oneworldHawaiian Airlines Business Class
Hawaiian Airlines completed its acquisition by Alaska Air Group on September 18, 2024, and full operational integration under a single operating certificate on October 29, 2025 (Hawaiian's ICAO code changed HAL -> ASA that date; IATA code changed HA -> AS on April 22, 2026). As of April 23, 2026, Hawaiian gained oneworld affiliate membership through Alaska's full membership. The 4 Boeing 787-9s Hawaiian introduced in 2024-2025 have been transferred to fly under Alaska's own brand — the Airbus A330-200 (24 aircraft) is now Hawaiian's actual long-haul widebody, alongside A321neo and domestic inter-island Boeing 717-200 service. The authentic aloha-spirit hospitality and island-inspired cuisine remain unchanged through the integration.

Airline overview
Hawaiian Airlines completed its acquisition by Alaska Air Group on September 18, 2024, and full operational integration under a single operating certificate on October 29, 2025 (Hawaiian's ICAO code changed HAL -> ASA that date; IATA code changed HA -> AS on April 22, 2026). As of April 23, 2026, Hawaiian gained oneworld affiliate membership through Alaska's full membership. The 4 Boeing 787-9s Hawaiian introduced in 2024-2025 have been transferred to fly under Alaska's own brand — the Airbus A330-200 (24 aircraft) is now Hawaiian's actual long-haul widebody, alongside A321neo and domestic inter-island Boeing 717-200 service. The authentic aloha-spirit hospitality and island-inspired cuisine remain unchanged through the integration.
Founded in 1929, Hawaiian Airlines is headquartered in United States and operates to 31+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Airbus A330-200, Airbus A321neo and Boeing 717-200 for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. Hawaiian Airlines is a oneworld alliance member, which gives passengers access to lounges and booking across all partner carriers worldwide.
The business class experience
Hawaiian Airlines First Class features Lie-flat on A330-200 (long-haul); Boeing 717-200 is a domestic inter-island narrowbody with no lie-flat product. Seat width is 21 inches (A330) and fully extended bed length is 76 inches (A330) — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on Hawaiian Airlines's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.
In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE, Bluetooth. Dining on Hawaiian Airlines: Hawaiian-inspired cuisine, island-sourced ingredients. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.
Lounges and ground experience
At the home hub: Plumeria Lounge (HNL). At other airports worldwide: Contract lounges at US mainland airports; oneworld affiliate benefits now apply. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.
On the ground at departure, Hawaiian Airlines business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.
What travelers say
“This is a fast-moving integration — codes, loyalty program, and even which aircraft fly under which brand have all changed within the past year, so verify specifics close to your travel date. If you were expecting the 787 specifically, note it now flies as an Alaska-branded aircraft, not Hawaiian. The A330 long-haul product and inter-island 717 service remain genuinely excellent for Hawaii-focused hospitality. New oneworld affiliate benefits are a real, recent upgrade.”
