Checked Baggage

Concept
piece-based allowance, tiered by route (inter-island / Hawaii-mainland / international) rather than by cabin class in most cases
Economy Class
Inter-island: 1st bag USD30, 2nd USD40. Hawaii-mainland: 1st bag USD45, 2nd USD55, 3rd USD200. International (most Asia/Pacific routes): 2 bags typically free. All up to 23kg (50lb) each.
Premium Economy
Hawaiian Airlines does not currently operate a distinct Premium Economy cabin - Main Cabin figures apply.
Business Class
Hawaiian Airlines does not currently operate a distinct Business cabin on most routes - First Class is the premium cabin; confirm for the specific aircraft.
First Class
2 bags free, up to 32kg (70lb) each, on any route.

Cabin Baggage

Economy Class
1 carry-on up to 56 x 36 x 23cm (22 x 14 x 9in), approximately 11kg (25lb) - Hawaiian's integration with Alaska Air Group may be moving this toward a no-published-limit policy; confirm at booking - plus 1 free personal item with no fixed published size.
Business And First Class
Same carry-on and personal item allowance as Main Cabin.

Special Items

Infants
Stroller and car seat typically checked free outside the standard allowance; infants without their own seat generally don't receive a separate free checked bag - confirm current family terms at booking.
Sports Equipment
Surfboards/boogie boards accepted within specific length and count limits for a dedicated per-item sports equipment fee, higher than standard checked-bag pricing. Golf clubs generally count as one standard checked bag if within normal weight/size. Scuba tanks must travel empty and depressurized.

Note

Overweight (51-70lb): approximately USD75-100 by route. Oversize (over 62 linear inches): approximately USD150-200. Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard: free first checked bag for primary cardholder. Pualani Gold: 1 free bag; Pualani Platinum: 2 free bags. Last verified: August 29, 2026.
