The finishes are gorgeous and I love the added touches on the seatback as well as carpet which most carriers tend to overlook.
Im not super familiar with Hawaiian's branding, but the inclusion of the teal on the seats and carpet seems like an intentional detail to further bring AS and HA's branding closer together.
Not to mention, the simple, wise choice of merely having the window seats… FACE THE WINDOW. (How other carriers managed to mess this up is such a face-palm.) Well done, AS!
It may seem that way but I actually think this teal accent is al Hawaiian's doing for some time. A number of its trimmings and uniforms feature teal. I think pink trim would be more on brand.
Too bad they cut HNL-AKL. I was hoping to have a nice stopover next year to break up the trip from the West Coast.
Looks like they will be adding SEAPPT and SEAKIX starting next summer with these aircraft
