Hawaiian Airlines is rolling out some amazing benefits for those who love to travel with their sports gear. Whether you’re off to play a few rounds under the sun in stunning locales or just venturing out for a quick escape, traveling is about to become a lot smoother!
Pack Your Clubs: New Policy Alert!
Here’s the scoop: Hawaiian Airlines now officially classifies select sports equipment as standard checked baggage. That’s right, your beloved golf bags, surfboards, and even bicycles are covered! This refreshing update opens up a treasure trove of possibilities for everyone who thrives on adventure and sports. The product manager at Hawaiian Airlines, Sandra Wang, explains how this new policy perfectly reflects Hawaii’s vibrant culture surrounding sports and recreation. So, wave goodbye to those anxious moments worrying about checked baggage fees when you’re headed out for your next big golfing trip!
Traveling Made Easier
Buckle up, because things just got even better! If you’re booking your flight with a Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard, then you can check two bags for free. Yes, you heard it right—*two bags*! This delightful perk extends specifically to your sports equipment, making it easier than ever to hit the links. The airline previously allowed surfboards as standard baggage, but now this refreshingly generous adjustment is a game-changer for golfers. No more worrying about hidden costs when checking your clubs!
For those who consider their golf gear a precious investment, you can now rest easy knowing that surfboard bags (along with your golf bags, of course) can weigh up to 100 pounds without additional fees. Just a friendly reminder though, if your gear tips the scale over 50 pounds, regular baggage fees will still apply. It’s all about making the sport you love so much, not only accessible but also budget-friendly!
Discounts and More!
Not to stop there, Hawaiian Airlines has launched an exciting new discount program tailored specifically for local residents called Huakaʻi by Hawaiian. Yep, you read that right! This fab membership allows locals to check one bag for free, so whether it’s your golf clubs, surfboards, or what-have-you, you can enjoy a stress-free travel experience. As the airline nears its 95th anniversary, this program serves as a heartfelt thank-you to the loyal residents who have supported them through the years.
Joining the Huakaʻi Program is a breeze. All you need is to have a HawaiianMiles account with a mailing address in the area. Once you’re in, discounts will be at your fingertips, allowing you to book flights starting January 8 with ease. Imagine the thrill of getting a sweet deal on flights while hauling your full set of clubs with you!
Let the Games Begin
With about 150 daily flights within the state and direct access to a plethora of fantastic destinations, Hawaiian Airlines sets the stage for golfers and sports lovers alike. Not only have they been recognized for their high level of service, but they’ve also consistently topped the charts for on-time performance. That means as you gear up to chase those little white balls, you can expect a smooth ride all the way!
So, this new benefit isn’t merely about hitting the golf course; it’s about embracing a lifestyle filled with exhilarating sports and unforgettable adventures. Dust off those clubs, set your tee times, and get ready to explore breathtaking destinations with the added perk of a fantastic travel experience courtesy of Hawaiian Airlines!
