Paul Davies flies from Oahu to the island of Hawaii.
The plane: Hawaiian has been flying this route since 1929 - it was actually the airline's first ever flight. Back then it was Sikorsky S-38 amphibian. Mine was a Boeing 717.
Class: In the cheap seats, but being a small aircraft there didn't appear to be much difference for anupgrade.
My seat: 11A. There was a nice view of Hilo and its surrounding bush as we circled to land.
How full: Busy, but comfortable.
Entertainment:Hawaiian Airlines' magazine is all you need for a short flight. Great articles on Hawaii, its culture and history, not just glossy stories on hotels.
The service: Service with the aloha spirit - it's always good on Hawaiian.
