Earn miles without flying
Hawaiian Airlines has established partnerships with a wide array of companies to enhance the opportunities available to earn miles on a daily basis. This expansive network includes not only partner airlines but also an extensive list of hotels, car rental services, restaurants, shops, and much more.
These collaborations are designed to cater to the diverse needs and preferences of Hawaiian Airlines’ customers, allowing them to accumulate miles through everyday activities and transactions beyond just flying. Whether it’s booking a stay at a luxurious hotel, renting a car for a road trip, dining at a favorite restaurant, or shopping at various retail outlets, customers can effortlessly earn miles that can be redeemed for future travel and other exciting rewards.
Donate miles to charity
The spirit of community thrives in Hawaii, and Hawaiian Airlines is honored to support local nonprofits driving positive communal changes. The airline collaborates with 14 organizations, each vital to the pillars of our society: culture, education, environment, and health and human services. Frequent flyers can donate miles to a Hawaii-based charity, contributing to crucial local initiatives.
Donations play a vital role in various efforts, from safeguarding coral reefs and preserving Hawaiian traditions to fulfilling the wishes of critically ill children and supporting medical travel, among many others. Each year, Hawaiian Airlines pledges to match donations up to 500,000 miles for every charity involved. This means your miles not only directly benefit the chosen nonprofit but also aid in achieving a broader yearly objective.
Hawaiian Airlines History
Hawaiian Airlines has played a crucial role in Hawaii’s community for generations, starting back in 1929 with an original fleet that included two 8-seater Sikorsky aircraft and a Bellanca monoplane. From those humble beginnings, the airline has expanded to become the largest and most longstanding airline in Hawaii, transporting over 10 million passengers annually.
