Hawaiian Airlines and JetBlue Spread Aloha Expanded Boston
Codeshare Simplifies Travel to Hawai'i
HONOLULU, Nov. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawaiian
Airlines and JetBlue today announced an expanded codeshare
agreement that allows travelers from dozens of cities, most of them
in the eastern U.S., to easily connect to the Hawaiian Islands via
Boston's Logan International
Airport (BOS) starting in April.
Boston-area JetBlue customers
can now purchase tickets on Hawaiian Airlines' nonstop flight to
Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye
International Airport (HNL) with JetBlue's 'B6' code and earn
TrueBlue points when they fly.
Additionally, travelers originating in 26 cities – including
Washington, DC (DCA), Pittsburgh (PIT), Philadelphia (PHL), Baltimore (BWI) and Cleveland (CLE), which currently cannot
connect to Hawai'i through JetBlue in New
York – can already purchase codeshare tickets that
carry Hawaiian's 'HA' code on their JetBlue flights that connect in
Boston, and JetBlue's 'B6' code on
Hawaiian's new nonstop flight between Logan and Honolulu. And they can use the 'B6' code on
convenient Hawaiian flights that connect Honolulu to the entire island chain.
Hawaiian and JetBlue's guests also will continue to enjoy
one-stop check-in and baggage transfers to their final destination,
as well as the opportunity to earn and redeem loyalty rewards.
"We are excited to bring the Hawaiian Islands closer to more
travelers and welcome our JetBlue guests with our warm hospitality
the moment they check in for our flight in Boston,'' said Brent
Overbeek, Hawaiian Airlines senior vice president for
revenue management and network planning. "We are Hawaii's airline and our Mea Ho'okipa ("I am host") inflight service
philosophy is embraced by travelers for its celebration of our
culture of Aloha. We know and love the Islands unlike any other
carrier because Hawai'i is home to more than 6,500 of our employees
and we have served our visitors and residents for almost 90 years.
JetBlue's excellent service have made it Boston's largest airline by any measure and
will provide Hawaiian guests new, convenient access to eastern U.S.
cities.''
"As Boston's #1 airline we welcome our partner Hawaiian Airlines
to New England where JetBlue customers and our TrueBlue members now
have the opportunity to conveniently travel to one of the world's
great destinations in superior comfort," said Tracy Bink, director of alliances and
partnerships, JetBlue. "Now Boston-based travelers, as well as new
connecting customers throughout JetBlue's network, will enjoy the
same popular codeshare approach that has been successful in our
New York hometown for six years
with our Hawaiian Airlines partnership."
Hawaiian and JetBlue also offer their loyal members the
opportunity to earn and redeem points or miles for travel on either
carrier. HawaiianMiles members can earn miles on JetBlue-operated
flights, while TrueBlue members can accrue points on
Hawaiian-operated flights. Similarly, frequent fliers can redeem
their points or miles for travel on either carrier's network,
creating a long list of destinations for each program's loyal
members.
JetBlue flights connecting to and from Boston that are covered by the codeshare
agreement are available at the following airports: Atlanta (ATL), Baltimore, Buffalo (BUF), Charlotte (CLT),
Charleston (CHS), Chicago (ORD), Cleveland, Detroit (DTW), Fort
Lauderdale (FLL), Fort
Myers (RSW), Jacksonville
(JAX), Minneapolis (MSP),
Nashville (BNA), New York (LGA and JFK), Newark (EWR), Orlando (MCO), Palm
Beach (PBI), Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh, Raleigh-Durham (RDU),
Savannah (SAV), Syracuse (SYR), Tampa (TPA) and Washington, DC (DCA).
Hawaiian Airlines will begin its five-day-a-week service to
Boston on April 4. Boston
is the largest U.S. market without nonstop service to Hawai'i with
nearly 500 people flying between eastern New England and the
Islands on any given day.
In commemoration of Hawaiian Airlines' 90th
year of operation, the flight to Boston will be numbered Flight HA90. Starting
with the inaugural flight on April 4,
HA90 will depart HNL every day but Tuesday and Wednesday at
1:45 p.m. and arrive at BOS the
following morning at 6 a.m. Flight
HA89 will depart BOS every day but Wednesday and Thursday at
8:55 a.m., except for Friday flights,
which will depart at 8 a.m. The
flights will arrive in Hawai'i the same day at 2:35 p.m. and the Friday flight will arrive at
1:40 p.m. Both HNL arrival times
offer guests ample time to settle into their accommodations and
unwind with a Hawaiian sunset, or connect to Kaua'i, Maui
or the Island of Hawai'i via the airline's convenient schedule of
some 170 daily interisland flights, all of which will have the
JetBlue codeshare.
At 5,095 miles, Hawaiian's BOS-HNL route becomes the longest
regularly scheduled route in the U.S. Guests traveling from the
East Coast to Hawai'i will enjoy the roominess and superior comfort
of Hawaiian's 278-seat Airbus A330 widebody aircraft. Incorporating
flowing curves evocative of the winds and the ocean, Hawaiian's
spacious first-class cabin features 18 lie-flat leather seats that
transform into 180-degree beds at a roomy 20.5 inches wide and 76
inches long. Aligned in a 2-2-2 configuration, the seats are
ideally tailored to leisure guests such as couples, families and
honeymooners, while offering functionality to the business
traveler. Hawaiian also recently expanded to 68 from 40 the
number of Extra Comfort main cabin seats, which offer a generous
36-inch pitch for extra leg room and priority boarding. Guests can
upgrade to Extra Comfort seats for $145 each way.
Hawaiian's Executive Chef Lee Anne
Wong, owner of Honolulu's
Koko Head Café, collaborates with Hawai'i's top chefs to delight
guests with two meals served in each direction.
In Boston, JetBlue will soon
offer flights to more than 70 nonstop destinations – many more than
any other airline – and is the leader in the number of customers
carried and total daily departures. JetBlue also
serves Boston with premium Mint flights to a half-dozen
destinations. With Mint, JetBlue re-imagined "business class"
service offered by legacy carriers with lie-flat seating, curated
food and amenities, and hospitality-trained inflight crewmembers –
offered at an affordable price. JetBlue is on track to reach 200
daily departures at Logan in the coming years.
