Hawaiian Airlines has announced that they will now accept surfboards, bicycles, golf clubs and other sports equipment as standard checked baggage on eligible flights.
On Wednesday (January 8, 2025), Hawaiian Airlines announced that they will now accept surfboards, bicycles and other sports equipment as standard checked baggage on all flights. Guests booking flights with the Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® will receive two free checked bags, including sports equipment, on eligible flights. Additionally, as part of Alaska Air Group, travelers can bring their sports equipment as a standard checked baggage across the combined carrier’s network.
In Wednesday’s announcement, Hawaiian Airlines’ Product Manager, Sandra Wang, said,
“Hawaiʻi is synonymous with surfing and many ocean and land-based activities that draw visitors from around the world. We are excited to extend this new benefit to our visitors and kamaʻāina [Hawaii residents] so they can enjoy their favorite sports and hobbies while exploring Hawaiʻi and anywhere they travel in our network, including Asia, Oceania and the U.S. continent.”
Hawaiian’s new sports equipment policy coincides with the launch of the carrier’s Huakaʻi by Hawaiian, a free program offering exclusive perks and discounts for Hawaiʻi residents. Members will receive a free checked bag on Neighbor Island flights, 10-20 percent off one Neighbor Island booking per quarter, and monthly network-wide deals.
