Both Business Class and First Class on Hawaiian Airlines are essentially the same. In other words, the airline lists its both cabin classes in the broader “Premium Cabin” category, but there is an important difference of seating and flying route between the two:

• First class offers lie-flat seats, which are found on the A330 planes which fly the longer domestic and international routes. 
• Business class features large recliner seats, reserved for the A321Neo planes that fly only to international destinations to / from Hawaii.
