Is there a way to book Hawaiian Airlines flights directly through JetBlue? Do they share booking systems or codeshare agreements?
 
Hey! I actually wondered the same thing not too long ago when I was planning a trip to Hawaii. I’m a regular JetBlue flyer and have a ton of TrueBlue points, so naturally, I wanted to see if I could use them to book a Hawaiian Airlines flight. At first, I thought it would be simple since I had read somewhere that the two airlines had a partnership. But when I went on JetBlue’s website, I couldn’t find any direct way to book a Hawaiian flight. It was confusing because some routes seemed to show up, while others didn’t at all.

I ended up calling JetBlue’s customer service to get some clarity. The representative explained that while JetBlue and Hawaiian used to have a codeshare agreement, things had changed, and you can’t always book Hawaiian flights directly through JetBlue anymore. I learned that sometimes you can still earn or redeem points if you book certain routes, but it’s not as seamless as before. In my case, I ended up booking directly with Hawaiian Airlines, and it actually worked out better because I could easily manage my seat selection and flight changes through their website.

Now, my advice is to double-check with both airlines before booking. Sometimes these partnerships shift, and what worked a few months ago might not work today. It’s always better to confirm ahead of time rather than deal with surprises later on.
 
I had to figure this out myself when I was planning a Hawaii trip and wanted to fly JetBlue from the East Coast but still use Hawaiian Airlines for the island leg. What I learned is that you usually book them as two separate reservations. I booked JetBlue first for my flight to the West Coast, then booked Hawaiian Airlines separately for the nonstop to Honolulu.

The important part is leaving enough time between flights since they’re not always on one ticket. I gave myself almost four hours, which helped when my JetBlue flight arrived a little late. I also had to pick up my bag and re-check it with Hawaiian, so plan for that.

When I had questions about coordinating both bookings and seat options, I called
*8  4  4 ‑7  3  4 ‑0 8  1  3* which helped clear things up. Once you understand the process, it’s actually pretty manageable and flexible.
