- Row 15, seats A, B, C, G, H and J (Main Cabin): main Cabin row between Premium Class rows, in front of the exit row: recline is likely limited (Hawaiian's drawing doesn't say) and there is no extra legroom.
- Row 27, seats A, B, C, G, H and J (Main Cabin): last row of the forward Main Cabin, against the lavatories Hawaiian draws on both sides behind it: recline is likely limited and the queue forms by your seat.
- Row 45, seats G, H and J (Main Cabin): last row on the right, against the rear lavatory Hawaiian draws behind it: recline is likely limited and the queue forms by your seat.
