Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A321neo (189 seats)
189 seats: 49 good, 14 mixed, 15 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–4, seats A, C, D and F (First Class): first Class recliner with 39-inch pitch (Hawaiian's figure), away from the front galley and lavatory.
- Row 11, seats A, C, G and J (Premium Class): premium Class front row behind First Class: 35-inch pitch, nobody in front, though bags go overhead.
- Rows 12 and 14, seats A, C, G and J (Premium Class): premium Class window or aisle seat with 35-inch pitch, near the front for a quick exit.

Seats to avoid
- 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.
