FLYING HAWAIIAN AIRLINES Inter-Island: 717 Honolulu to Kona!

CLICK "CC" TO WATCH WITH SUBTITLES

My first ever flights were inter-island hops from Honolulu to the neighboring islands on Hawaiian Airlines Boeing 717s in 2004. Since then, I haven't retaken those flights until now. On my most recent visit to Hawaii, I was able to take a small trip over to the Big Island, which finally brought us onboard the Hawaiian 717 after 20 years. Needless to say, it was so cool to revisit my roots and I hope you enjoy this special video.
