Not a US citizen or green card holder.

Choose this option. That looks like ANA Airlines site. Booked my fiances flight with them. Very low fares one way. Where you able to use your credit card to purchase? I paid $580 MNL to SFO. I did have to get same flight from cheapoair though because the ANA site wouldnt accept my credit card as it was third party

I was all set to book on Hawaiin Airlines until I found out you have to pay $15 for the in seat entertainment and even rent the head phones. I was told you need to pay for it with a credit card which my fiance doesnt have. I figured that it would be boring without it so I booked with ANA Air.

On Hawaiian, the last two round trip flights, they supplied adaptors for your mp3 earbuds/headphones to fit into the passenger seat dual-input so I could watch the movies/listen to music. In the packet they also provided sleep blinders! It's a 10+ hour flight from MNL to HNL. What route is ANA taking? MNL to Tokyo then SFO?

when we flew Hawaiian it was very nice..

FREE:

- earphone/headphone adaptor

- mini pillow, blanket, eye cover and ear plug

- unlimited drinks

- hot towel upon boarding and before breakfast

but for me i felt more sleeping than needing a headphone/earphone cuz traveling by night.

That's really cheap, but it is not the case for LAX. :(

The cheap flights for $579.70 that I found with a quick search on ANA Airlines site from Manila to LAX is on tuesdays. I got the fare Nov 20, Nov 27, Dec 4. I didnt search that hard so may be other days. Anyways when you search it will say fare is $618.50 but click select and continue and it will eventually recalculate fare and it will be $579.70. It is the flight NH950 and NH006. I found it on them dates so there are probably other dates available its just a pain to search one day at a time.

:wow: Talking about rip-offs. Shouldn't these be all inclusive with the fare? I've used Korean, Cathay Pacific and PAL and I didn't have to pay a dime for such convenience items.

It should be included but I have nothing against Hawaiin Airlines. It was more of the fact I didnt want my fiance feeling uncomfortable without a credit card and not knowing what she would be charged for or not. I thought it could make her feel uncomfortable. It is her first international flight . It made her uncomfortable also that she would have to gather her luggage and do POE in Hawaii, then recheck luggage in 1 hour and 55 minute layover. With these factors we decided to go with a different flight. If we were flying together I would have gone with Hawaiin Airlines for sure.The travel agent told me POE through Hawaii is great and that there are many filipinos in the Airport to help out. I wasnt recommending not using Hawaiin Air, I was just making people aware . We plan to go back next year and we plan to try Hawaiin Airlines.
