They were exclusively using door L1 to board passengers, meaning everyone walked through first class to get to their seats (given how narrow the aisle is, that means I took a lot of bags to the face). The cabin on this flight was identical to the one we had on our outbound flight, and consisted…

Speaking of bags in the face, why do passengers wearing backpacks
Always turn sideways to ensure you get a bag in the face.
Oblivious?
The “reef” runway was a designated Space Shuttle landing area for emergencies and what not.
Enjoyed reading your review of this A330 flight as well as the previous 717 flight; your photographic powers have certainly heightened over the past few years; thank you also for your personal insights. Love all the Hawaiian Airlines branded items (glassware, serviettes, etc) and the emphasis on local Hawaii goodies (Hawaiian rum, Mai Tai and cuisine featured in the food/beverage) plus Hawaii 5-0 on the IFE. Happy and safe flying
@Jon. Amen. It's not just on airplanes, but also on trains, subways, and anywhere crowded. I recently flew AA from LAX to DCA, and the flight attendants requested boarding passengers to take backpacks off their backs and carry them in their hands. If only that happened with every flight -- along with the Air New Zealand announcement that electronic devices are to be used with headphones or in silent mode. It's amazing how many parents think it's acceptable for children to use iPads and other kiddie devices blaring away in the cabin.
What is the etiquette for pulling out the privacy divider on a flight? Ask your neighbour first, or just go ahead and do it?
@PDF, I think you first ask your neighbor if s/he wants to have relations with you and depending on the answer, you put it up or leave it down.
Hawaiian crew is the best! I don't love that meal choice and they have had that same one for a few months now. The ribs are meh and the noodles are even more meh. How often do they change it up on meal choice?
@PDF,
In my experience, I always make a joke out of it. I say something like, "Do you mind if I put this up? I'm a total mouth-breather when I sleep and it's not gonna be a particularly pleasant sight for you. Trust me..." That usually garners a chuckle and a "No worries, go for it" response.
..."that means I took a lot of bags to the face." OMFG. I laughed so hard. Comedy gold!
