm amending my rating of Aloha Airlines. REAL "aloha" does NOT include sexual harassment. If you have to ticket out of Hilo, make sure you have a female ticket agent at the Aloha desk. They've got this ticketing agent ...

Pros: inter island flights all day
Cons: only two choices

In the last 5 years I have travelled to a different Hawaiian Island from the one I live on an average of 5 times each year. Throw my husband into that mix and the plethora of people who have come to visit us and I think I can speak with some knowledge...

Pros: Everything is great. The services are overall, excellent. It will exceed your expectations.
Cons: Aloha Airlines having cons!? Maybe the negligible 31' seat pitch...

ALOHA AIRLINES Flight #481 (I'll just talk about the outgoing flight segment, return is very much similar) Roundtrip fair: $430.00 Pleasure/Business Trip Departure : Santa Ana (SNA) April 28 9:29 am (actual break from jet way, 9:20A) ...

Pros: Great Interisland and Mainland service!
Cons: Old 737-200s for Interisland service.

Pros: Open seating, gets there on time, good service
Cons: Some of the planes are old and outdated

Don't you just hate it when they tell you that you must connect flights to get to your location? I don't know about you, but I hate it. I almost always have bad experiences when connecting flights, whether it be losing luggage or having to wait 6 hours...

Pros: great service!
Cons: aging inter-island fleet.

Aloha, I believe, is truly a great airlines. It's well worth the money.

I have flown Aloha many times to all the major island. Their flights are always on-time, very quick, and their in-flight service is quite superb! The flight attendants...

Pros: Frequent service between islands, flights usually arrive on time
Cons: Open seating in coach can make it a bit of a scramble

Having just returned from Hawaii, Aloha proved to be an easy way for us to become island hoppers!

We purchased a coupon book of six tickets for less than $400 on Aloha Airlines. With these tickets we flew from Honolulu to the Big Island, from...

Pros: cheap tickets, great staff
Cons: no entertainment

The plane was on time and as we walked on board we found a pillow and blanket on each seat. This trip cost us $75 round trip, thanks to some of my frequent flyer miles, which could be used. After a little bit of research I found that there is no flight...

Pros: None
Cons: No added value for the price paid in First Class

Aloha Airlines touts itself as the #1 airline in Hawaii with the Aloha Spirit. Needless to say, the "Aloha Spirit" was not with the flight crew of my flight today, February 21, 2000.

As this was a holiday weekend (President's Day),...

Pros: Lots of free stuff during the flight, Oakland airport
Cons: Only two flights a day

When Hawaii residents hear the name "Aloha Airlines" most people think of inter-island flying as this Hawaii-based airlines is commonly known for its flights between the islands (i.e., Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island). Now this airline...

Pros: Very Hawaiian
Cons: Prices a bit high for short flights

When I have flown on Aloha Airlines I may have found it hard to make a critical analysis on the airlines procedures because of my enthusiasm to start my vacation. After all who could complain about an airline with a "Bird of Paradise" on the...

Pros: Outstanding service from SF Bay Area to Hawaii. Uses Oakland airport, not SFO. Competitive fares.
Cons: None.

I'm a Hawaii native ("kamaaina" to locals) -- not a native Hawaiian by descent, but by having been born and raised in the 50th state. I grew up with Aloha and Hawaiian Airline jets traversing the airspace over my home every day. I always lamented that...

Pros: friendly flight attendants, beverage and snack served on short commute
Cons: small airplanes for this commuter flight

We used Aloha airlines for island hopping on both our trips to Hawaii.
I thought for a small airline and a short trip they were great!

We flew from Maui to the Big Island of Hawaii and on the short ( probably less than 20 min if my memory...
