Alaska Airlines, Inc., which includes Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, announced expanded seasonal service, including new nonstop flights between Honolulu (HNL) and Boise (BOI) and Spokane (GEG), as well as increased service between Honolulu and Las Vegas (LAS). As part of these seasonal network adjustments, designed to align capacity with evolving travel demand, Hawaiian will not resume its three-times-weekly seasonal Honolulu-Auckland service.

Beginning in mid-December, Alaska Airlines will be the only carrier to connect Honolulu with Boise and Spokane, expanding access between Hawaiʻi and the Pacific Northwest and Mountain West — regions with strong and growing demand for Island travel.

Both routes, operated with an Alaska Airlines-branded Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, will offer the only nonstop service between these markets and Hawaiʻi, with convenient onward connections to Neighbor Island destinations. Demand from both Boise and Spokane has been particularly strong during the winter and early spring seasons, with a significant portion of travelers continuing to islands beyond Oʻahu. 

Hawaiian Airlines will also increase seasonal capacity on existing routes, including the addition of three weekly flights between Honolulu and Las Vegas (LAS) during peak holiday and spring break periods.

These additions, paired with increased California flying, means Hawaiʻi seasonal capacity will grow 3% year-over-year and up to 6% during peak holiday periods, reflecting the Islands’ strategic value and enduring strength of U.S. domestic travel, while providing more access to the U.S. continent for Hawaiʻi residents and cargo.

Increased Hawaiʻi Flying

*Flight schedules on these routes will be adjusted slightly during select periods in early 2027. Guests are encouraged to review departure and arrival times when booking. 

Adjustments to Hawaiian’s South Pacific Network

Hawaiian Airlines’ seasonal, three-times- weekly, Honolulu–Auckland service, which has operated during the winter since the pandemic, will not resume in November due to challenges of high fuel costs, soft demand recovery in international Pacific markets, unfavorable exchange rates and evolving global travel trends. 

Hawaiian continues to offer international nonstop service from Honolulu to Osaka, Pago Pago, Papeete, Rarotonga, Tokyo and Sydney while also focusing on strengthening its international network from Honolulu by optimizing existing routes and leveraging partnership opportunities through the oneworld alliance to expand its global reach. 

Today, guests enjoy a more seamless travel experience from booking to boarding, industry-leading loyalty benefits through Atmos Rewards, and greater access to destinations throughout the U.S. continent and the world. 

Across Hawaiʻi, Alaska and Hawaiian offer more than 250 daily flights to, from and within the Islands, with nonstop access between Hawaiʻi and more than 20 domestic and international destinations, plus connections to more than 125 cities across North and Central America through Alaska’s network, and nearly 1,000 global destinations via the oneworld alliance.
