We check out some of the highlights of Honolulu, which you can reach by redeeming Qantas Points on Hawaiian Airlines out of Sydney.

Hawaiian Airlines will no longer be an American Express Membership Rewards partner in Australia from 30 June 2025.

The very best lounge at Honolulu Airport is, unfortunately, closing its doors. Here’s what’s planned for its serene surrounds.

If the deal goes ahead, travellers could mix Qantas and Hawaiian flights via Honolulu to reach their final destination, while being rewarded with Qantas Points and Status Credits.

With oneworld Alliance membership on the cards, Hawaiian’s partnership with Qantas will be more than just frequent flyer ‘earn and burn’.

With a partnership between Qantas and Hawaiian Airlines kicking off later in the year, the days of redeeming Velocity Points on Hawaiian Airlines flights are numbered.

There’s a bigger and better lounge coming to the airline’s home hub following the recent merger with Alaska Airlines.

While there’s some good news for travellers buying Flexible Economy from Hawaiian Airlines, practically every other flight will earn fewer Status Credits than before.

It’s a new opportunity for Australian-based flyers to transfer points from Amex Membership Rewards to Hawaiian Airlines, and then onwards to Alaska Airlines.
