Best EP to Hawaii
 
I have no particular loyalty to any airline, but want the best product available for the best price and I know that isn't always the cheapest and it's OK.
I'm looking for suggestions as to the Economy Plus and Premium Economy for the US West Coast, any place between San Diego and Seattle, to Hawaii, traveling in the fall.

Suggestions?

United has Economy Plus. Alaska has no premium economy product. I don't know If Hawaiian has a premium economy or not.

Delta has a premium economy product which is not expensive but worthwhile. I found UA's EP to be sucky the one time I've used it on a long international flight.

"I found UA's EP to be sucky the one time I've used it on a long international flight.' It would be sucky on a long international flight. But we're just talking a flight from the west coast to Hawaii. I always fly Biz internationally, and it would be unfair to compare Biz with EP. You have to compare it with regular economy.

We fy to Kauai every year, and I'm glad for United's Economy Plus as it has more space than economy. Alaska has much better flight times for us from Seattle, but no Economy Plus product, unfortunately. We may just "bite the bullet" next year and fly in economy on Alaska. (We got up at 3 am to fly to Kauai from Seattle via SFO, and we will get home well after midnight)

Never compared it to business. The comparison was to other PE products.

Ah, I misunderstood. Whose EP were you comparing it with?

I don't know about the classes as I always fly economy. But Hawaiian Air is my favorite airlines ever.

There's not much difference between e-plus on U.S. airlines. It's a coach seat with extra leg room no matter which one you fly.
