"comfort is adequate, not luxury"
1 reviews Jim Thompson (United States)
Not Verified | Hawaiian Airlines refers to their Premium Economy seats as Extra Comfort. The seats on the A-330 is 18 inches and the pitch is 36 inches. Even with my backpack under the seat in front of me I am able to be fairly comfortable, even at 5'11. The general comfort is adequate, not luxury. Padding on the sets is fine for the six hours and 45 minutes you spend on the plane from boarding to deplaning when flying from the west coast. I have never had a problem with the IFE, though the selection could use a little more updating. Each IFE screen has USB charging ports and there is universal power for the Extra Comfort seats.

"lie-flat seats are very nice"
P Chater (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | My wife and I have flown the Hawaiian A330 three times, both in First Class and premium economy (Comfort) and are hooked. This was our most recent flight, and our adult daughter joined us. We all agreed that the lie-flat seats in First Class are very nice and have a unique look. (Premium Economy also was good, with row 13 having excellent legroom, but the lie-flat seats in First Class make the red-eye return flight far more enjoyable.) Very pleasant service by the personable flight attendants, decent food and snacks served with complimentary Mai Tais, and an ok selection of movies and TV shows (download from Netflix before flying!) All in all, we have largely abandoned using United from LAX to Hawaii, particularly when flying on this plane to and from Honolulu. We are flying the A321neo to Lihue in a few months and will report on that plane afterwards.

"not pay extra for premium economy"
Robert Allam (New Zealand)
Not Verified | I would not pay the extra money for premium economy or comfy seats it's a complete rip off. All you have is bit more legroom. The seats are budget with no extra padding. It really is a con job. We had seats 11A/B and they don't even recline properly because of the wall behind you. Then you have to put up with the clattering of the galley all night

"cramped and uncomfortable"
C Merton (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | The A330 seats were very small, cramped and uncomfortable. When the guy ahead of me put his seat back I had literally 8 inches of space between my nose and the seat back. Not good for a 9 hour international flight.

"seats in row 13 are best"
1 reviews Brett Kero (Australia)
Business Class seats 1F and 1G and the best get the best privacy and no light from the gallery and are away from bathrooms. In the economy cabin, seats in row 13 are the best, as they have huge leg room due to no wall to business class. It's worth the extra to buy these.
