I actually looked into this exact question a while back when I was planning a trip to Maui. I’d been earning JetBlue TrueBlue points for a couple of years and really wanted to see if I could use them on a Hawaiian Airlines flight. At first, I wasn’t sure how it worked, so I called JetBlue’s customer service to get the details. The representative explained that JetBlue and Hawaiian Airlines have a partnership that lets you earn and redeem points on each other’s flights, but with some limitations.
When I tried to book, I realized the redemption process isn’t as straightforward as booking a regular JetBlue flight online. I couldn’t just go on the JetBlue website and choose a Hawaiian Airlines route with my points. Instead, I had to call JetBlue directly to make the redemption, and availability depended on specific routes. I found that the partnership mainly covers inter-island flights within Hawaii and some longer routes between the mainland and the islands.
Even though it took a little extra effort, the agent I spoke with made the process smooth and easy to understand. I ended up using my points for a short flight from Honolulu to Maui, and everything worked out perfectly. So yes, you can use JetBlue points for Hawaiian Airlines, but be ready to do it over the phone and check which routes qualify first.
