American Airlines Miles No Longer Book Hawaiian Airlines’ Mainland to Hawaii Flights from September 1

LAN Award Flights to Easter Island and Tahiti
July 21, 2015
LAN Airlines, the flag carrier of Chile, has daily flights from Santiago to Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui and Isla de Pascua. That route makes sense to connect Easter Island to its capital city.
What makes far less sense is the weekly flight from Easter Island another five hours west to Tahiti. There's also usually a summer seasonal (our winter) route from Lima to Easter Island, though it hasn't been announced for 2015/2016.
LAN is a member of a oneworld, so you can use American Airlines miles or British Airways Avios to book the flights.

Trip Report: Hawaiian Airlines First Class from Honolulu to Las Vegas
June 14, 2014
Saturday night I had the pleasure of flying Hawaiian Airlines First Class from Honolulu to Las Vegas.
I had an internet outage at home that day, so I headed to the airport about four hours early to try to get some work done on more reliable wifi.
Hawaiian Airlines has the largest check in area of any airline at Honolulu International Airport.

Get the Hawaiian Miles Card and Take Your Friends Orphan Miles through Share Miles

I know a lot of people with around 5,000 Hawaiian miles. Until recently, I was one of them. That's about what you'd have if you've flown one paid roundtrip on Hawaiian Airlines.
For a lot of people, those miles are headed to an unused expiration.
But if you have The Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite MasterCard®, you can receive miles from other Hawaiian Miles accounts for free through the online share miles promotion.
The Cheapest Way to Get to Hawaii is Not the Best Way
April 22, 2014
A teenager hopped a fence at San Jose Airport (SJC), climbed into the wheel well of a Hawaiian Airlines 767 and survived almost six hours at heights up to 38,000 feet on his way to Maui (OGG).
He was apparently unharmed and released by the FBI after they realized he wasn't a security threat.
