Alaska Mileage Plan has long published the most competitive Hawaii award rates in the industry. Economy class from the West Coast (Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle) costs just 12,500 miles one-way — roughly half of what most other programs charge. From the East Coast, Alaska charges 17,500 miles. These rates apply on Alaska Airlines metal flights and have remained stable even as other programs have raised prices. For Hawaii-bound travelers, Alaska miles are among the most valuable in any program.
Alaska's acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines in 2024 further strengthened its Hawaii network. Hawaiian Airlines flights are now accessible with Alaska miles, adding interisland connections and more international routes to Hawaii. This means Alaska miles can now cover an entire Hawaii trip — including the intercontinental flight and interisland hops between Oahu, Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island.
The best way to accumulate Alaska miles for Hawaii: Capital One Venture X (transfers 1:1 to Alaska, earns 2x on all purchases) and the Alaska Airlines Visa cards (3x on Alaska purchases, solid sign-up bonuses). A single credit card welcome bonus — typically 40,000–75,000 miles — is often enough to cover two round-trip economy tickets to Hawaii from the West Coast.
Most Hawaii flights use narrowbody aircraft (Boeing 737s or Airbus A321s) in a domestic configuration — meaning no lie-flat business class. What passes for "first class" or "business" on these routes is typically 2-3-2 or 2-2 seating with wider seats, more legroom, and complimentary food and drinks. It's comfortable and worth the points on a 5–6 hour flight, but it's not comparable to international long-haul business class.
The exception: Hawaiian Airlines operates Airbus A330 widebodies on select mainland–Hawaii routes, including from New York and Boston. The Airbus A330's business class features recliner-style seats (not lie-flat) but with more pitch and comfort than domestic first class. If you're flying from the East Coast, routing via a Hawaiian Airlines A330 gives a more premium experience than a 737 connection.
