Very happy to report that the skies are friendly once again and United Airlines has reinstated the Mai Tai on their Hawaii flights!

We were served them in First Class and our Flight Attendant told us they returned to service sometime in March of this year due to customer complaints about them being discontinued. Same as before...Trader's Mai Tai Mix, Light Rum and a Myers's Dark Rum float. Garnished with a pineapple spear and cherry. Very tasty and they did a great job of kicking off our visit and getting us in the proper mood. They were also helpful on the return flight by providing us with a "soft landing" back to reality, so-to-speak. :)

Don't know about Economy Class, but I assume they're available there as well, as they were in the past, but in a plastic cup instead of glassware. Headed back to the Big Island and Maui around the first of June, and I'll ask if they are serving them in Economy too, and report back here at that time.

Hipahipa!
