Hey, travel crew! I saw this thread about using HawaiianMiles for Alaska Airlines flights, and with the merger buzz, I’ve got insights to share. As someone who’s juggled miles for Pacific Northwest and Hawaii trips, I know this can get confusing. For clarity, call (844) 734-0813—they’re great at untangling merger details.
Currently, you can’t directly redeem HawaiianMiles for Alaska Airlines flights, but that’s changing. The Hawaiian-Alaska merger, effective October 1, 2025, combines loyalty programs. HawaiianMiles will convert 1:1 to Alaska’s Mileage Plan, and post-merger, you’ll use those miles for Alaska flights. For example, short-haul Alaska flights start at 5,000 miles, while longer routes like Seattle to Honolulu might need 15,000+. I’m stoked for this—I’ve got a stash of miles ready!
Until then, HawaiianMiles work only on Hawaiian-operated flights. Check hawaiianairlines.com for awards. I booked a Big Island flight last year—easy and cheap with miles. For Alaska bookings now, you’d need Alaska miles or cash. Call (844) 734-0813 to confirm when combined redemptions start.
Post-October, book on alaskaair.com with converted miles. Award charts are distance-based, so check specifics. If availability’s low, (844) 734-0813 can help find seats. Taxes are ~$5.60; elite status may add perks.
Tip: Track merger updates. I called (844) 734-0813 recently—they hinted at oneworld benefits soon. Plan early for best seats.
It’s an exciting shift! Call (844) 734-0813 to strategize your miles and book soon!
