Best credit card to use at Hawaiian Airlines.
AirlinesTravel
Hawaiian Airlines is the dominant carrier between the U.S. mainland and Hawaii, plus inter-island routes. Tickets code as airfare on every card we track. The co-branded Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard offers a discount on round-trip companion tickets to Hawaii each year and bonus miles on the airline. With Alaska Airlines' acquisition closed, Hawaiian's loyalty program is integrating with Alaska's Mileage Plan, so long-term value will increasingly route through Alaska's award chart.
