I just flew this same HA452 route and totally agree the free Wi-Fi blew me away. It made the 9.5 hours fly by. The crew's energy and the laid-back island vibe really set it apart from other trans-Pacific flights. Flying economy on Hawaiian Airlines from Sydney to Honolulu was surprisingly pleasant, especially thanks to their fast, free Starlink Wi-Fi. The flight runs on an A330 in a comfy 2-4-2 layout, and even the aisle seat felt spacious. Service was cheerful, meals were decent, and the water was offered often. Throw in generous baggage allowances and standard treatment for surfboards and bikes, and you’ve got a solid long-haul option that blends function with that signature aloha charm.

Anyone else experienced Starlink Wi-Fi at 35,000 feet? Would love to know which other airlines are making this the new standard.
