ECONOMY TRIP REPORT: Hawaiian Airlines 717-200. Lihue (PHLI) to Honolulu (PHNL)

(8-3-24) Welcome back to another trip report video! This is a very special trip report. In this video, I took a Hawaiian Airlines island hopper from Lihue, Hawaii which is on Kaua’i island to Honolulu, Hawaii which is on O’ahu island. As you folks saw on my posts page on my channel, I was originally taking 4 island hopper flights. I ended up only taking 2 flights due to issues with my incoming mainland flights. One of the island hopper flights I didn’t get a window due to the flight getting cancelled. I had a window seat right next to the engine on the flight that got cancelled That was the flight coming from Honolulu. This flight was the only opportunity I had to film an island hopper. I officially had seat 24F but the gate agent moved me for no reason to seat 7F. I was upset about that. 24F was right next to the engine by the way. Besides that dumb issue, the flight was good. It was the quickest flight I have ever been on. The flight was also very scenic too. Other than that, enjoy the video!

This is my first video using Adobe Premiere Rush. So bear with me as I learn this new video editing software.
