Travel News Update
Good news for travelers—Hawaiian Airlines and Qantas have joined forces to make air travel between Australia, the United States of America, New Zealand, and Hawaii more convenient, more comfortable, and more rewarding. The new alliance provides more flights, better connections, and more chances to earn rewards when you travel.
If you enjoy traveling or are a Qantas Frequent Flyer, here’s how this wonderful news can be of advantage to you.
More Destinations, More Flights
With this partnership, Qantas Frequent Flyers can now buy flights to Hawaiian Airlines’ whole big network. And that is not all:
- All the major Hawaiian Islands (the Big Island, Maui, Kauai, and Oahu)
- 15 US mainland cities (Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Los Angeles)
- 10 international destinations
This gives travelers more ways to get where they want to go, especially if you’re flying from Australia or New Zealand. Now, it’s easier to plan a trip that includes places like Hawaii and popular US cities—all in one simple booking.
Easier Trips from Australia and New Zealand
Hawaiian Airlines operates nonstop services from Honolulu to Auckland and Sydney, and that is excellent news. You can now travel to the United States easily from Australia or New Zealand through Hawaii. With one-stop hassle-free connections to larger cities such as New York, Chicago, or Seattle, the journey becomes short and easy.
This setup makes you travel more for the person without causing them to stop as frequently or switch airlines as often. It is perfect for holidaying short and holidaying long.
Other Benefits for Qantas Members
If you’re a Qantas Frequent Flyer, you’re in luck now. Now, whenever you fly with Hawaiian Airlines (if you book with a Qantas flight number), you earn Qantas Points and Status Credits too.
This includes travel in Hawaii and to the mainland US. That is, additional opportunities to bank points that may be used to redeem future flights, seat upgrades, or other rewards.
And now that Qantas has 17,000 reward seats every day, including 1,000 in premium cabins on international routes, there are additional opportunities to use your points to redeem upgraded seats and hassle-free travel.
Easy Booking with Codeshare Flights
The partnership also has a codeshare, so Hawaiian Airlines flights can be booked ahead of time by Qantas flyers. Your whole trip—all connections—are reserved at once. It’s more convenient and trouble-free.
This is convenient when flying around Hawaii or traveling to another US city after arriving in Honolulu. It’s all convenient, so you do not have to worry about purchasing individual tickets or missing a connection.
Cozy Flights with Hawaiian Airlines
Hawaiian Airlines is known for its friendly service and relaxing flights. On the Sydney to Honolulu flight, they fly a large Airbus A330 with:
- 18 lie-flat leather seats in Premium Cabin
- 68 Extra Comfort seats with extra legroom
- 192 seats in the Main Cabin
Whether flying for business or leisure, a comfortable and easy flight is what you will experience. Comfort has been its priority since the very day Hawaiian Airlines took to the skies more than 96 years ago.
Additional Travel Options for Qantas Customers
Qantas also now has 20 million reward seats in its own network and in its partners like Jetstar, Emirates, American Airlines, and numerous others. Now with Hawaiian Airlines in the picture, there are even more places Qantas Frequent Flyers can fly to using their points.
It is good news for travelers who want to fly to different regions of the world and have open or flexible itineraries.
A Win for Travelers
This partnership is an exciting move forward for travelers. It gives you:
- More places to fly to
- More chances to earn and use Qantas Points
- Improved and faster flight connections
- Long-haul comfort travel
- One simple booking for the entire journey
Whether you’re heading to Hawaii’s beach break, a USA road trip, or a New Zealand adventure, you have more choices and benefits than ever before.
Final Thoughts
The new partnership between Qantas and Hawaiian Airlines is great news for all who travel often or want to experience a better travelling experience. Additional flights, easier booking, and additional rewards translate to your next US to Australia, New Zealand, or Hawaii flight being more relaxing and rewarding.
So whether it’s a weekend break or a foreign holiday, it’s now more convenient than ever to fly further, earn more, and make every second of your travel count.
