HONOLULU (KHON2) — The Travel + Leisure magazine asked its readers about their choice of the best domestic airlines through a recent survey they produce every year.

According to Travel + Leisure, Hawaiian airlines has ascended to the No. 1 spot for the first time ever.
“Hawaiian Airlines delivers true Hawaiian hospitality. They used to say Hawaii starts with the flight, and that is indeed true,” a WBA respondent said.
The airline won over readers with its “long-haul flights, particularly its meals, which are even served in the economy and some readers noted the airline’s excellence on interisland hops,” according to Travel + Leisure.
