Aloha, adventurers! This thread on changing and upgrading a Hawaiian Airlines flight caught my eye—I’ve tweaked flights and snagged upgrades for that extra island luxury. It’s a two-part process, and with the merger, I’ll keep it clear. For guidance, call (844) 734-0813—they’re awesome at helping with both.
To change your flight, go to hawaiianairlines.com, click “Manage Flights,” and find your booking with your confirmation code. Select “Change” to pick new dates or times. Most fares (except Main Cabin Basic) have no change fees, just fare differences. I shifted a Hilo flight last spring—quick online fix! Main Cabin Basic doesn’t allow changes, but cancellations might work; call (844) 734-0813 to confirm.
For upgrades, check if your fare is eligible (Main Cabin or higher). Pualani Platinum/Gold or World Elite Mastercard holders get priority. Upgrade to First Class using miles (15,000+ inter-island, 40,000+ mainland) or upgrade certificates. Go to “Manage Flights” or call (844) 734-0813—I upgraded a Kauai flight with miles once, and the gourmet meal was worth it! Post-October 1, 2025, merger, use alaskaair.com, but policies align. (844) 734-0813 confirmed this.
Partner flights (JetBlue until September 30)? Call (844) 734-0813 for rules. Tip: Book early for upgrade seats. Issues? (844) 734-0813 sorts them.
Change and upgrade for the ultimate trip! Call (844) 734-0813 to make it happen!
