Baggage fees

No reliable fixed price is listed here. Check your booking for the cost of adding a bag; an unlisted price does not mean it is free.

Official baggage policy
How to use this policy

Check cabin bag dimensions, weight and personal-item limits separately. A bag has to pass every published limit at once; being under the length and width limit does not help if the depth, weight, or fare-specific allowance is tighter.

Editorial signal only. Measure the packed bag and verify the operating carrier's rule.

Hawaiian Airlines liquids policy

Check departure and transfer airport security rules for liquids, medicine and infant food; the cabin allowance does not establish a worldwide liquid-volume rule.

Family & Infants

Infant (under 2)

Lap infants do not receive a separate cabin allowance; a diaper bag counts toward the accompanying adult allowance. US domestic lap-infant travel is free; international pricing depends on the itinerary.

Stroller

A child car seat and stroller may be checked free at the counter or gate. Special stroller-wagon size/weight conditions apply; no aircraft-door return guarantee is retained.

Car seat

An FAA-approved child restraint occupied by the child may be carried in the cabin subject to the carrier seating and fit rules; child car seats may also be checked free.

Children's allowance

A child travelling in a booked seat uses the ordinary one-carry-on and one-personal-item allowance.

The Hawaiian brand remains active. The 22 April 2026 passenger-system transition placed Hawaiian flights under the AS flight code; HA is not the current flight prefix. Do not apply an invented smaller 717 box or a second First Class carry-on. Standard carry-on is free; checked-bag fees depend on itinerary, ticket date and eligibility. No universal excess-cabin fee established.
