‘Premium Select’ is the airline's new Premium Economy cabin featured on the A350 aircraft with a dedicated cabin, enhanced service and amenities and a newly designed seat for extra comfort.
Delta One is their business class cabin and features a sliding door on every seat with direct aisle access for everyone.

HAWAIIAN AIRLINES
Flights from: Honolulu to Sydney (MON, WED, THU, FRI, SAT)

Cabin Classes: Economy, Business Class
Code-Share Partners: Virgin Australia
Hawaiian Airlines has five flights per week Honolulu to Sydney. Hawaiian has one of the more generous economy class baggage allowance, with 70lbs (32kg) of checked baggage per passenger.
A refreshed cabin to both economy and business class cabins should grow customer satisfaction with the new service and cabin promises. While considered a full-service airline, Hawaiian Airlines do not offer the traditional international inflight service passengers would expect to Australia, opting for a domestic USA inflight service instead for meals.
Be sure to eat prior to departure or take food and snacks onboard with you as the basic service onboard is only one meal choice (Hawaiian chicken) and no vegetarian or other options.
