As well as the new business class product the airline has unveiled new Amenity Kits exclusive to the ‘Premium Cabin.’

Hawaiian partnered with local designer Sig Zane to design these new kits.

The kits include just about everything the old one did. However, the patterns are very different, and the socks are a pretty cool flip flop design.

“We have this beautiful space, and there is only a limited number of business-class guests that fly us,” Chang explained. “And whether it’s to the Neighbor Islands, whether it’s to North America or international destinations in economy class, anybody with a ticket can buy a $40 lounge pass.”

The lounge also offers free wifi, free wine, free Maui craft beer, snacks and full catered breakfast, lunch and dinner options.

Access to the lounge is complimentary for Business class, and Virgin Australia platinum members.

Bottom Line

Hawaiian’s new business class is a huge upgrade from their current product. Hawaiian offer some great ways to upgrade like bidding and even upgrading at check-in starting at $500 which is a bargain considering it can cost up to $3500 when buying outright!
