Exciting News for Golf Lovers: Hawaiian Airlines Unveils New Benefits for Sports Gear!
Hey there, golf enthusiasts! If you’ve ever lugged your trusty golf clubs along on your travels, you know just how tricky it can be to check them in.

Pack Your Clubs: New Policy Alert!
Hawaiian Airlines has officially labeled select sports equipment as standard checked baggage on all flights. This exciting update includes those heavy golf bags, along with surfboards and bicycles, opening up a world of possibilities for sports lovers and adventure seekers. The new policy aligns perfectly with Hawaii’s cultural connection to sports and recreation. Now, you won’t have to feel anxious about checked baggage fees when hauling your clubs on your next golf getaway.
Traveling Made Easier
Booking your flight with a Hawaiian Airlines World Elite Mastercard? Well, grab your clubs and pack them up because you can check two bags for free. Yes, you read that right! This delightful perk now extends to your sports equipment. Previously, Hawaiian Airlines allowed surfboards as standard baggage after merging with another airline, but this new adjustment is a real game-changer for golfers looking to hit the links in style.
And here’s something for those who take their golf gear seriously: the updated policy allows surfboard bags—and yes, golf bags—to weigh up to 100 pounds without incurring any extra fees. However, do keep in mind that baggage fees still apply for items over 50 pounds. It’s all about enjoying your favorite pastimes without worrying about your budget!
Discounts and More!
Just as Hawaiian Airlines has revamped its sports equipment policy, they’ve also launched a brand-new discount program for residents called Huakaʻi by Hawaiian. This special membership allows locals to check one bag for free, which can include all your beloved sporting equipment—from your golf clubs to your surfboards. As the airline approaches its 95th anniversary, this program serves as a sweet thank-you to the residents who have supported the airline over the years.
Getting in on this deal is as simple as having a HawaiianMiles account with a mailing address in the region. Once you’re part of the Huakaʻi Program, you’ll be eligible to receive discount codes that can be used for travel starting January 8. Imagine the thrill of booking your flights at a discount, knowing you can take along your full set of clubs!
Let the Games Begin
With about 150 daily flights connecting fabulous destinations, Hawaiian Airlines is paving the way for golfers and sports enthusiasts alike. They’ve not only been recognized for high service quality but also topped the charts in on-time performance for several years running. This means you can expect a smooth ride as you head out to play a round of golf on some of the world’s most picturesque courses.
So this new benefit isn’t just about playing golf; it’s about embracing a lifestyle filled with fun sports and adventures. Grab your clubs, make those tee times, and get ready to explore beautiful destinations with the convenience of Hawaiian Airlines!
