I'm looking into flights for a trip to the Big Island in September and would like to find out what airline you like the best and why? I'm looking for Coach, comfortable, meals, and movies (screens on the back of seats). It's my first trip to Hawaii! Thanks in advance.

where are you flying from?

Sorry, that might help. Dulles International (IAD). Thanks!

I asked a similar question about seatback movies last year. Responses said that Continental is the only airline that offers them en route to HI. But if you flew JetBlue or Song from east coast, you could at least get seatback movies as far as LAX...

(If you know the airline and plane type, Seatguru.com tells you about in-flight entertainment options.)

I have had 3 great trips on Hawaiian Air, but I'm flying from west coast US.

Even though I am more than a little pissed off at United right now, I have to admit that I love their non-stop service to Lihue from SFO. Maybe if they go belly up Hawaiian will pick up that route.
