Aloha for Adventure Seekers
Hawai’i is globally renowned for its stunning beaches, world-class surfing, and a myriad of outdoor activities. In line with this, Hawaiian Airlines is making it easier for travelers to bring their gear along to experience these iconic sports. “Hawai’i is synonymous with surfing and many ocean and land-based activities that draw visitors from around the world,” says Sandra Wang, product manager at Hawaiian Airlines. “We are excited to extend this new benefit to our visitors and kama ʻāina (local residents) so they can enjoy their favourite sports and hobbies while exploring Hawai’i and anywhere they travel in our network, including Asia, Oceania, and the US continent.”
Whether you’re traveling to Hawai’i to catch some waves, cycling through the lush islands, or venturing into new terrains for an adventure, Hawaiian Airlines is now making it easier to bring your equipment along. By accepting these items as part of standard baggage, the airline is enhancing the travel experience for sports enthusiasts, making it seamless to explore the islands and beyond with the gear you need.
More Perks with the Huaka’i Program
This policy change is part of a broader set of initiatives aimed at improving the travel experience for Hawaiian residents and visitors alike. Hawaiian Airlines has also launched the Huaka’i by Hawaiian program, a free membership offering exclusive perks and discounts for Hawai’i residents. Members of the program will receive benefits such as:
- A free checked bag on Neighbor Island flights.
- 10% or 20% off one Neighbor Island booking per quarter.
- Monthly network-wide deals.
This added benefit enhances the travel experience for locals and tourists alike, making it even more convenient to travel around Hawai’i with sports equipment, all while enjoying exclusive discounts.
More Benefits for Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard Holders
For those holding a Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard, there are even more perks. Customers who book tickets with this card will enjoy two free checked bags, and now, those bags can include sports equipment. This is an especially welcome bonus for travelers heading to Hawai’i or across Hawaiian Airlines’ expansive network, including destinations in Asia, Oceania, and the mainland United States.
Expanded Reach with Alaska Air Group
In another exciting development, Hawaiian Airlines is now part of the Alaska Air Group. As a result of this new partnership, passengers flying across the combined network of Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines can also bring sports equipment as standard checked baggage, extending this benefit to a broader range of travelers. This alliance brings a seamless travel experience across both carriers' networks, making it even easier for customers to bring their surfboards, bicycles, and other sports gear on their trips.
Convenient Travel for Sports Enthusiasts
By offering sports equipment as standard checked baggage, Hawaiian Airlines is responding to the growing demand for convenience and flexibility among travelers with specialized gear. Whether you’re heading to Hawai’i to experience its world-famous surf or planning an active vacation to other destinations within the airline's expansive network, bringing your sports equipment has never been easier.
With Hawaiian Airlines now making it simpler and more cost-effective to travel with your gear, adventure lovers can enjoy their favorite sports and hobbies without the added hassle of extra baggage fees or complicated logistics. This policy change solidifies Hawaiian Airlines’ commitment to enhancing the overall customer experience, especially for those with active lifestyles.
