PrintFlying Hawaiian? You'll pay to check first bag
Hawaiian Airlines adds $15 charge to check first bag.
HONOLULU — Hawaiian Airlines says it will soon begin charging $15 each way for a first checked bag on flights between the mainland and Hawaii.
The carrier will also adjust its frequent flier program by increasing the mileage needed to redeem award tickets. Delta and Alaska Airlines announced similar changes to their programs this week.
The $15 baggage fee will be added for tickets purchased after Aug. 1 for travel starting Oct. 1.
The Honolulu-based airline says there will be no charge for the first piece of checked luggage on interisland flights.
Hawaiian already charges $25 for a second bag on mainland flights and $17 on interisland flights.
As for the frequent flier program, the minimum for a roundtrip interisland ticket will rise from 10,000 to 15,000 miles. The minimum for trans-Pacific flights will increase from 35,000 to 40,000 miles.
