Win a Trip to Hawaii with Hawaiian Airlines Sweepstakes
Enter the Hawaiian Airlines sweepstakes for a chance to win a trip for two to Hawaii. Learn how the airline's new oneworld alliance status affects your travel.
Hawaiian Airlines has launched a sweepstakes that includes a trip for two to the islands to celebrate Lei Day and its recent entry into the oneworld alliance.
Sweepstakes Prize and Entry Information
The “Aloha Around the World” giveaway provides a trip for two to Hawaiʻi. Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska Airlines, and Horizon Air organized this promotion to mark the airline’s new alliance status and the local celebration of Lei Day.
The Significance of Lei Day
Lei Day is a public holiday in Hawaiʻi celebrated on May 1. The day honors the tradition of lei making and the spirit of aloha that defines the islands. Throughout the state, communities hold parades, floral ceremonies, and competitions to celebrate the various types of lei, such as those made from plumeria, orchid, or maile. This tradition connects the people of Hawaiʻi to the natural beauty and cultural history of the islands.
New Loyalty and Alliance Benefits
Hawaiian Airlines’ membership in the oneworld alliance changes how frequent flyers use points to reach the islands. The airline is now part of the same global network as American Airlines and Alaska Airlines. This integration allows travelers to earn and redeem miles on specific partner routes.
Travelers can use American Airlines AAdvantage miles or Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles to book flights on Hawaiian Airlines. This is useful for travelers who fly into Honolulu (HNL) or Kahului (OGG) from the West Coast. While award space availability can fluctuate when airlines join new alliances, the ability to use partner miles provides more options.
The alliance also improves the connection experience at major hubs. Travelers who connect through Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) or San Francisco International Airport (SFO) can use oneworld lounge networks. For example, passengers on American Airlines can access Admirals Clubs, while Alaska Airlines flyers can use Alaska Lounges. These facilities provide a place to wait during connections to the islands.
This move puts Hawaiian Airlines in direct competition with carriers in the Star Alliance and SkyTeam networks. Those networks have long-standing connections to the Pacific. However, the oneworld partnership creates a strong corridor for travelers who move between North America and the Pacific. Frequent flyers can also earn loyalty credit on Hawaiian Airlines flights toward their status with partner airlines.
