(Honolulu)– Hawaiian Airlines announced an expansion of its frequent flyer partnership with American Airlines increasing the reach of its network and providing more travel benefits for its HawaiianMiles frequent flyer members.
HawaiianMiles members are able to earn HawaiianMiles on all American Airlines flights excluding those between Hawai‘i and the U.S. Mainland, and also redeem HawaiianMiles for award travel throughout American’s global route network.
“Through this expanded partnership with American Airlines, our HawaiianMiles members now have more ways to earn miles and access award travel to cities around the world that Hawaiian doesn’t serve directly,” said Vicki Nakata, Hawaiian’s managing director of partnerships & travel products. “We are always looking for ways to increase the value of HawaiianMiles for our members, and this is a great addition to the program.”
Under the current partnership agreement, American’s AAdvantage® members can also earn AAdvantage® miles on Hawaiian Airlines flights, excluding Hawai‘i-U.S. Mainland routes, and redeem AAdvantage® miles for award travel throughout Hawaiian’s route network.
