Hawaiian Airlines is the oldest US carrier in continuous operation (founded 1929), now a subsidiary of Alaska Air Group following the September 2024 acquisition. The HawaiianMiles loyalty program was fully absorbed into Atmos Rewards on October 1, 2025 at a 1:1 conversion (verified at alaskaair.com/news). HawaiianMiles account numbers were deactivated; balances now sit in Atmos Rewards.
For current loyalty program details (earning, redemption, transfer partners, elite status), refer to the Atmos Rewards page at /programs/atmos. This Hawaiian Airlines page documents the operating carrier (routes, fleet, baggage, lie-flat A330 product) plus a historical record of HawaiianMiles for readers searching for the former program.
Hawaiian operates from Daniel K. Inouye International (HNL) and serves inter-island Hawaii, US mainland-Hawaii, Japan, South Korea, Australia/NZ, and Pacific Islands. Lie-flat First Class on the A330 wide-body is the carrier's premium product. The Hawaiian Airlines Mastercard (Bank of America) continues to operate, now earning Atmos Rewards points; cardholders retain free first checked bag, companion fare discounts, and priority boarding on HA flights.

Loyalty programs change rules, fees, transfer ratios, and award pricing all the time — sometimes without warning. We do our best to keep these pages current, but the program's own site is always the final word. Always confirm specifics directly with Hawaiian Airlines before transferring miles or booking an award. Treat anything on this page as a starting point, not a guarantee. Crazy4Points is not responsible for actions taken based on information here — see our Terms of Service for full details.
