1. Introduction
Why HawaiianMiles is Unique
Hawaiian Airlines' HawaiianMiles loyalty program stands out for its simplicity, value, and the personalized touch of Hawaii’s iconic hospitality. HawaiianMiles is structured to reward travelers flying with Hawaiian Airlines and its partners with miles that can be redeemed for award flights, upgrades, vacation packages, and more. One of the program’s key distinctions is its ability to cater to both frequent inter-island flyers and long-haul travelers who fly between the U.S. mainland, Hawaii, Asia, and the South Pacific.
The September 2024 merger between Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines has further amplified the program’s reach. With the merger, HawaiianMiles members can now earn and redeem miles across the expanded networks of both airlines. This merger is especially significant for travelers interested in flying across the Pacific, as Hawaiian Airlines’ focus on Hawaii and its surrounding regions has been complemented by Alaska Airlines’ vast network within the U.S. and Oneworld partnerships.
