Hawaiian Airlines made a change this week to accept surfboards, bicycles, golf clubs and other sports equipment as standard checked baggage on every flight.
The new measure will allow travelers to save money. Those who book flights across Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines will also enjoy bringing their sports equipment as a standard checked bag throughout the network.
Those who book their tickets with the Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard will receive two free checked bags, making it cost-effective and easy to bring both your sports equipment and your normal luggage.
“Hawaiʻi is synonymous with surfing and many ocean and land-based activities that draw visitors from around the world,” said Sandra Wang, product manager at Hawaiian Airlines. “We are excited to extend this new benefit to our visitors and kamaʻāina so they can enjoy their favorite sports and hobbies while exploring Hawaiʻi and anywhere they travel in our network, including Asia, Oceania and the U.S. continent.”
Hawaiian Airlines also launched a new loyalty program for Hawaiian residents, called Huaka’i by Hawaiian. The program provides a free checked bag for Neighbor Island flights, 10 to 20 percent off one Neighbor Island booking per quarter and monthly deals.
