Extra leg room will soon no longer be restricted to passengers who snagged the exit row or pay up for Business Class, as Hawaiian Airlines is joining the rank of carriers that offers a semi premium economy seat in the mid section of the plane. Launching August 1, 2014, Hawaiian Air A330 will offer economy class seats with an extra 5 inches of leg room and some upgraded amenities. Prices will range between $60 for flights to the US West Coast and Papeete and $100 for longer flights to New York and all other international routes.
Extra Comfort guests will enjoy the following benefits:
- Five more inches of legroom for a full 36 inches of room to stretch out and relax
- Priority boarding at the departure gate
- Complimentary on-demand in-seat entertainment featuring dozens of movies, TV shows and more (already complimentary to all customers regardless of class of service)
- Personal electrical power outlet to charge laptops and other electronic devices*
- Complimentary pillow and blanket (on all domestic routes)
