    It is unacceptable to give passengers the 787-9 business class seats - disgustingly old and embarrassing. They should retrofit all old business class cabins. It’s 2024!

    Excellent as always, Ben! I will try to catch some video from Bayfront Park. Do you know the flight number or estimated time over the numbers? I like getting the taxiing shots as well, and I’m hoping that Hawaiian is still using the “A” Gates? I had to put everything on hold the last few years, but I try to jump in here when I see one of your videos. I don’t know if you recall, but I flew on a UAL brand new 787-10 from SFO to EWR, and back to SFO the next early evening. The trip was not the destination, it was the flight. 😁 I flew in what I would call Int’l First Class, but I think UAL called it Polaris Business. That confuses so many people, myself included. The cabin configuration on my flight is almost identical to HAL’s First. It was a very comfortable trip, and it all went without a hitch. Good luck! I’m sure it will be great! Aloha 🍹 🍍 🌺 🐠
