First trip report here!

Well, I decided not to do a TR on my NW A330 flight MSP-HNL, so I saved my camera battery for the shorter flight, on a HA 717 doing HNL-OGG.
I'm sorry for the glare on some pictures from the window, it's really bugging me and I don't know if there is a way to get it off.

Airline: Hawaiian Airlines
Aircraft: Boeing 717-200
Registration #: N484HA
Flight Number: 546
Departure Time: 4:50 PM

So, after an 8 hour flight from MSP, we [my family and I] headed toward the Interisland terminal. On the way there I saw Barack Obama's chartered North American 752 over at the FBO ramp.

I also saw a QantasLink Dash 8-400
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/qantaslink.jpg
After that quick stop for some pictures, we continued our trek to the interisland terminal. Right as we got there, I spotted some Aloha Airlines murals, so I got a picture of those, as I have a feeling they won't be around for long.  Sad
We ate at Burger King then went to gate 54, where our flight would be departing. I spent the wait for our flight taking pictures of airlines heading in and out of the interisland terminal, which was composed of Hawaiian Airlines, Island Air, go!, go!Express, Pacific Wings, Mokulele Airlines, Trans Air, and Corporate Air. Those photos will eventually be available on my website, www.freewebs.com/kregaxn. We boarded our plane, N484HA.

I got a pic of our neighbor, N477HA.

Then we started taxiing out.

Aloha Airlines B732, N835AL, a sad sight.  Sad
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/N835AL.jpg
We passed N27318, a go! CRJ200 on our way to runway 8L.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/N27318.jpg
I saw a North American 757 or 767 (couldn't tell) turning crosswind.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/northamerican.jpg
I was wondering who was on final approach as we were waiting for take-off and there was no one ahead of us...and this Memphis ANG C-5 Galaxy came roaring over us!
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/memphisang.jpg
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/memphisang_2.jpg
We took off over downtown Honolulu and off toward Maui.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/downtownhonolulu.jpg
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/downtownhonolulu_2.jpg
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/diamondhead.jpg
Soon after departure we were served with delicious Passion Orange Guava.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/food.jpg
The flight was going pretty fast, and soon Molokai started rollin' in.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/molokai.jpg
And after that Maui and Lanai came into sight...
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/maui.jpg
...followed by mountain on Maui.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/mauivolcano.jpg
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/mauivolcano_2.jpg
There was a barge cruising off the coast of Maui and I managed to get a picture of it.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/barge.jpg
There's the road I'll be traveling on in about 45 minutes on my way to Lahaina!
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/mauiroad.jpg
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/mauiroad_2.jpg
And there is Molokai once again surrounded by clouds.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/molokai_2.jpg
On approach to Kahului, a nice view of the coast.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/mauicoast.jpg
Some cool turbines on a mountain in Maui.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/turbines.jpg
Bad glare on this one! Farm plantations on final approach to OGG.
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/mauiplantation.jpg
A lot of Gulfstreams and a Falcon!
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/bizjets.jpg
A bunch of helicopters used for tours.

http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/islandairdelta.jpg
The Bradley Pacific fuel truck!
http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk128/kregaxn/BPA.jpg
Well, that was my flight! I know it's not that good of a TR, but it's my first one so I'll improve [I hope]!!
Any questions? Fire away!

How was the flight overall? What kind of BOB did they have? I always fly to Hawaii on United 1 or 3, so i've wondered what the NW comparison is.

Quoting AllegiantAir (Thread starter):
We ate at Burger King then went to gate 54,

I remember my first time in HNL, checking out the BK and seeing value meals just about hitting $10. I almost fell over!


Do you know if HA is still operating 767 on HNL-OGG at all? I'd love to get on one of those.

Anyways, nice TR and hope you enjoyed West Maui. If you ever get the chance, I highly recommend flying Island Air out of JHM- totally wild ride. Aloha!

This might be a silly question, but...I don't have a great sense for Hawaii's geography. Are 717s utilized on these routes ETOPS certified? Or are the islands so close together (relatively) that such certification isn't necessary?

It looks like they are every once in a while (busy days/times). You can find 67 flights by looking for HA 1*** flight numbers.

Definitely not ETOPS. The islands are very close together, and the longest overwater portion is only about 20 minutes (oahu to kauai). Check out google eart, you'll see how close the islands are to each other.

Very nice flight, the F/As really helped give you a "hawaiian" feel by the music playing while boarding and deplaning, and the guava juice available onboard. Sorry, but what is BOB?

My flight was last Tuesday, there was Obama's plane at one of the FBO's and another NA plane in the standard livery parked among the ANG cargo planes.


Thanks you everyone for the kind remarks! I'm thinking of doing a TR for my next NW HNL-MSP flight.

Hello everyone. I'm a pilot for HA, and thought I could answer a couple of these questions for you.

Quoting Af773atmsp (Reply 1):
How long was the HNL-OGG flight?

Block time for these is normally scheduled for 36 or 37 minutes (pushback to shutdown). The inflight portion is normally about 22 minutes HNL-OGG.

Quoting JpetekYXMD80 (Reply 8):
What kind of BOB did they have?

The interisland flights don't have any Buy On Board because the flights are too short. There's barely enough time to hand out water or juice, then collect it before landing. On our transpacific flights, we offer free meals - usually a choice of a hot meal (chicken or pasta), or a turkey sandwich with chips. Water, soda, coffee and tea are free. Alcoholic beverages can be purchased.

Quoting JpetekYXMD80 (Reply 8):
Do you know if HA is still operating 767 on HNL-OGG at all? I'd love to get on one of those.

Yes we are, at least through September, and probably into October as well. We won't have the first of our additional 717's online until that time. I'm on the 767, and have flown a few of these interisland trips. It sure is a change from the usual 5 (or 10) hour legs that I'm used to!

Quoting TWA757 (Reply 9):
Are 717s utilized on these routes ETOPS certified? Or are the islands so close together (relatively) that such certification isn't necessary?

No they are not ETOPS certified. That is only required for flights more than 60 minutes from a suitable airport. On these flight you're not more than about 10 minutes from some place to land.

HAL each time I've had the pleasure of being a passenger on any HA flight, from the island flights to the pre B767s to mainland west coast, the service and experience has always been superb. Last flights were a day trip from HNL-KOA-HNL last May, much the same
friendly smiling hospitality. Just booked the next HA flight in March on the very same route as this report.....that is unless CO brings back the IAH-OGG non stop, then sorry to say unless we do some island hopping we won't have the pleasure of the HA experience on this trip!
