Note: Hawaiian’s ability to seat family members together after booking, particularly family members with Main Cabin Basic tickets and families with children 12 or older, is subject to the demand for family seating on your flight.
Hawaiian Airlines prioritizes seating children 11 years old and younger with family members and makes best efforts to seat children 12 and older with an accompanying adult. This age corresponds with its policy that children age 12 and older can travel unaccompanied.
Hawaiian Airlines also prioritizes keeping groups together if seats must be reassigned due to an equipment change.
If you were unable to select seats together for your family at booking, utilize “My Trips” on Hawaiian Airlines’ website and check-in online up to 24 hours before your flight.
Customers who purchased First Class, Extra Comfort, or Main Cabin fares can check “My Trips” anytime after booking to see if adjacent seating has become available for their selection or adjacent seats have otherwise been assigned.
Customers who purchased Main Cabin Basic fares can check “My Trips” starting 72 hours in advance of flight to see if seats together have been assigned. Main Cabin Basic ticket holders may also view and select from available seats once the check-in window opens 24 hours from departure.
If your family does not have seats together after online check-in, plan to arrive at the airport early and ask an agent to help you.
