Pre-game the Alaska way with all things PRE

Whether you’re catching a flight or the tail end of Russell Wilson’s PRE-season, we’ve got you covered on all things PRE at Alaska.   

PRE-check yourself through TSA  

We want to make sure you arrive at your gate with plenty of time to catch your flight, despite the extra busy airports. Consider joining trusted traveler programs like TSA Pre-Check®, Global Entry, Nexus, or SENTRI. Membership in these programs gives you access to the faster security screening lanes at participating airports, where you can keep on your shoes, belts, or light jackets and your laptop can stay in your carry-on. 

PRE-order your Signature Fruit & Cheese Platter  

Enjoy ingredients inspired by the West Coast, from snacks to freshly prepared meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Pre-order your favorites ahead of your trip (from 2 weeks to 20 hours prior to your flight) on our website or mobile app. 

A limited number of fruit & cheese platters are available by pre-order only on trips 1,100+ miles.  

Pre-mium Class gives you more space.  

Treat yourself to 4 inches more legroom with our Premium Class Cabin seats. And, enjoy complimentary beer, wine and cocktails for those 21+!  Premium also means you can board early, access overhead bin space before space fills up and be among the first to deplane when you arrive to your destination. 

Preprint bag tags and check your bags. 

You’ll likely make it through the security line even quicker by reducing your carry-on items. We recommend checking your bags instead. Brush up on our checked baggage policy and then print your own bag tags at home to save even more time at the airport. 

Pre-pack the essentials  

Masks are still required, per federal law. So, please remember to pack your mask! In case you forget yours or lose it, don’t worry we’ve got you covered—simply ask us for a mask.  

Travelers wearing a mask have a .003% or NEAR-ZERO CHANCE of being exposed to the virus, even on a full aircraft (according to a Department of Defense study).

Pre-view the most movies in the sky* – for free. 

Snuggle into your seat and grab some popcorn – we’re bringing the movie theater to you. Choose from over 500 free movies and browse 550+ episodes of more than 80 TV series in our entertainment library. 

Most aircraft feature our streaming entertainment system Alaska Beyond™ Entertainment, letting you watch free movies and TV shows on your own device.

Mahalo on Wheels: Delivering Thanks to Our Employee ʻOhana

Inspired by the legendary local Manapua men, who sell the signature steamed buns, fried noodles and other local treats from their van, Hawaiian Airlines very own 'Mahalo Van' has been surprising employees across our company carrying similar snacks and goodies delivering messages of appreciation.

Our Purpose and Values committee launched The Summer Appreciation Pop-Ups in early July to mahalo each work group – from cargo to guest service agents, mechanics, crewmembers and corporate teams, among others – who have worked tirelessly throughout the pandemic.  Our maintenance team, with the help of longtime partner Pow!Wow! Hawaii, spent over 180 hours transforming an unused company shuttle into a colorful display of gratitude, now known as the ‘Mahalo Van.’

Mahalo Van volunteers serve sweat treats and shakas.

"Our employees not only worked during the pandemic, so many of them worked harder than ever before given the constant changes and increased challenges," said Alisa Onishi, senior director of brand, culture and community relations. "It's a simple gesture but we really wanted to recognize our team's hard work. A 'thank you' and 'enjoy this' goes a long way. Especially when it's among fellow colleagues."

The Mahalo Van makes a stop at the crew center at HNL.

The Mahalo Van is staffed by employee volunteers, including senior leaders, and stocked with favorite local treats like lemon peel gummies, furikake popcorn and shave ice cups. The cultural resource center located in our corporate headquarters became the designated poster-making area where employees got creative with their mahalo messages.

Mana Kanahele, a ramp lead on our airport operations team, is also a passionate artist.

"I've been doing art for as long as I can remember, and I was inspired to make a sign for my fellow ramp employees, and for everyone, because I, too, am appreciative of them," Kanahele said. "[At Hawaiian] We want everyone to feel like ohana, feel welcome, and you can't get that anywhere else."
 

What's the next stop for the Mahalo Van?

"For our employees not based in Honolulu, we're sending gift boxes to all of our stations with similar sweet treats,” Onishi said “We definitely want to do more fun events with the van. It was a labor of love and represents the pride our employees have for each other.”

Check out Hawaii News Now's coverage of the Mahalo Van and interviews with Onishi and Kanahele below.

HONOLULU – The University of Hawai'i at Mānoa and Hawaiian Airlines today entered into a three-year, $1.7 million exclusive sponsorship agreement that extends the decades-long relationship between Hawaii’s home team and Hawaii’s hometown carrier. As the “Official Airline of UH Athletics,” Hawaiian will welcome onboard student-athletes, coaches and staff representing the university’s 21 varsity athletic programs in competitions on the U.S. Mainland.

“We’re proud Hawaiian Airlines remains a member of our valued corporate partner family, a legacy relationship now spanning over 30 years,” said UH Athletics Director David Matlin.  “While we appreciate their longstanding commitment to our overall athletics programming, more importantly, we’re grateful for their extreme care around ensuring safe and efficient travel for our student-athletes, coaches and staff.”

“We’re thrilled to continue building upon our partnership with UH Athletics despite the challenges brought on by the pandemic, and we take immense pride in safely and comfortably transporting their teams to competitions so student-athletes can arrive rested and ready to compete,” said Peter Ingram, president and CEO at Hawaiian Airlines. “I can confidently say that all of us at Hawaiian Airlines will be cheering on our home teams and we look forward to a winning season.”

Under the agreement, Hawaiian will enjoy corporate partner branding benefits in signage, digital integration on official athletic platforms and use of marks, among other channels and assets. The airline will bolster its Flying with the Bows social media features in the new term, including student-athlete insights and in-flight surprises for its guests. 

Hawaiian, a Diamond Level partner of UH Athletics and a sponsor for three decades, will title sponsor the 2021 Rainbow Wahine Volleyball Classic on Aug. 27-29.   Fans can tune in on TV via Spectrum OC16 and Radio via ESPN Honolulu.

The UH Athletics and Hawaiian Airlines relationship was secured by Hawaii Sports Properties, the university’s athletics multimedia rightsholder and Honolulu-based LEARFIELD team.

Boeing and Alaska test technology to make flying safer and greener

 

One of the paths in our roadmap to net zero by 2040 is fleet renewal and continuing to test and adopt technology to further improve our fleet’s efficiency. This partnership with Boeing is one way our company invests in research and development and the future of aviation. If these technologies prove particularly valuable, we’ll advocate for those being on future aircraft.

This month, 250 students stopped by our Anchorage hangar to explore the latest technology Boeing and Alaska are testing to make aviation safer and more eco-friendly.

Planemakers like Boeing must test absolutely every thing on a plane before guests ever step on board. The students, part of Alaska’s Native Science and Engineering Program (ANSEP), learned all about our industry and Boeing’s latest developments that will help us reach net zero carbon emissions by 2040.

In its eighth iteration, Boeing and its partners, including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), using one of our 737-9 aircraft before it is delivered to us in early 2022. Test flights began in late June, flying around the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, California and Montana to test out various technologies.

 

Boeing’s ecoDemonstrator program, started in 2012, takes innovative technologies from the lab, tests them on real aircraft and implements the most promising tech in its products and services.

What’s the newest tech?

Low-profile anti-collision light – an aircraft body needs to be as streamlined as possible – anything sticking out creates drag and reduces efficiency. Anti-collision lights currently are located on the top and bottom of the fuselage and stick out so they can be easily seen.

A low-profile light is being tested with a new lens so the light doesn’t stick out as far but can still be easily seen. This design also moves the electronics from outside to inside the aircraft, improving the light’s reliability.

Recycled Carbon Fiber Sidewalls – Boeing is testing replacing conventional cabin wall insulation with composite waste material from the construction of a Boeing 777X wing to make sidewalls stronger and lighter. The panels will be tested to ensure they’re as quiet as the ones in service today.

NOAA Greenhouse Gas Measurement – NOAA uses data from commercial airplanes – such as wind and temperature – to improve climate modeling and long-term forecasting.

For better long-term climate modeling, they need to measure the concentrations of existing greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane, water vapor). Our airplane is helping NOAA determine the best placement on the airplane for air sampling probes, and the agency hopes to add the technology across fleets of commercial plans to crowdsource data in real-time worldwide.

Non-halon fire suppressant – Halon 1301 is an ozone layer-depleting agent that has not been in production in the U.S. since 1994 (and the only places it’s still used is for aviation fire suppression, the oil industry and in military applications). A new fire extinguishing agent, CF3i, is being tested that would be significantly less damaging to the ozone layer.

Additional technologies include wireless sensors and drone inspections to improve maintenance efficiency, new technologies on the flight deck to enhance safety and fly more efficiently and advanced engine nacelle treatments to reduce community noise.

Launched in 1995, ANSEP focuses on increasing opportunities for Alaska Natives in science and engineering-related careers by placing students on an education and career path to leadership. We’ve supported ANSEP for over 10 years, flying students from communities across Alaska to Anchorage for classes and inspiring them to find rewarding careers in aviation.

Fun facts:

  • The split wingtips you see on our new 737-9 and other new Boeing aircraft came from a prior ecoDemonstrator aircraft test and increase fuel efficiency by 2%.
  • More than one-third of the technologies tested have advanced into Boeing’s products and services.
  • The ecoDemonstrator plane flies mainly using a 30-50% blend of sustainable aviation fuel and Jet A fuel.
  • There’s a fun surprise on the right side of the aircraft’s design. Can you spot what it is?

Flying on an airplane is safer than ‘grocery shopping or eating out,’ says experts

Updated April 18, 2022

While doing anything besides staying in your bubble assumes a level of risk, we believe it’s safe to fly—and experts agree. 

According to research, airplanes are the safest indoor environments globally, and flying remains relatively low risk. We love to hear it and hope you enjoy flying with us. 

Air travel is the safest form of transportation thanks to… 

Hospital-grade air filtration 

HEPA filters remove 99.9% of airborne particles, including viruses like COVID-19 and other variants. 

Clean air exchange 

Outside and filtered air in the cabin is exchanged every 2–3 minutes, giving better ventilation than grocery stores and office buildings. 

Top-down air flow 

Air flows from the ceiling to the bottom of your seat, instead of front to back, minimizing particle movement throughout the cabin and reducing contact other guests. 

Wearing Masks

A face mask or covering has been proven to reduce the spread of COVID-19 according studies and the CDC. While masks are no longer required to be on our flights as of April 18, 2022, we respect your decision to keep using this added layer of protection. Above all, we hope you’ll treat each other with kindness and respect throughout the travel journey and beyond. 

Getting vaccinated — but not required to travel. 

Getting fully vaccinated has proven to be the best way to protect yourself & others from the coronavirus and the many variants which continue to lurk around right now. So, while it is not a requirement to fly, we encourage you to do so.  

With over 100 ways to keep you safe, our Next-Level Care meets hospital-grade health safety measures and recommendations from experts, including researchers at Harvard University’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health, who found a “layered approach” lowers the spread of viruses on planes. 

“This layered approach, with ventilation gate-to-gate, reduces the risk of SARS-CoV-2 transmission onboard aircraft below that of other routine activities during the pandemic, such as grocery shopping or eating out,” the report says.

Sisterly Love: Coming Together to Care for Japan’s Coastlines

The beautiful stretch of pristine white sand, palm trees and waterfront resorts make Japan's Shirarahama Beach reflective of Honolulu's Waikiki Beach. It comes as no surprise that the two beaches, popular destinations for residents and visitors alike, have shared a special "sister" relationship since 2000 – one of 24 sister state and city relationships between the two archipelagos.

Shirarahama Beach in Wakayama Prefecture in the Kansai region shares a "sister-beach" relationship with Honolulu's Waikiki Beach.

Beyond their visual beauty, Hawai‘i and Japan share a similar philosophy when caring for each other and the environment. In Hawai‘i, we "mālama" (take care of) one another, our land and our natural resources. It's more than an action; it's a mindset. In Japan, the concept of Omoiyari, or the art of compassion, is a shared understanding of consideration in Japanese society.  

It is with these principles in mind that the Shirarahama Waikiki Beach Friendship Committee invited our Hawaiian Airlines Japan-based, Team kōkua employee volunteers to join a beach cleanup project at Shirarahama Beach in Wakayama Prefecture in the Kansai region. More than 150 participants, including city officials, tourism agencies and local hotels like Nanki Shirahama Marriott, community members, as well as employees from our Japan sales team and their families, donned purple Team Kokua T-shirts and spent the afternoon picking up trash along the half-mile coast.

Team Kokua members joined the Shirarahama Waikiki Beach Friendship Committee in a beach cleanup project.

Hawaiian’s Japan Country Director Takaya Shishido reflected on the importance of Japan and Hawai‘i businesses working together on initiatives that promote sustainability: "We are honored to join the Shirarahama Waikiki Beach Friendship Committee in a beach cleanup that shares a special connection with Hawai‘i,” he said. “Through these activities, we can share with residents and travelers what it means to travel pono (responsibly) and why preserving our coastal communities is an important step in building a sustainable future."

Mālama and Omoiyari are similar philosophies shared in Hawai‘i and Japan when it comes to caring for each other and the environment.

Before the sun began to set, participants arranged 2,021 candles across the sand with a message for the sister beach, located over 6,000 miles across the Pacific. "ALOHA WAIKIKI" shone brightly from the beach while a fireworks display illuminated the night sky.

Following the cleanup, the group arranged 2,021 candles with a message recognizing the sister-beach relationship.

"Japan and Hawai‘i share such a special relationship,” Keiko Tsukui, Hawaiian’s manager of Japan partnerships and promotions, said following the ceremony. “I’m grateful that all of us, many of whom work in travel and tourism, can come together with a common goal of caring for these cherished areas so that they can be enjoyed by generations to come.”

  • Requiring guests and guest-facing employees to wear face masks or coverings, with guests required to wear masks throughout their travel, including at our airport spaces, during boarding, in-flight (except when eating or drinking) and when deplaning.
  • Performing enhanced aircraft cleaning between flights and during overnight parking.

Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance

In July 2021 , the Company published its 2021 Corporate Kuleana Report reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and outlining its progress advancing various environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. A link to the report can be found through the Investor Relations, Corporate Responsibility section of Hawaiian's website.

Addressing climate change remains one of the Company's key ESG priorities. The Company has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 through ongoing fleet investments, more efficient flying, carbon offsets, industry advocacy for air traffic control reform and development of sustainable aviation fuel supply. Starting this year, the Company has pledged to offset emissions from international flights above 2019 levels, in accordance with the International Civil Aviation Organization's Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA).

In 2020, the Company decreased Available Seat Miles (ASMs) by 63.3 percent and Revenue Passenger Miles (RPMs) by 74.3 percent compared to 2019. The Company's CO2 greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) dropped commensurately by 60.7 percent.  After adjusting its fuel consumption figures to remove cargo-only flying, the Company reduced CO2 emissions intensity per ASM year-over-year by 2.1%.

The Company also defined steps it is taking to foster diversity and inclusion. Evidence-based processes to minimize bias in hiring and promotional practices across the Company have contributed to team diversity, with approximately 78% of Hawaiian's active workforce identifying as diverse based on ethnicity and 44% based on gender.

Third Quarter 2021 Outlook

The Company expects to continue to rebuild its network in the third quarter, driven primarily by North America and Neighbor Island flying, as the timing of International demand recovery remains uncertain. The Company expects improvement in total revenue, with continued strength in North America demand, and steady improvement in Neighbor Island routes. The Company expects an increase in operating expenses, excluding non-recurring items, primarily driven by the increase in capacity as compared to the second quarter, higher fuel price, higher airport rates, and costs related to preparing for the resumption of more significant international flying.

The table below summarizes the Company's expectations for the third quarter ending September 30, 2021 , expressed as an expected percentage change compared to the results for the quarter ended September 30, 2019 , as applicable.

Table 3.
Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.
Economic Fuel Expense (unaudited)

The Company believes that economic fuel expense is a good measure of the effect of fuel prices on its business as it most closely approximates the net cash outflow associated with the purchase of fuel for its operations in a period. The Company defines economic fuel expense as GAAP fuel expense plus losses/(gains) realized through actual cash (receipts)/payments received from or paid to hedge counterparties for fuel hedge derivative contracts settled during the period.

  • During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , the effective tax rate included a tax benefit of $9.2 million and $23.4 million , respectively, resulting from the rate differential between the prevailing tax rate of 21% during the years that generated net operating losses and the previous tax rate of 35% that was in effect during the years to which net operating losses were carried back as a result of the enactment of the Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.
  • During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 , the Company recognized $111.6 million in contra-expense related to grant proceeds under the PSP Extension Agreement. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 , the Company recognized $95.1 million and $245.2 million , respectively in contra-expense related to grant proceeds under the PSP Extension Agreement. The grant proceeds were recognized in proportion to estimated wages and benefits expense over the period the PSP Extension Agreement covers.  The Company expects to fully recognize the remaining grant proceeds by the end of the third quarter 2021.
  • Loss on extinguishment of debt is excluded to allow investors to better analyze our core operational performance and more readily compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below.
  • Changes in fair value of fuel derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period, and include the unrealized amounts of fuel derivatives (not designated as hedges) that will settle in future periods and the reversal of prior period unrealized amounts.
  • Unrealized loss (gain) on foreign debt is based on fluctuation in exchange rates and the measurement of foreign-denominated debt to our functional currency.
  • Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period, including the unrealized amounts of foreign currency derivatives (not designated as hedges) that will settle in future periods and the reversal of prior period unrealized amounts.
  • The Company recorded the following as special items:
    • During the three months ended March 31, 2020 , a charge of $20.2 million was recorded for the ratification of a collective bargaining agreement with the Association of Flight Attendants in April 2020 (related to service prior to January 1, 2020 ).
    • During the three months ended March 31, 2020 , a special charge of $106.7 million was recorded for goodwill impairment resulting from the decline in the market value of the Company's equity (i.e., share price), and the Company's inability to support the carrying value of goodwill on its financial statements.
    • During the three months ended June 30, 2021 , a special charge of $9.0 million was recorded for the termination of the Company's 'Ohana by Hawaiian passenger and cargo operations, which operated under a Capacity Purchase Agreement (CPA) with a third party carrier.  The charge included $6.4 million related to the write-down of the asset group and $2.6 million related to the early termination of the CPA.
    • During the six months ended June 30, 2020 , the Company recorded special items of $34 .0 million comprised of the following: (a) an impairment charge of $27.5 million to fair value the Company's ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets, (b) an impairment charge of $3.4 million to fair value the Company's commercial real estate assets, and (c) an approximately $3.1 million write-off for discontinued software-related projects as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company believes that adjusting for the impact of an effective tax rate differential, the recognition of grant proceeds, changes in fair value of fuel and foreign currency derivative contracts, fluctuations in exchange rates on debt instruments denominated in foreign currency, special items and the loss recognized on the extinguishment of debt helps investors better analyze the Company's operational performance and compare its results to other airlines in the periods presented.

The ultimate guide to visit Boise, Idaho

As the airline with the most flights to & from BOI, we know all the gems you have to see in Boise.

The city is a perfect blend of outdoor adventure, relaxation and nonstop fun. No matter where you go in Idaho, you’re bound to spot stunning mountain peaks, pristine lakes and enjoy fishing, white water rafting, horseback riding, backpacking or unwind with a nice glass of red wine riverside.

And, while some things have changed, the friendly, helpful and welcoming community of Boise has not. Join us on the journey to get there and know it’s safe with our Next-Level Care.

Here’s what you have to do in Boise:

Savor the flavors  

Idaho’s state fruit—Huckleberries—can be found in pastries, milkshakes, syrups and other delightful creations.   

Fry sauce, a combination of ketchup and mayonnaise, is also a must-try. Meat-eaters won’t want to miss out on Idaho’s deep-fried finger steak, which happens to pair perfectly with fry sauce (it’s not just for fries!).  

Taste all the flavors at Stella’s Ice Cream.

Seal the trip with a tour of the Capitol  

Did you know Idaho is the only state with a state seal designed by a woman? Painter and designer Emma Edwards Green’s submission, featuring Lady Justice, a miner and Idaho’s natural resources, was selected for the prestigious placement in 1891. Tour the state capitol building in Boise to learn more about the state seal and the state’s rich history.  

Hit the trails  

@teamforcina

Idaho’s attractive landscapes stretch nearly miles from the Nevada-Idaho state line to the Idaho Panhandle at the Canadian border. In between, you will find a wonderland of forests, crystal-clear mountain lakes, cascading rivers, rugged canyons and desert.   

Freddy’s Stack Rock Trail  

The 5,895-foot, pyramid-shaped Stack Rock is about 30 minutes north of Boise. The views are outstanding, especially looking over the furrowed topography stretching miles and miles to the west. In late March through early May, the canyon is at its best when temperatures are mild and wildflowers add color to the green hillsides.   

Ready, set, raft  

Boise is less than an hour from several rafting opportunities. The Main Payette River, just north of Boise, is an easy half-day trip (about three hours on the water) and perfect for first-timers and seasoned paddlers. All levels will enjoy the approachable Class I and II rapids along this fun, leisurely run between May and September.  Learn more about guided tours, rivers and rafting seasons at raftidaho.org.

Bike rail-to-trail   

Whether you want to rent a bicycle to tred downtown or venture out, Boise has all the stops. The Boise Greenbelt follows 25 miles of the Boise River, connecting Lucky Peak State Park, downtown Boise and many neighborhoods. The paved trail extends on both sides of the river, winding through numerous city parks and passing by restaurants, wineries, public art and points of interest.

Sip back, relax  

If you’re—of age—and want to savor Idaho’s wine country, start in Boise at Telaya Wine Co., which overlooks the Boise River, or check out the chic Coiled Wine Bar in downtown Boise for some fine reds & roses. Throughout the state, there are a plethora of wineries and tasting rooms to choose from. Pro tip: Wine flies free on Alaska; learn more. 

Croquetas & Chardonnay make a great pair, via the Basque Market, another great spot!

Meet the Makers: Learn from the Connoisseurs of Coffee at Big Island Coffee Roasters

When you shop with Hawaiʻi businesses, you’re doing more than supporting a local shop, restaurant or service provider. You are also investing in a community of hardworking entrepreneurs who are passionate about sharing all that makes Hawaiʻi special through their unique, island-made products. 

At Hawaiian Airlines, the state’s oldest and longest-serving carrier with roots as a small air tour operator, we are dedicated to engaging our guests in supporting fellow kamaʻāina companies — from our HawaiianMiles Marketplace to products we feature inflight. Our efforts to share Hawaiʻi products with the world have strengthened through a partnership with local business accelerator Mana Up and Hawaiian Airlines® Bank of Hawaii World Elite Mastercard®.

Mana Up, launched in 2018 to assist up-and-coming Hawaiʻi companies with growing and scaling their products, has backed 63 businesses across food, fashion, beauty, home and art. Last year, it helped generate over 325 jobs and $42.7 million in revenue for the state’s economy. As the exclusive airline partner of Mana Up, we are proud to jointly present Meet the Makers, a virtual event series kicking off this month on Hawaiian Airlines and Mana Up’s Facebook pages to celebrate nine Hawai‘i entrepreneurs and showcase their products.

MTM_-_IG_SQUARE_WEB_PAGE_d7941370-7265-408e-926e-29075c9eda00_800x 1

 

“With travel in flux over the last year, we wanted to launch a virtual series that offers an exclusive and behind-the-scenes look at our islands’ rising entrepreneurs and their locally made products,” said Brittany Heyd, cofounder of Mana Up. “Meet the Makers builds on years of collaboration with Hawaiian Airlines, and we are looking forward to highlighting the journeys of Hawai‘i’s most fascinating business owners.”

Over the next several months on our blog, we will feature the stories of the small businesses participating in the Meet the Makers series before each live event. The first episode debuts on July 28 with Big Island Coffee Roasters, where roasting coffee beans and making the perfect island blends is an art form. 

“We get comments from people who start drinking our coffee and then can't go back [to their usual blend]. Experiencing freshly milled and roasted Hawaiian coffee coverts them,” said Kelleigh Stewart, co-owner of Big Island Coffee Roasters. 

The Island of Hawaiʻi-based company took root in 2010 when its two owners, Brandon von Damitz and Stewart, stumbled upon an online advertisement listing a small coffee farm for sale in Puna on the island’s eastern side. The duo purchased the farm with no experience growing coffee and spent years learning to cultivate one of modern Hawai‘i’s most prized specialty crops.

Big Island Coffee Roasters still calls its original farm home, though today produces some of the finest regional varieties in the islands, including Kona, Kaʻū, Puna and Maui. Named "The Ultimate Artisan Coffee" by Coffee Review, their teams do a little of everything in-house, from hand-picking coffee cherries (which produce the beans), milling in small batches, and sorting natural defects from the coffees, to roasting to-order and date-stamping the bags.

“We roast to order, meaning we don't keep pre-roasted inventory in stock because we want to maintain a high level of quality,” Stewart said. “Roasting to order equates to a big checklist for the production team working in our roastery, including generating order lists, milling, grading, sorting, roasting and fulfilling orders. We're roasting all day, five to six days a week. On any of those days, the team might also be cupping new or rare Hawaiian coffees, working with farmers, or mastering a particular coffee blend before we debut it."

"While our customers enjoy the quality and variety of coffee they receive, they also love knowing what their purchases support: living wages, sustainable agriculture, and regular donations to wildlife rescue organizations (over $7,000 this year!),” she added.

Big Island Coffee Roasters is now considered one of Hawaiʻi’s masterful coffee brands, with products sold in stores across the state. The company attributes part of its success to joining Mana Up’s second cohort of entrepreneurs in 2018.

Travel Pono (responsibly) by supporting local businesses while visiting the Hawaiian islands. Big Island Coffee Roasters is sold and served at local cafes and stores throughout the state.

 

“It's all been very exciting, and I'm so proud of the Mana Up team. They are masterful connectors who have helped us scale distribution and build awareness for what we do,” Stewart said. “The benefits of having a community like Mana Up that we call on when we get stuck can't be understated. Neighbor Island companies like ours face complex challenges that you wouldn't expect, and they help us navigate difficult community dynamics toward finding the right, tailored solution.”

Big Island Coffee Roasters will host the first Meet the Makers event at its Puna headquarters, walking the audience through its farm and operations while offering a step-by-step demo on how to brew the perfect French press and pour-over coffee using its beans. Viewers are encouraged to purchase the company’s exclusive tasting set to immerse themselves further and follow along in demos.

Do’s & don’ts when returning to air travel

All of us at Alaska are here to bring you the best care in the air—and answer your burning travel questions. Check out these do’s & dont’s so you can travel well and plan those long-awaited trips:

Do: Wear a Mask.

We know wearing a mask for long period of time is not ideal for most people, but per our policy and federal requirements, all travelers (vaccinated or not) must wear a face mask during travel, including while in airports, boarding and deplaning and your entire flight. 

Don’t be the person who’s handed a yellow card for not complying with our mask policy. The card (our formal notice) is a warning to any guest who flagrantly refuses to wear a mask on board our aircraft. Upon review, we could ban guests who refuse to comply with our mask policy for a period of time.

Exceptions apply only to children under the age of two (in alignment with CDC age guidelines). Read more about the FAA’s mask requirement.

Do: Consider getting vaxxed.

Though it’s not a travel requirement, if you’re able to get vaccinated for COVID-19, we highly encourage you to do so. Before you fly with us, you will be asked to fill out a health agreement, which simply confirms you will wear a face covering on board/at the airport and that you have not shown any COVID symptoms in the past 72 hours and have not been in proximity to someone who has tested positive.

Don’t miss out on traveling! We have your safety covered every step of the way with our Next-Level Care—from booking and boarding to day-of travel and beyond. 

Do: Sit back & relax.

While it seems like sitting on a plane with other people could be risky, analysis of air travel shows viruses don’t spread easily on aircraft because of a number of things. One study concluded people wearing masks have a near zero (0.003%) chance of contracting COVID-19—even while seated next to someone.

You’re covered by:

  • High air exchange rates (fresh air every 2-3 min in the cabin)
  • HEPA filtration
  • Forward faced seating
  • High-back seats
  • Mask-wearing *this one is SUPER important*
  • Enhanced cleaning
  • Contactless features (pre order meals, mobile boarding pass)
  • Complimentary sanitizer

Do: Pre-order meals and enjoy snacks/drinks onboard.

More food and beverage options are now available on board! Snack on favorites like the Signature Fruit & Cheese Platter or try our new menu items via pre-order on most flights over two hours. For guests in First Class, delicious hot meals are back on coast-to-coast and Hawaiʻi flights, plus Boxed Water to quench any thirst.  

Don’t forget to pre-order your meal (if applicable) 20 hours before your flight!

Do: Get COVID-tested from trusted partners if necessary.

Some destinations, including Hawaii and Canada, have special travel requirements in place that require visitors/residents to have negative COVID-19 test results taken no more than 72 hours before travel, or they’ll need to comply with a 10-day self-quarantine. Be sure to schedule your test early, as appointments fill up in advance and use a trusted testing partner. 

Don’t wait until the last minute to get tested and be sure to use a trusted testing partner!

Do: Avoid travel if you’re not feeling healthy.

For your safety and for the safety of others around you, guests who have exhibited COVID-19 symptoms 72 hours before their flight or who have been in close proximity to someone who has tested positive are not allowed to fly with us. This is for the safety of all guests and employees.

Don’t fly if you’re not feeling well. 

Do: Pack your bag(s) & a little grace.

When traveling with us, you’re allowed to bring one carry-on bag plus one personal item, such as a purse, briefcase or laptop computer. At least one of the items should be stowed under the seat in front of you, and you’ll also need to be able to lift your own bag into the overhead bin. You can also check luggage at the airport.

PRO TIP: You’ll likely save time checking bags if you print your own bag tags at home.

While we pride ourselves on our 20-min bag guarantee for all our guests and checked bag perks for our Mileage Plan members, most airports are experiencing higher travel volumes right now. In the instance your bags don’t show within 20 minutes, please reach out to us at our baggage office within 2 hours of your flight’s arrival or speak to a nearby customer service agent at the airport.

Don’t exceed our bag size/weight limits. 

Do: Enjoy the fresh air.

Our cabin air is clean and safe. We have one of the newest fleets in the country which means our planes have the latest air filtration technology. Our planes are equipped with two hospital-grade HEPA filters that remove 99.95% of airborne particulates. Every 2-3 minutes there is a full exchange of cabin air with outside and HEPA-filtered air and 100% fresh air every 6 minutes. Learn more.

Don’t keep your air vents above your seat closed.

Do: Know high-touch surface areas have been cleaned.

We’ve took cleaning to the next level. Alaska’s enhanced aircraft cleaning procedures were developed/validated with infectious diseases experts at UW Medicine and exceed CDC cleaning guidelines. Between every flight, we’re using high-grade EPA disinfectants and electrostatic disinfectant sprayers to sanitize the most critical areas (overhead bins, armrests, tray tables, seatbelts, lavatories, etc).

At the airport, we’re working closely with airport services to ensure the highest level of cleanliness. We’ve instituted a cleaning program for the check-in lobby counters, kiosks and gate counters where the surfaces are wiped down with a disinfectant more frequently.

Don’t excessively wipe the leather seat with your own cleaning wipe, the leather dye color may come off. This doesn’t mean it’s dirty, it’s the active ingredient that is causing the color to come off on the wipe.

Do: Travel mindfully.

Wherever you’re planning to go, it’s important to protect yourself & others by wearing a mask, avoiding large crowds and washing your hands often. We encourage everyone to be kind and respectful to those helping get you from point A to point B. 

Don’t be unruly with other guests or our employees. Remember we’re all doing our best to make travel as safe, easy-going and accessible as possible. Please stick to travel guidelines and always practice being kind and considerate to the people around you. 

We’re all in this together and can’t wait to travel with you!
