Hawaiian Airlines said Wednesday it is upgrading its Honolulu-Sapporo service to Airbus A330-200 aircraft that will feature lie-flat seating and premium economy seating beginning in February.
Since initiating Sapporo service in October 2012, Hawaiian has carried about 200,000 people aboard its thrice-weekly flights on a Boeing 767-300ER. With the introduction of the A330, passengers will be able to choose either Premium Cabin with lie-flat seating, Extra Comfort premium economy and the Main Cabin. The Premium Cabin features 18 lie-flat leather seats that extend into 180-degree beds at 20.5 inches wide and 76 inches long. The Extra Comfort option features 36 inches of seat pitch, priority boarding, a complimentary amenity kit and a personal power outlet.
