Will be booking flight from Boston to HNL, have never flown Hawaiian Air. Is the comfort class worth the purchase price? Thanks.

Depending on your seat location, I don't know that I would pay the extra for comfort class. My mom and I were on the 2 seat side with the 2-4-2 configuration, and I thought it was fine.
I recommend the upgrade if flying on an Airbus 330 or similar. LAX to HNL uses that plane and the extra comfort costs an extra $80 per person one way. You get extra legroom and access to the entertainment pack plus early boarding.
Was the seat hard?We just flew Hawaiian Back to LAX and had extra comfort. The leg room was good the seat comfort was horrible. The seats on our Southwest flight to Chicago were so much more comfortable. We were very disappointed with the lack of comfort in extra comfort. We did get a blanket and media player.
Yes, The price difference per person for comfort class is around 300$ ea. (just my wife and myself going).The OP is flying from Boston so I believe the cost to upgrade would be significantly more. Its usually priced based on distance/flight time, so the long haul flights are more.
Also, if they are flying the Airbus 330, I would say to check out the seat configurations before upgrading. We flew the Airbus 330 on Delta with the 2-4-2 seat configuration and having our own row of 2 really helped to offset that we didn't have that couple inches of legroom. It was very manageable for us.
We’re trying to decide if it’s worth it too..we’ll be flying Delta from Hilton Head to Atlanta then straight to Honolulu... we’ve done it several times and it is a long uncomfortable flight. So thinking of splurging on comfort + and hoping it’s worth it.
Glad to hear. Just booked yesterday!We flew the Delta to Honolulu flight in an Airbus 330 this past February and paid extra for the Delta Comfort seats. Money Well Spent !
So true....and your age matters too! We are seniors and have lots of aches and pains.The best answer to your question might depend on how wide or tall the biggest person in your party is. It's painful spending hours trapped in a seat where your thighs are squashed between armrests or your upper legs are longer than the available space. But the same seat can be fine for folks with smaller dimensions. If you want to get technical about making the decision, there are websites available that provide seat specs for the major airlines and aircraft.
Also remember that your plane can actually be changed at any time, so the class you pay for might still no end up being what you get, and I doubt you get refunded for that. Our plane home got swapped and we had crappy old seat back entertainment (but at least we had some!). Just make sure you understand the potential before you spend the money.
What I mean is that, as others have said, the amenities of the equivalent “classes” ca be different on different planes. So if you get swapped to one of those, I think it’s just considered bad luck. I agree it would stink!You hat doesn’t seem fair when I oh pay extra for it!
