166 seats: 9 good, 14 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seat A (Falcon Gold): front Falcon Gold flat bed at the window.
- Row 4, seat D (Falcon Gold): falcon Gold flat bed at the back of the small cabin, away from the front galley and toilet.
- Row 8, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, behind the Falcon Gold cabin, with no one in front.
- Row 16, seats A, B, D, E and F (Economy): exit row with extra legroom
Seats to avoid
- Row 14, seats A, B, D, E and F (Economy): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited
- Row 14, seat C (Economy): in front of the overwing exits, so recline is likely limited.
- Row 33, seat A (Economy): last row, against the rear toilets.
- Row 33, seats B, C, D and E (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A321neo (189 seats)

- 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.
- Rows 12, 14 and 34–35, seats B and H (Premium Class): premium Class: more pitch than the Main Cabin
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.
