some updates
still never received my upgrade codes or any email for that matter
after calling hawaiian miles they have "requested them for me" we will see where that goes
after speaking to supervisor he has "supposedly" put me on the first class upgrade list from hnl to lax
if this is true then i really appreciate it, bit it seems i have no way to verify this on my end and he could have just been talking
its worth noting that reservation which i have next week, is ito ogg hnl lax gua routing of course lax gua is AS (and paid upgrade to first on this one), the rest are hawaiian and the hnl lax is on the 787 that i would love to be in business for as well, but don't want to pay $4k or 50K miles, so hoping for the free upgrade
tomorrow i fly lih ogg then ogg koa
after not being about to check in for hours, after some help from an alaska airlines agent, finally able to check in on the hawaiian app and voila, i was upgraded to first on both my 717 flights
they will be my first ever flight with hawaiian and my first ever flights on the 717 which is exciting
of course i made sure to get a good window first seat to enjoy the island hopping view
also supposedly as a platnum i get to enter the lounge even in coach on island hopper flights, unrelated to me being upgrade to first, just sounds like they let there platinum's in which is amazing, but i will confirm tomorrow!!
