What the bags cost

We have not verified this airline's baggage fees against the carrier yet. Rather than guess, we have left it blank — check the airline before you fly.

Hawaiian no longer publishes its own baggage policy. Since the Alaska merger its rules appear on alaskaair.com, so Hawaiian Airlines baggage rules and Alaska’s are now one document.

Hawaiian’s former baggage pages redirect or return errors. Its contract of carriage baggage section points to Alaska.

What that means if you booked Hawaiian

Your ticket is still a Hawaiian ticket. The rules governing your bags are published on the Alaska site.

Looking for a Hawaiian baggage page and finding an error is not a site fault. The page has genuinely moved.

Go to the alaskaair.com baggage section and read the allowance shown for your route.

The one part of Hawaiian Airlines baggage rules we can confirm

The shared page gives 22 by 14 by 9 inches, or 56 by 36 by 23 centimeters. This is the standard US carry-on frame.

It matches Delta, American and United. A bag bought for any US carrier fits.

That figure comes from the joint page rather than from a Hawaiian publication, because a Hawaiian one no longer exists.

What we could not read

Interisland and North America checked allowances could not be read separately. Alaska blocks automated access to most of its site.

So this page carries no checked table and no fee schedule. Hawaiian Airlines baggage rules on those points are left blank rather than guessed at.

Our verification policy sets out why we would rather show a gap.

Interisland flying is the open question

Hawaiian’s interisland network historically ran different allowances from its North America routes. Whether that survives the merger is not something we can confirm from the joint page.

Short interisland hops and mainland flights are very different operations. It would be reasonable for the allowances to differ, but reasonable is not verified.

Check your specific route in your booking rather than assuming one network wide rule.

Where to look instead

The booking confirmation states your allowance against your actual fare and route. That is the most reliable source available to you.

The Alaska baggage section loads normally in a browser and carries the current fee schedule. It is blocked only to automated requests like ours.

Our Alaska Airlines page covers the same merged policy from the other side.

The bottom line

Hawaiian Airlines baggage rules are now Alaska’s, and the cabin bag is a standard 22 by 14 by 9. The checked side we cannot yet read, so we do not print it.

Confirm the carry-on in the size checker, and take the checked figures from your booking.

Common questions

Does Hawaiian still publish its own baggage policy?

No. Since the Alaska merger its rules appear on alaskaair.com, and the former Hawaiian baggage pages redirect or return errors.

What is the Hawaiian carry-on size?

22 by 14 by 9 inches, or 56 by 36 by 23 centimeters, taken from the joint Alaska and Hawaiian page.

Are interisland allowances different from North America?

Historically they were, but we could not read the two separately on the joint page, so we do not state them.

Where do I find my Hawaiian checked allowance?

In your booking confirmation, which states it against your actual fare and route.

Is my Hawaiian ticket still a Hawaiian ticket?

Yes. Only the published baggage rules have moved to the Alaska site.

Why is no fee table shown here?

Alaska blocks automated access to most of its site, so the fee schedule could not be read and is left blank rather than guessed.
