HA51 leaves at 10 am EST and arrives at 3ish HST, so staying awake during the flight and then going to bed early in the evening local time helps the body adjust better. Of course, napping is inevitable, but I would actually say it’s better to stay awake as much as possible. Flights to Europe from mainland USA are often overnighters and it makes more sense to try and sleep on those.Try to sleep

Thanks for the suggestions to try the Seat Guru website! I had never tried that one out before, and I found it very useful!
So the extra comfort seats are OK? We are heading to Aulani in Sept. JFK to HNL, 11+ hrs. ugh! and I am not looking forward to that at all!! We purchased the extra comfort- and I hope that it will be comfortable.... the first class seats were too rich for my blood... Has anyone had the extra comfort- are these ok> and the entertainment pkg OK too??
[QUOTE="Hawaiian is one of the few airlines that still feeds you for free, but the only time I really enjoyed the food has been in 1st class. I just eat a good breakfast right before I board because I'll just pick at the lunch they serve. But, I think I may be an outlier because when I look round, most seemed to have consumed all/most of their food. Hawaiian updates their website that shows what meals they are serving for your respective flight.
