Hawaiian Airlines expedites the boarding procedure by utilizing a zone-based boarding system. In Hawaiian airlines boarding zones, First Class and Premium members are located in Zone 1 one of several zones into which passengers are divided. Business Class frequent flyers and general economy passengers are accommodated in subsequent zones. In order to maximize convenience, families with small children and those in need of assistance are usually requested to board early. An easier transfer onto the airplane is made possible by this well-organized approach which lessens congestion at the gate. Hawaiian Airlines strives to improve the entire travel experience by boarding passengers in a timely way allowing everyone to get settled in before takeoff.
