Hawaiian Airlines officially joined the Oneworld Alliance on April 23, 2026, becoming the third US-based carrier in the alliance alongside Alaska and American Airlines

## Summary

Hawaiian Airlines has officially joined the Oneworld Alliance, effective April 23, 2026. The move follows Alaska Airlines' acquisition of Hawaiian, making Hawaiian a member of the same parent company as Alaska, which joined Oneworld in 2015. **Key Impacts for Frequent Fliers:**
* **Network Expansion:** Oneworld's global network now includes Hawaiian's routes to Honolulu, Hilo, Kahului, Rarotonga (Cook Islands), Pago Pago (American Samoa), and Papeete (Tahiti). This adds significant Pacific connectivity.
* **Miles & Redemption:** Members of other Oneworld frequent flyer programs can now earn and redeem miles on Hawaiian Airlines flights.
* **Elite Benefits:** Top-tier elite members from other Oneworld carriers will receive priority benefits on Hawaiian, including access to First Class check-in, nearly 700 premium airport lounges (including Amsterdam Schiphol and Seoul Incheon), and fast-track security lanes.
* **Operational Integration:** Hawaiian has been integrated into the Sabre passenger service system, aligning it with Alaska and American Airlines. Hawaiian Airlines operates approximately 230 daily flights, connecting the Hawaiian Islands to key Oneworld hubs in Los Angeles, New York–JFK, Seattle, Sydney, and Tokyo. This marks a significant shift in the alliance's composition, adding a third US carrier and strengthening its presence in the Pacific region
