When visiting Los Angeles, the only way for me is flying into Long Beach rather than LAX. While the plane is smaller and they don't have lay flat seats, the ease of getting off the plane and walking across the street to pick up a rental car beats the crowds and chaos of Los Angeles. Love the Long Beach airport! As for Hawaiian Air, the service was good but basic in First Class. Best part of the flight is the Sparkling Wine served prior to takeoff. The food is terrible with a Beef Brisket being covered in seaweed. Hate this. My Wife didn't care for the meal so she ordered Cup Noodles and was charged $8 in First Class. I ordered the Cheese Platter and paid $10 or $12 for the small serving. While I love Hawaiian Airlines, they need to up their game on service and food in First Class. They charge big money for these seats and then ding you for a Cup Noodles.
