I am planning a trip in July to Kona, HI. I would be flying SJC-KOA. It looks like the two main airlines doing this route are Hawaiian and Alaskan. I am hoping to earn AA miles on this flight (but if not, it's not the end of the world).

In terms of customer service and experience, I would appreciate some advice on whether I should be leaning toward Hawaiian or Alaskan Airlines. Thoughts?
