How to Book Hawaiian Airlines Flights with Partner Programs
March 25, 2021
Few things sound more appealing than a relaxing vacation after how high the anxiety levels have been during the past year. For those looking for a domestic trip, Hawaii might be a logical choice even though safety measures are still in place to travel there.
To avoid a 10-day quarantine upon arrival, visitors need to present a proper negative COVID-19 test. With that, you can head straight to the beach on most islands.
While planning a trip, though, you’ll notice that all major domestic carriers fly from the mainland to Hawaii.
Anatomy of an Award: My First (Hopefully) Post-COVID Trip to Hawaii
January 29, 2021
My last trip was February 2020. My wife and I returned home from an awesome week-long stay at Scrub Island Resort in the British Virgin Islands not knowing that it would be our last trip for a long time. We had tons of trips all over the world planned for 2020 that we would slowly begin cancelling one-by-one: 3 weeks in South Africa, a trip to Chile and Argentina, a few trips to Europe, and tons of domestic trips as well.
Like many of you, we’ve been pretty cooped up for the last year or so.
Fare War: $29 Inter-Island Hawaii Flights
April 30, 2019
I'll keep this brief as to be timely, as these fares won't last.
Southwest just dropped their price on some of their brand new inter-island flight, between Honolulu and Maui, to $29, and Hawaii Airlines is playing ball. Right now you can find flights on both airlines between Honolulu and Maui, as well as Honolulu and Kona (on Hawaiian) for the super low price of $29.
I'm seeing the Southwest flights pricing at just 1,379 Rapid Rewards (and $5.60 in tax).
See Four Hawaiian Islands for 6,000 Miles
February 14, 2017
While writing yesterday's post about United now allowing free Hawaii flights on awards, I had a separate idea about United miles and Hawaii flights that I didn't want anyone to miss:
You can see four Hawaiian islands on a single award that costs 6,000 United miles and $5.60.
United charges 6,000 for intra-Hawaii flights on Hawaiian Airlines or Island Air.
This is Hawaiian's route map.

Ten Minute Three Day Trip with Avios and Hawaiian Miles
June 11, 2014
Anatomy of an Award posts highlight real awards I’ve booked to show you the techniques needed to book your dream trip.
I recently made a last-second decision to head to Las Vegas and Phoenix for three days for a mix of work and pleasure.
I planned and booked the trip in 10 minutes with miles and points, saving myself $1,500 in the process and getting to fly First Class on one long flight.

Combining Hawaii and Australia onto One Award is Easy with Great Award Space in 2014

for all of 2014
to Australia
with the opportunity to stop in Hawaii for a few days in either direction.
If you have 75,000 American Airlines miles and about $100, you can fly a roundtrip award from the United States to Australia on almost any day you want this year.

Anatomy of an Award: 12,500 Miles to Asia in First Class
February 10, 2013
I recently booked a fascinating award that shows just how simply you can turn a good itinerary into a great itinerary using the the concept I laid out in a post titled 7,500 Miles to Europe and Negative 7,500 Miles to South America.
The basic premise is the inverse of a free oneway. If you are booking an award within the US on American Airlines, consider adding on an international leg to the domestic leg for very little extra.
My client Mark came to me with 105,000 American Airlines miles and 103,000 Ultimate Rewards.

Hawaiian Airlines Exciting New Route to Taipei, Taiwan
December 17, 2012
According to this thread on FlyerTalk, Hawaiian Airlines will be adding an interesting new route to their network in July of 2013. Hawaiian will add nonstop service between Honolulu and Taipei, Taiwan three times weekly. They will be flying this route with their 294 seat A330-200 aircraft.
Scott actually just wrote a mini review of Hawaiian's A330 product in economy. You can read it in this post, 20k Points Roundtrip to Hawaii, 45k Roundtrip to Asia, 55k Roundtrip to Australia. The economy seat looks really solid with personal TVs and decent food offerings.
New York to Honolulu Direct for $435
November 29, 2012
Update from Scott: I'm finding $382 all in roundtrip now too:
According to this thread in the ever popular Mileage Run forum on FlyerTalk, Hawaiian Airlines is running a fare sale from New York to Honolulu. Hawaiian Airlines operates a direct flight from JFK to Honolulu, and we are seeing fares for as low as $435 for this direct flight.
There appears to be only one stretch of days in early December and great availability in January and February.
What's the best way to hunt for eligible dates?
I always use the ITA Software Matrix.

Hawaiian’s Virgin Atlantic Chart Devalued
November 21, 2012
Four months ago I broke the news that you could redeem Hawaiian Miles for Virgin Atlantic Upper Class without fuel surcharges, thus saving thousands of dollars. See Redeem for Virgin Atlantic Upper Class without Surcharges.
You still can, but the party may be over. The old chart was a solid value and simple to figure out.
The new chart, hat tip to Gary, is much worse.
I don't have any information on what North America East and West are.
