Any tips for going on an Inaugural Flight?

So I just booked my flight from Los Angeles to Kahului with Hawaiian’s new 787! The flight isn’t until May 15th, 2024. I was just curious as to how these type of flights work? Should I get their earlier than usual?

Also this will be my first flight as an adult as I recently turned 18. I’ve never flown alone before so I was curious to see what it’s like to go solo.

Thank ya!

You might find some sort of party at the gate and/or onboard, giftbags and more!

These flights are for showcasing their new aircraft
and they still get you from Point A to Point B, but with a lot more celebration and joy!

You should probably arrive at the gate a bit earlier than usual to not miss anything.

Make sure to enjoy the moment and take lots of pictures!

There’s a 99% chance your flight won’t depart on time. Inaugurals never do.

I’ve flown solo quite a number of times, being a minor, and honestly, nothing really changes, especially if this is a domestic flight. In Europe (E.U.) at least it is incredibly easy to travel alone. I doubt it’ll be different in the US.
Just think about what your parents would do in this situation and you’ll be good ;)

Oh and we want pictures !

Flying solo in the U’S’ as a minor is super easy. It’s pretty much the exact same as flying with your parents just more fun.

Hmm maybe I should try to rebook a later connecting flight?

i still find it funny that haōleʻs find the chickens so crazy, like i mean are chickens not that common on the mainland? (no offense)

You are correct, 😂 the mainland does not have chickens running around unless your at a petting zoo or state fair. I think their great and beautiful.
