Airline meal on Hawaiian Airlines from Honolulu back to LAX on an evening flight on 11/2009. They offered two choices of pasta or a turkey sandwich croissant. Premium meal options included sushi rolls or taco salad for $10. The pasta was very tasty and the chocolate cake was good. I’ll definitely go with Hawaiian Airlines if it’s within $40 of other carriers for the hot meals alone. They offer drinks after takeoff, during the meal, and coffee/water after the meal, which is a nice touch.

Here’s a photo of what Hawaiian Airlines served for dinner on a flight from LAX to HNL in Oct 2009.

Roast Beef Sandwich with chocolate chip brownie. It was actually pretty good for being a complementary meal. Oat bread, roast beef, and a slice of cheddar cheese. The brownie was really filling, good size too. The packaging is 100% made from recycled material. Its nice that Hawaiian still serves meals on their flights from mainland to Hawaii.

In terms of “premium” meals, they offered sushi rolls with chicken teriyaki or chicken caesar salad for $10.  Hawaiian Airlines was very generous with serving drinks. We recieved a drink after take off, another drink with the meal, and coffee/tea/water afterwards.
