Qantas frequent flyers will be able to use their Qantas points to book reward seats with Hawaiian Airlines from 5 June 2025, marking the start of the strategic airline partnership announced by the two carriers in January.
As part of the agreement, Qantas Frequent Flyers can book flights across Hawaiian Airlines’ network, which includes all four major Hawaiian islands, 15 cities in the United States and 10 international destinations.
Following its merger with Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines now offers nonstop services from Honolulu to Sydney and Auckland, as well as same-day, one-stop connections to North American cities including Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Francisco and Salt Lake City.
Qantas Loyalty CEO, Andrew Glance, said Hawaii has long been a favourite destination for members.
“The partnership with Hawaiian Airlines also builds on the recent launch of our direct Melbourne to Honolulu Qantas service in May and gives our members more routes, more choice and more access to travel rewards using their points,” said Glance.
“The number of Classic Reward seats booked with partner airlines has doubled in the last five years, so we know how important it is that we continue to invest in growing our network and provide members with more opportunities to use their points,” added Glance.
Qantas frequent flyers book an average of 17,000 reward seats daily, the oneworld carrier noted.
Qantas has also entered into a bilateral codeshare agreement with Hawaiian Airlines as the carrier nears oneworld membership in 2026.
Qantas frequent flyers will also earn Qantas points and status credits on Hawaiian Airlines operated flights (with a QF flight number) for travel within Hawaii and to the mainland U.S.
Hawaiian Airlines, now in its 96th year of continuous service, operates nonstop flights between Sydney and Honolulu using its 278-seat, widebody Airbus A330-200 aircraft, featuring 18 lie-flat business class seats, 68 economy class seats with extra legroom and 192 regular economy class seats.
Qantas frequent flyers can now redeem their points on 45 partner airlines, also including on Emirates.
