Earlier this year, we had to travel to Hawaii unexpectedly due to a family emergency. The situation was stressful, but the Hawaiian Airlines Oakland Office provided the calm and support we needed. I called in a rush, trying to secure last-minute flights for myself, my spouse, and our two teenage children. The agent was kind and professional, immediately assisting with seat availability, fare classes, and helping us get on the soonest flight out. She even suggested applying a flexible fare option so we wouldn’t be penalized if we needed to change our return date, which turned out to be very helpful. Because we were traveling during an emotional time, the compassion shown by the Oakland Office staff really meant a lot to us. They didn’t treat us like just another booking, they treated us like people. They even reached out via email after our return to ask if we needed help with anything else, which was an unexpected and touching gesture. Our experience with the Oakland Office reminded us how important real customer service is, especially in tough moments. Thanks to their support, we could focus on being with family instead of worrying about travel logistics. We’ll always be grateful for their empathy and quick action.
