Guess I should update my experience on this deal...... I ended up working the deal to go from ICN-HNL-ICN (
with the mistake fare) to ICN-HNL(
layover)-SEA-HNL(
layover and very bad sunburn)-ICN. It was all in "First".
I did this in July, and quite enjoyed Hawaiian. The ICN-HNL departure was a snack (
kind of okay.... steak and kimch'i), and that was pretty much it until prior to landing. No menus or anything fancy. They did play a cool video of a guy playing a lulluby in a hammock to put people to sleep (
does anybody know who that is? ).... Mai Tais galore though. Yes, the legroom was not great, but I enjoyed the old 767 faux-wooden galley floors!
HNL-SEA: The Hawaiian lounge at HNL was useless. Didn't see it mentioned here before, so I was surprised that there was no alcohol!
Went to the United Red Carpet Club on the other side of the airport...... The dinner from HNL-SEA was exceptional (
truly yummy!), but prior to flying that boarding area was a mess. HNL needs to fix that!
SEA-HNL I was surprised that there was no lounge for First Class passengers (
not feeling entitled, it's just that all my other legs had lounges). I was perfectly happy going to the
Alaska Airlines Board Room with my Priority Pass card.....
HNL-ICN was just a fantastic flight! The Mai Tais helped numb the sunburn (
fell asleep on the beach in front of the Halé Koa) GREAT dinner, great crew, and great to be back home in Korea!
So I gotta say, not a bad deal from Hawaiian Air! I may just take them again. Yes the legroom isn't quite up to international C standard, but the food was, and the price (
even error-free! 
) isn't bad at all! ^
