My wife and I are taking our first trip to Hawaii in October. We will be flying from dfw to hnl on American, but catching the final flight into hilo on Hawaiian. We hardly ever fly and have never switched airlines before. How do I need to proceed with our checked bags? Do I need to go to luggage claim, pick them up, check them in with Hawaiian, then enter back through tsa and wait to board the Hawaiian flight? Thank you.

I just booked a trip from Cali to HA with capital one miles. Then realized my flight back from Honolulu to San Diego is on an Alaskan flight. I’ve always flown Hawaiian and loved every trip. I am wondering if there are any differences and what they are? I tried looking for similar questions but they all have to do with first class…. And I am an economy person all the way. If anyone has any feedback or tips I’d appreciate it. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

My family of 4 are flying first class OGG-SJC in A321 and have some questions that I'm hoping some can answer.

Can you compare the rows in first class? Like row 1 is bulk head but is the experience different and having the space in front good? Row 4 is against a back wall, so does the seat recline less? Row 2 and row 3 are in the middle... any thoughts?

How is the recline on these seats?

This is the first time I’ve ever used miles with any airline. Is there a trick to this? I can see and book flights from DTW to KOA with a price but when I try to use miles it says none available. Same problem if I try to go from Austin Tx. I just want to use my miles or even some of my miles to offset the cost. Any help is greatly appreciated

Hi i was going to fly from cali to oahu , as im only 19 i was going to bring maybe 2 smirnoff bottles to hawaii with me , i planned to put it in my checked bag, Fake Id is an option for me and my friends but it seems as if thats a bigger deal and not worth a felony. I was just wondering if they did find it what are consequences?? would it just be confiscated

I have an upcoming flight from HNL->RAR that I booked in economy using Hawaiian miles. As the date approaches, I heard about the bidup program and tried to enter my record locator in the website but it said my itinerary was not eligible. I read all of the rules and eligibility requirements and I am fairly certain that I fall within the criteria and there are 8 first class seats available. For some airlines, mileage tickets are excluded from the upgrade process but the bidup rules make no mention of mileage tickets being excluded. I then called reservations who told me to call WSC who told me to submit a ticket online whose respondent told me to call WSC. The response has largely been that I should be eligible but that bidup is third party and the employees have no idea why it isn’t working for me and have no power the change it. Has anyone had any prior experience or know of any fix? Or do I need to cancel my ticket and just fork over the extra miles to be in first?

1st scenario: Our flight from HNL to LAS was averted to LAX due to a medical emergency (unconfirmed death). The flight was delayed and they suggested we drive to LAS and they would reimburse us. How do I do that?

2nd scenario: We were about to take off from SEA to HNL and had to return to the gate due to a error message. We waited on the plane for a hour for them to fix it but they removed us from the plane. After 2 hours, they gave us each $15.00 meal vouchers. Finally after 3 hours they started to give us the option to rebook on another flight. We got on the Delta flight 8 hours after the original one. Problem is that we were told that if Hawaiian rebooked us, our luggage would be delivered to that flight. Anyway, we landed and no luggage at baggage claim. We called and had to walk from Terminal 2 to terminal 1 to get our luggage. Again, no clear communication. Can we be compensated from this trip?

Has anyone shipped a pet via Hawaiian Air Cargo? I am looking to ship a 14-week-old puppy at the end of January 2025. I am wondering about any experiences using this service? Thank you so much.

Is anyone else seeing this error while trying to create a Hawaiian Miles account? I just booked a flight yesterday, and I'm trying to create an account to get my miles.

What sales has HA had in the past Black Fridays? Mahalo

Request to allow missing teen post who may be attempting to fly to Hawaii..

Hey there. Have 3 legs coming up on HA's 712. What specific row is right at the inlet of the engines? We want to still be able to see out the window but also see into the engine inlet.

Thank you! And please don't tell my wife.

What do you expect to happen in the end for the current Barclays card?

• They get closed automatically
• They stay open, but we get no rewards
• They stay open, we get rewards matching the Alaska plan
• They stay open, we get rewards on the current plan (in particular, 2X for groceries and dining)
• Other?

Does Hawaiian / Barclays run a referral program for their co-branded credit cards? I found some threads on some previous referral programs that seem to have expired. Is there anything currently available to earn points for referrals to new cardholders?

Anyone have a master list of these? I'm curious who the 61/F5 people all the time bumping be on zed. Lol

Hi! I am trying to purchase Hawaiian points using a credit card, but I keep getting this error.
I have tried many times but it still hasn't worked. Has anyone been able to solve this?

(PS. It's not a problem with my card; I was able to purchase other things even after I got this error)

Error: There was a problem with your authentication information, please try again.

From their website:

Main Cabin Basic, seat assignments are not available when booking the flight. Your seat will be assigned when you check in for your flight (as early as 24 hours prior to departure), or at the gate.

THEY ONLY ASSIGN SEATS AT THE AIRPORT - NEVER ONLINE

Tried to transfer from Hawaiian to Alaskan, but got an error saying "You don't have permission to access "http://myaccount.hawaiianairlines.com/?" on this server." Called Hawaiian and they said they are having an issue with the servers, and to try again in about 30 mins. Is anyone else encountering this issue?

Keep getting errors searching flights. Just me?

About a month ago, I signed up for the Barclay's Hawaiian Airlines Mastercard with a 70K mile sign-up bonus if I spend $2000 in the first 90 days. The Barclay's app had been tracking my purchases toward $2000 up until last week. But over the past week, it has been frozen at a little over $1500 while I continue to spend.

Has anyone seen this behavior?

I called Barclay's customer service last night, and they assured me the tracker will catch up at the end of my current billing period. But they could offer no explanation for why it initially tracked my purchases and now does not.

I'm somewhat concerned that this behavior is somehow related to the merger. But if others have seen the same thing and been fine, that would go a long way toward alleviating my concern.

I was wondering if anyone knew if Hawaiian Airlines at the Ticket Agent Desk has the option to tap to pay instead of swipe to pay? Or is the system only limited to swipe to pay?

Which credit card would give the most points when purchasing Hawaiian airline miles? Do you get 3X on point purchases with Hawaiian card?

Did anyone get through the flight attendant panel interview and is making it to the second group interview

Is there a way I can book a connected flight from Hong Kong to OGG? There is a flight from Tokyo to HNL I want to take, but I'm struggling to figure out how to get from Hong Kong to Toyko without having to book a seperate ticket. I will be checking a bag so I want it all connected.

My goal is to fly economy from Hong Kong to Tokyo, and then business from Tokyo to HNL. thanks!

This was my first time buying tickets and I purchased 4 seats each round trip that I thought were extra comfort. The only reason they had a cost was because they are closer to the front. But I'm so stupid and didn't pay attention to it. Now I'm cursing myself for paying an extra 800 bucks just for seats near the front. I want to get a refund and select the seats near the back which are no cost. But it's non refundable. Is there anyway around this? Has anyone been in this situation? I just want to punch myself for this stupid mistake.

I always pay to select my seats in advance. When u go to check in the only thing that is really left are the premium economy seats. How do those get allocated if no one pays for them. Do they end up going to the folks that don’t pay for a seat assignment bc that’s what’s left?
