Customers First: Hawaiian Airlines Participates in ATA Customer Service Agreement Help/FAQ Sitemap Our Customer Service Commitment About Us Customer Service Commitment Investor Relations News Releases Corporate Info & Fact Sheet History Contact Us Privacy Policy Business Ethics and Conduct Help/Frequently Asked Questions Customer First A Service Commitment * * * Effective December 15, 1999 * * * Contract of Carriage | Responsiveness | Fare Information Reservation Changes or Cancellations | Prompt Ticket Refunds | Disclosure Accommodating Special Needs: Unaccompanied Children , Disabled Travelers , Service Animals Check-in and Boarding | Keeping Customers Informed | Ensuring Comfort and Safety Prompt Baggage Delivery | Baggage Liability Limit | Code Share Operations Additional Sources of Information | Seat Configuration Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. is committed to delivering superior service by making air travel an easy and positive experience for every customer. Our passengers' comfort is of utmost importance to us, second only to our concern for their safety. Since 1929, our company has built an unmatched reputation for safety and hospitality. In 1999, the Air Transport Association (ATA) and its member carriers developed CUSTOMER FIRST, an Airline Customer Service Commitment. Hawaiian Airlines' commitment to participate in this program and strive to further improve our service demonstrates our ongoing dedication and focus on improving air travel. All of our employees receive training so that the commitments contained in this Customer First service plan are implemented in a manner that reflects Hawaiian's commitment to serving our customers at levels set forth in this plan. Our Customer First training plan covers customer service skills, job-specific technical skills, service recovery skills and aligning service standards and expectations with our company vision, values and critical success factors. Implementing our pledge to provide service to our passengers beyond common carrier duties and consistent with our policy of putting the customer first, Hawaiian Airlines sets forth the following commitments to our customers: Contract of Carriage While this Customer First document outlines in general terms Hawaiian's commitment to certain customer service standards, specific policies and procedures are contained in our Contract of Carriage and tariffs. Our Contract of Carriage provides detailed company policies pertaining to passenger rights in domestic operations. Passenger rights on international flights are documented in our tariffs. Both the Contracts of Carriage and the tariffs are incorporated by reference on any Hawaiian Airlines travel document. Copies of our Contract of Carriage, tariffs and this document are available at our ticket offices, airport ticket counters and our web site ( www.hawaiianair.com/flightinfo/coc/ ) or by request through any licensed travel agency. Responsiveness Hawaiian Airlines is dedicated to keeping passengers informed, to responding to issues raised by our customers and to resolving those issues expediently. It is Hawaiian Airlines' goal to respond substantively to complaints within thirty (30) business days of receipt. Click here for information on how to contact a Hawaiian Airlines Customer Advocate. So that we may effectively meet these goals, we request that customers notify Hawaiian Airlines airport staff within four (4) hours after flight arrival of any baggage damage or loss claim arising from transportation on any of our flights. This notification is required to document the claim and to take immediate steps toward researching and resolving the claim. Our Contract of Carriage requires written notice of a claim within thirty (30) days of a flight if the claim does not involve personal injury or death. Claims for overcharges must be made within one (1) year of the ticket issue date. Fare Information Hawaiian Airlines' Reservations Department will offer, based on the information provided by the customer, the lowest available published fare for which the customer is eligible. Our agents will work with our customers to offer the lowest fare available for the itinerary planned (date of travel, class and flight, etc). Hawaiian Airlines recommends planning in advance. The lowest fares often require a purchase seven (7), fourteen (14), or twenty-one (21) days prior to departure, although at times low fares are offered which may require only a three (3) day advance purchase or no advance purchase. If customers plan in advance, there is a greater likelihood that low fare seats will be available on their preferred flights. The lowest fares are often nonrefundable and may require roundtrip travel and/or travel which requires return to the city of origin. Some low fares are offered based on the day of the week or the time of day or may have other restrictions. Reservation Changes or Cancellations Customers will be allowed to hold Transpacific reservations without purchase for forty-eight (48) hours guaranteed at the price quoted by Hawaiian Airlines over the telephone and will be allowed to cancel unticketed reservations for any reason, including finding lower fares through other outlets or carriers. Hawaiian Airlines reserves the right to cancel reservations that remain unticketed after forty-eight (48) hours. Hawaiian Airlines reserves the right to cancel any itinerary remaining on a trip for which a flight coupon is not used in the sequence ticketed, unless the passenger notifies Hawaiian Airlines of the change of plans before the scheduled departure of the flight segment not used. In those cases where we are informed in advance, and the ticket allows such cancellation, Hawaiian Airlines will make the necessary changes subject to any applicable fees. Prompt Ticket Refunds Hawaiian Airlines will issue refunds for eligible tickets within seven (7) business days for all credit card sales and within twenty (20) business days for cash sales, upon receipt of request and required documentation. Partially used or lost tickets may be refundable, subject to terms of our Contract of Carriage. Disclosure Hawaiian Airlines will disclose to the passenger the specific routing, any change in aircraft type, or operator on a code-shared flight bearing the same Hawaiian Airlines flight number for which flight information is requested or a reservation is made. To the extent Hawaiian Airlines has the information available at the time of the customer inquiry, we will provide the same information for any other air carrier on which Hawaiian Airlines makes a reservation or issues tickets. The rules and regulations relating to membership in Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club and HawaiianMiles frequent flyer program are provided to all members and are available at all times upon request. Annual redemption reports are available upon request to all HawaiianMiles members who have accumulated benefits within the preceding two (2) years. Upon request, Hawaiian Airlines will provide information on our aircraft-seating configuration, including seat size and pitch, for any flight. Accommodating Special Needs Hawaiian Airlines is dedicated to making our services available to everyone, subject to applicable laws and governmental restrictions. Unaccompanied Children Between the Continental USA and Hawaii : Children under 15 years of age who are not accompanied on the same flight and in the same compartment by a passenger 18 years of age or over are accepted for transportation. For travel wholly within the State of Hawaii : Children under 12 years of age who are not accompanied on the same flight and in the same compartment by a passenger 16 years of age or over are accepted for transportation for travel. Unaccompanied Children must be brought to the airport by a parent, guardian or responsible adult who shall stay with the child until enplanement and furnish evidence to Hawaiian Airlines that the child will be met by a parent, guardian or designated adult at the destination upon deplanement. Hawaiian Airlines will escort the unaccompanied child from the boarding of the aircraft until the child is met at the destination. Hawaiian Airlines requires identification and signature of the person meeting the unaccompanied child. Service charges and certain restrictions may apply. Disabled Travelers Hawaiian Airlines recommends that disabled passengers traveling with medical devices or requiring special services (such as oxygen during flight or the packaging of a wheelchair battery for shipment as checked baggage) make their reservations as early as possible and no later than forty-eight (48) hours in advance of their flight. In order to allow time for screening and pre-boarding processing, we recommend check-in at the airport no later than one (1) hour in advance of flight departure. Wheelchairs and other mobility devices accompanying disabled travelers will be accepted as cabin or checked baggage, free of charge. Check-in and surrender of devices that have special assembly or hazardous materials considerations must be accomplished at least one (1) hour before departure so that such devices may be properly disassembled and stowed. Hawaiian Airlines complies fully with the Air Carrier Access Act of 1986, as amended, and Part 382 of the Department of Transportation Air Carrier Regulations. To the extent allowed by Part 382, Hawaiian Airlines customer service and contract personnel are available to assist customers with disabilities in boarding, deplaning and connecting between flights. However, we do not provide full monitoring while waiting at the gate. If the customer requires this assistance, we recommend the customer arrange for a traveling companion. Likewise, if Hawaiian Airlines believes a passenger needs an attendant in order to ensure his or her safety, such as in the case of passengers traveling on stretchers or in incubators, those with disabilities that prevent understanding of or acting upon safety instructions, or those with an inability to assist in his or her own evacuation of the airplane, we will request that the customer arrange for a traveling attendant. All passengers may select any available seat in their ticketed class of service that has not been assigned to another passenger, subject to restrictions under Federal Aviation Administration safety requirements. Transfer service on and off the aircraft is provided using special chairs designed for aircraft aisles. Due to limited time between connecting flights we recommend use of wheelchairs provided by Hawaiian Airlines or our contract personnel for transportation between aircraft. However, if requested, the passenger's own wheelchair will be retrieved from the aircraft baggage compartment for use during layover. Upon arrival at the final destination, the passenger's own wheelchair will be made available at either the gate area upon deplanement or the baggage claim area, as requested by the passenger. Service Animals Service animals such as canines are permitted without charge with proper documentation or credible verbal assurances that they are rescue/bomb-sniffing/law enforcement animals or are providing assistance to a disabled person with mobility, visual or hearing disabilities. A service animal must occupy the floor space where the passenger sits and cannot obstruct an aisle or areas that must remain clear for emergency evacuation. Quarantine laws may apply to certain destinations. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure compliance with all entry regulations. Check-in and Boarding It is Hawaiian Airlines' policy to treat all customers with fairness and consistency. Upon any customer's request, Hawaiian Airlines employees will disclose our specific policies for handling oversold flights and will disclose whether or not the customer's flight is oversold, provided that information is available to the employee. Whenever it becomes necessary to deny boarding to a customer due to oversales, we will make every effort to remedy the customer's inconvenience, including but not limited to soliciting other passengers to release their seats in exchange for suitable compensation. Hawaiian Airlines requires that all passengers check-in no later than thirty (30) minutes prior to scheduled departure and be at the gate for boarding no later than fifteen (15) minutes prior to scheduled departure. If passenger is not at the gate for boarding fifteen (15) minutes prior to the scheduled departure time, Hawaiian Airlines reserves the right to re-assign the seat to another passenger or to cancel the passenger's reservations and assign available seats to other customers. Keeping Customers Informed We will notify our passengers in either the airport or on board our aircraft of any flight delays, cancellations or diversions as soon as any decision to make such a change is confirmed. In addition, Hawaiian Airlines employees will update passengers at minimum every twenty (20) minutes on the status of their flight, giving the estimated time of departure or the time when further information will be available. Hawaiian Airlines will ensure that employees responsible for providing information to customers have access to the latest information during irregular operations. If a flight is canceled we will use our best efforts to re-route our passengers on the next available flight, subject to the conditions stated in our Contract of Carriage and to the existence of participating interline ticketing agreements. For passengers delayed more than four (4) hours between the hours from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. local time, Hawaiian Airlines will provide our passengers lodging, meals, local transportation and a phone call, subject to restrictions set forth in our Contract of Carriage. Ensuring Comfort and Safety Hawaiian Airlines will make every effort to provide food, water, restroom facilities and access to medical treatment for passengers on board an aircraft that is on the ground for an extended period of time with no access to a gate, consistent with passenger and employee safety. Hawaiian Airlines has prepared contingency plans addressing such circumstances for each of its destinations. To the greatest extent possible, consistent with our contingency plans, Hawaiian Airlines will work with other carriers and airport authorities to share facilities and make gates available. Prompt Baggage Delivery It is our goal to locate and return lost baggage to the owner within twenty-four (24) hours of the owner's arrival at their final destination. Hawaiian Airlines will make every effort to ascertain ownership and locate the owner for any unclaimed checked baggage. We recommend all passengers attach their name, address and telephone number on the outside and inside of each piece of checked baggage. For protection of all passengers, baggage is subject to inspection. Medication, cameras, jewelry, travel documents, keys, and other important personal items should be in the passenger's possession and should not be placed in checked baggage. Baggage Liability Limit Hawaiian Airlines, as a member of the Air Transport Association, supported the increase in the domestic baggage liability limits for lost or damaged luggage from US $1,250 per customer to US $2,800 per customer, the amount now set by regulation issued by the United State Department of Transportation. For international flights, liability for the loss, delay or damage of checked baggage shall be US $9.07 per pound, up to a maximum of US $640 per bag. Unchecked baggage liability shall be a maximum of US $400 per piece. Code Share Operations Hawaiian Airlines works closely with its partners to coordinate customer service policies and procedures. Hawaiian Airlines has reviewed the customer service plans of each of its code share partners to ensure comparable standard service levels and commitments. Hawaiian Airlines will assist customers in contacting these partners to resolve issues that arise as a result of travel on Hawaiian Airlines through code-sharing arrangements. For more detailed information on Hawaiian Airlines customer service policies and procedures, ask any employee for a copy of our Contract of Carriage or access the document online at www.hawaiianair.com/flightinfo/coc .

Waikiki beach. The EASIEST

Waikiki, Hawaii, Seashells on Waikiki Beach WAIKIKI SEASHELLS © 1997 Rico Leffanta Seashells can be found in abundance on most tropical islands, but Hawaiian seashells are scarce in comparison. Waikiki sees thousands of snorkelers and scuba divers every day, each one looking for that souvenir seashell, resulting in thousands of people going back to their hotel room every night without have seen one single seashell. Of course, there are laws to protect endangered species, but every tourist seems to think, "What harm can come from my taking home one little seashell?" The simple answer is one little seashell can hold 1,000 eggs to perpetuate the species so, when someone takes that living shell, they are taking 1,000 other shells with it! At this rate, it doesn't take very many tourists very long before "common" seashells such as the Knobby Triton (pupu'olekiwi - Cymatium muricinum Roeding ) above are classified "uncommon", then "rare", "Endangered" and most finally, "extinct". Even when the shell is empty, hermit crabs should have first choice on vacated shells! Native Hawaiians (and local parents) need a Triton's Trumpet (Pu or Ole - Charonia tritonis Linaeus ) to herald their ceremonies (or call the kids home for supper - the ole sound can be heard two miles away!), cowries to lure the octopus home for dinner, and Hawaiians use many other shells for fish hooks, musical instruments and jewellery - especially for leis! The tiny turbinid and columbellid shell leis from "The Forbidden Island" (Ni'ihau) currently sell for hundreds of dollars. Shells like the Hawaiian Limpet (made famous by Frank De Lima's song, "Please don't eat me") ("Opihi- Patella sandwichensis Pease ) are polished and sold as coin purses in Waikiki's International Marketplace. You can see the difference between its natural ridged surface in the photo and after it has been polished. This one was polished by Mother Nature. Almost every day, people are surprised when I walk behind them and find a seashell they didn't see. It isn't that my eyesight is any better than their eyesight, it is simply that I know what I am looking for, and they do not. These photos show what to look for on Waikiki beach. The EASIEST way to find a seashell in Waikiki is to walk in the surf when the tide is coming in. Empty shells - even drilled empty shells - tend to collect and hold air, which gives them a lift on the current, which eventually brings them to shore. All of the shells in these photos were obtained by walking along Waikiki beach and watching them roll in with the tide. When the waves are high and the current strong, shells can roll in from deep and far, carrying shells one seldom sees in Waikiki, such as the rare and exceptionally beautiful Fragile Violet Snail (Pupupani - lanthina fragilis Lamarck ) (not pictured). My personal favourite is the Swollen Bubble ( Hydatina amplustre Linnaeus ). Its contrasting pink and black shell makes quite elegant earrings for blue-eyed blondes. I saw one of these shells, smaller than the one shown, on sale at Ala Moana in October, 2000, for $49.95!!! Only a few years ago, the retail price for a Swollen Bubble was only $5.95! Adam's Bubble ( Bulla adamsi Menke ) is quite common in Waikiki; in fact, the Hawaiian Hilton Lagoon has quite a population in excess of 5 cms. The Paper Bubble ( Hydatina physis Linnaeus ) is quite uncommon, and I have only found one Lined Bubble ( Bullina lineata Gray ) on Waikiki Beach, and that was five years ago. The first Polished Nerite (Kupe'e - Nerita polita Linnaeus ) taken to Britain was sold at auction in 1806 for nine guineas; yet most tourist never notice the shell unless they see its orifice. The most frequently seen shells on Waikiki Beach are of the Cowrie family, especially the Humpback (used by Hawaiians as an octopus lure) Snakehead, Money, and although classified "Uncommon", the Granulated Cowrie. Even broken Cowrie shells are used as jewellery because the Cowrie orifice is the only seashell that smiles at you (or frowns - when you see it upside down)! Cone shells are disappearing at an alarming rate. There are only three still commonly found on Waikiki Beach, the Hebrew Cone ( Conus ebraeus Linnaeus ), the Spiteful Cone ( Conus lividus Hwass ) and the Golden Yellow Cone ( Conus flavidus Lamarck ). Only a few years ago, the deadly Conus Textile Linnaeus (not shown) was fairly common, but its painful/deadly sting apparently did not protect it from determined collectors. Augers, Miters, Murexes and Spindles are seldom seen anymore. The popular Chinese Horn ( Cerithium sinense Gmelin ) occasionally rolls up as an hermit crab's mobile home, and spotted Strombs ( Stombus maculatus Sowerby ) in a variety of colours still hit the beach, as do the Knobbed and Mulberry Drupes. Two years ago, the Ribbed Turbin ( Purpura aperta Blainville ) was the most common seashell found at the Hawaiian Hilton beach front; today it is rarely seen, but Arca family shells can still be found on the beach fronting Harbour Road parking lot during the winter months. The sun-bleached Spiny Helmet ( Casmaria erinaceus Linnaeus ) in the photo is rarely seen in Waikiki, yet was passed over by countless tourist walking over the coral rubble in front of the Hale Koa Hotel. I was surprised to find it in one piece, and because the shell was not drilled by a predator, it is a perfect home for an Hermit Crab, which really doesn't carry about exterior decoration providing the roof doesn't leak! This leaves the most collectible shell found at Waikiki (but seldom by tourist): the Tritons. Tritons, including Triton's Trumpet, are usually found at 2 1/2-7 cms., but calcium deposits usually whitewash their colours so, when the shells dry out under the sun, they become as white as the coral rubble which surrounds them, thus escaping easy detection. For reasons unbeknownst to me, Tritons in Waikiki deviate from normal colours, so it is well worth anyone's while to pick up a Triton shell and dip it in the ocean to ascertain its true colours! n.b. the background leaf in the photos is from the Breadfruit tree, (still Cooking after all these years) and crab mummies are quite collectible! What do I do with the shells I find? This morning (10.IX.00) was extraordinary because I found this flea cone (Conus Pulicarius Hwass) intact; a "common" shell, but uncommonly found unoccupied intact! The Triton is an exquisite variation of the Hairy Triton v (Cymatium Pileare Linnaeus) . The 2 cm. cowrie has a lovely honey glow to it, but I have been unable to identify it from my books.So, interesting shells are given to the Waikiki Aquarium to enable docents to "talk story" with visitors, and "show and tell". Intact shells suitable for hermit crab homes are taken back out to the reef where crabs needing larger homes can find them. The remaining shells are either distributed along Waikiki Beach where children (" keiki ") can find them (but I usually carry a few with me for children who can't find a shell). This is by far the most rewarding experience! This morning I saw a little girl looking for shells so I dropped a damaged humback cowrie shell where she could find it. As soon as she spotted it, she shouted to her sisters, "Come and see what I found!" The elder sister came over, took one look and said, "That's just an old rock!" The sister in the middle apparently didn't care whether it was a rock or a shell because she said, "Can I have it, please?" The middle sister then picked it up, confirmed it was indeed a shell, and off they went to show their treasure to mom! What a pity more children can't share that experience! Moana Valentine This is the especially rare and beautiful Bullina lineata Gray "Lined Bubble" delivered up in perfect condition by a stormy sea on February 14, 2001. This is only the second "Lined Bubble" I've seen on the beach, not only because it is "rare", but also because the shell usually retails between $200-$300, although it is so small (less than one-half inch) that 99.9% of the population can walk by it (or on it) without seeing it. Moral: never judge the value of a shell/person/thing by its size! YES! It CAN happen on Waikiki Beach! On July 23, 2002, Gunnel Grubb, Rektor of Scandanavia's oldest operating school (Katedralskolan, established in 1085) was diving along the reef fronting the Hilton Hawaiian Village Hotel (Duke Kahanamoku Beach) and discovered this beautiful (and vacant !) black-lipped conch shell! You could be next!
