- This Contract of Carriage is subject to all applicable laws, regulations, rules, and security directives imposed by any governmental agencies including, but not limited to, those imposed during or because of a national emergency, war, civil unrest or any terrorist activity (together, “Government Laws”). In the event of a conflict between any rules contained in this Contract of Carriage and any Government Laws, the Government Laws shall prevail.
- We are responsible for the furnishing of transportation for you and your baggage only on the flights we operate.

- No employee, agent or representative of Hawaiian has the authority to alter, modify or waive any fare rules or provision of the Contract of Carriage unless authorized by a corporate officer of Hawaiian.Hawaiian’s appointed agents and representatives are only authorized to sell Tickets for air transportation pursuant to approved fares, rules, and regulations of Hawaiian.
- Hawaiian’s obligations under the rules of this Contract of Carriage apply only to you, the ticketed passenger. There are no third-party beneficiaries to these rules.
- All transportation is subject to the Contract of Carriage and charges in effect on the date on which the Ticket is issued, except as may otherwise be provided within specific fare rules. Any references to the rules of this Contract of Carriage are coterminous and include revisions and supplements to, and reissues of, the Contract of Carriage.
- If your Ticket has been purchased and issued before the effective date of an increase in the fare related to your travel, the increase in the fare will not be collected provided there is no change in the Origin, Destination, Stopover point(s), flight(s) or dates shown on the original Ticket. These provisions apply whether the increase results from a change in the fare level, a change in conditions governing the fare or a cancellation of the fare itself.

If a passenger wants to learn more about Hawaiian’s Privacy Policy, it may be viewed at www.hawaiianairlines.com. This policy is merely a statement of administrative protocol; it is not a contract, nor is it made, or intended to be made, a part of this Contract of Carriage, nor does it create any contractual or legal rights.
- EMERGENCY SITUATIONS.
Every one of our pilots in command of a flight has authority to exercise their judgment depending on the circumstances, to declare and take any action necessary to respond to any emergency situation which may arise, in compliance with Federal Regulations.
If you require emergency medical attention on one of our flights, our flight crew has a set of procedures that they will follow. As part of those procedures, they will request the assistance of any qualified medical person (physician, nurse, physician's assistant, EMT) on-board the aircraft. They will also make the on-board medical emergency kit available, and the pilot in command will utilize on-board communications equipment to obtain additional medical support and assistance.
Hawaiian has contracted with a medical advisory group MedAire for MedLink services. MedLink allows pilot-to-physician phone contact from anywhere in the world. When contacted by the cockpit crew, the advising physician will help to provide the appropriate treatment instructions.
If the medical emergency occurs while the aircraft is still on the ground, we will request that air traffic control provide expedited taxi clearance to the terminal or dispatch the airport's emergency response medical staff to the airplane depending on the circumstances.
If the medical emergency occurs during flight, MedAire will assist in determining whether a flight diversion is necessary. If the pilot in command decides to divert the flight, an emergency may be declared. In that event, MedAire, the flight crew and other parties will determine what other actions to take to provide emergency medical assistance. MedAire can also arrange for emergency transport to a medical facility capable of treating your condition if necessary.Rule 3: Reservations and Ticketing

We reserve the right to seek reimbursement, and you agree to reimburse us, for any loss, damage or expense we may incur because of your failure to abide by this Rule 14.
Rule 15: Codeshare Flights
We have entered into codeshare arrangements with certain other air carriers (our “Codeshare Partners”) that allow us to offer you air transportation services on flights operated by these Codeshare Partners. You can identify a flight operated by one of our Codeshare Partners by its flight number. A flight operated by a Codeshare Partner will have a flight number that includes our two-letter airline designator code, “HA” followed by a 4 -digit flight number (a “Codeshare Flight”). We also identify each Codeshare Flight on our website during the booking process.
If you purchase a Ticket on a Codeshare Flight (any Ticket for a flight with designator code “HA” followed by a 4-digit flight number on passenger’s itinerary), you are subject to our Contract of Carriage with respect to ticketing and most general matters, regardless of the airline that operates the flight.
Each Codeshare Partner promulgates rules that apply to the operation of its own flights, and some of those rules may differ from our rules. For example, a Codeshare Partner may have rules governing check-in requirements, carriage of animals, baggage, baggage liability, carriage of musical instruments, smoking, unaccompanied minors and/or denied boarding compensation that differ from our rules for flights that we operate. Those terms and conditions, which are found in the Codeshare Partner’s contract of carriage for that partners Codeshare Flights, are incorporated into our Contract of Carriage by reference. Thus, a Codeshare Partner’s contract of carriage applies to flight services and operations on Codeshare Flight, and its rules supersede our rules that would otherwise be applicable. If you are traveling on a Codeshare Flight, you should review the applicable conditions of carriage to ensure your familiarity and compliance with all its rules and terms.
We also enter codeshare relationships where other airlines place their codes on some flights that we operate. If you have purchased a Ticket on a flight operated by us but your Ticket includes another airline’s designator code in the flight number, your condition of carriage is with that airline, not us.
Rule 16: Interline Transportation
NOTE: For Codeshare Flights, please see Rule 15 Codeshare Flights.
In some cases, we may issue a Ticket, check baggage, or make other arrangements for transportation over the lines of another air carrier, which are not Codeshare Flights. We refer to these situations as interline arrangements performed by interline carriers. For interline arrangements, we act only as an agent for that other carrier, and we do not assume any responsibility for the acts or omissions of the other carrier. This includes, for example, any acts or omissions relating to flight status information, any travel delays and any other situations that arise from their flight operations.
Transportation on any interline carrier is governed by that carrier’s contract or conditions of carriage. WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DEATH OR INJURY TO ANY PASSENGER THAT OCCURS ON A FLIGHT THAT WE DO NOT OPERATE. If we operate any flight as part of another carrier’s interline arrangement, then your transportation is governed by our Contract of Carriage, except in the following areas where the other carrier’s rules may apply:
- Baggage acceptance, policies and fees including, but not limited to, size, weight and quantity as well as acceptance of certain items, including musical instruments;
- Carriage of Unaccompanied Minors and/or young adults;
- Carriage of pets in the cabin of the aircraft;
- Policies for carriage of pregnant passengers; and
- Changes, cancellations and refunds.
For example, the United States Department of Transportation requires that baggage service charges for your entire itinerary are determined by the marketing carrier for the first segment of your itinerary. That carrier is the airline whose flight number is assigned to the first segment of your itinerary. If we are not the carrier, then different charges may apply. Baggage service charges are those in effect on the date of ticketing.
For more information, please see the contract or conditions of carriage of any interline carrier.
