Lei of the Stars

Hawaiian wants its customers to experience the ultimate in comfort and elegance aboard its brand-new flagship Boeing 787 aircraft.

Leihōkū—“lei of stars” in Hawaiian—is the newest class of premium travel from HA that will be offered only on its Boeing 787 aircraft. The premium service offers enclosed suites, fully lie-flat seats, electronically dimmable windows, and extra-large overhead bins.

Thousands of years ago, crews first sailed the Pacific Ocean by observing the sun, stars, winds, waves and wildlife. Today we celebrate those time-honored traditions with the Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 787, an innovative aircraft that pays tribute to our wayfinding history while setting forth a new path of discovery.
