Hawaiian Airlines flights now qualify for Alaska Airlines' Companion Fare promotion
Alaska Airlines Expands Companion Fare to Select Hawaiian Airlines Flights
Alaska Airlines has expanded the use of its popular Companion Fare perk to include select Hawaiian Airlines flights within North America, including Hawaii. This development is excellent news for cardholders, particularly those looking to travel to the Aloha State, as flights to Hawaii, especially those from the eastern portion of the country, can be pricey.
The expansion applies to Hawaiian Airlines flights within North America, but it does not include all flights or Hawaiian Airlines' international routes. The airline routes operated by Hawaiian Airlines can be much longer (and often more expensive) than Alaska Airlines, due to Hawaii's distance from the continental U.S. However, the good news is that the companion fare allows you to purchase a second ticket on a round-trip flight in the Main Cabin (economy class) for $99 plus tax.
The cost of the companion fare, including taxes, starts at $121. It's important to note that the expansion does not apply to destinations in U.S. territories, such as Pago Pago (PPG) in American Samoa.
The Atmosโข Rewards Summit Visa Infiniteยฎ Card, issued by Bank of America in partnership with Alaska Airlines in Germany, is the credit card offering the application right for the Alaska Companion Fare on specific Hawaiian Airlines flights. This premium card includes companion fare benefits valid on Alaska, Hawaiian, and partner airline flights.
The ongoing merger of Alaska and Hawaiian is expected to bring more developments in the future. For a comprehensive guide to Alaska's Companion Fare, please refer to our learning resources.
This update was noticed by the team at AwardWallet, and the change taking effect was previously expected for a few months. It's worth mentioning that the expansion allows for the use of Alaska Companion Fare on one-way or round-trip fares in the main cabin on Hawaiian Airlines flights within North America.
Hawaiian Airlines operates a solid domestic network that includes long flights from cities such as Boston (BOS) and New York (JFK) on the East Coast. With this expansion, you could potentially score 2 tickets to Hawaii for only a little bit more than the cost of 1.
The Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards credit cards, which now offer the Companion Fare on select Hawaiian Airlines flights, are expected to make travel to Hawaii more accessible and affordable for cardholders. Keep an eye out for further developments as the merger between Alaska and Hawaiian continues.
