Free vs paid

Always free (size-compliant): 1 personal item + 1 carry-on on all fares including Saver.

Saver / Main: checked fees apply (NA $45 / $55 / $200 on Apr 10+ tickets; interisland $30 / $40) unless an Atmos / card / military / Huakaʻi / Club 49 / First waiver applies. Saver = Main bag fees — carry-on free; status bag waivers still apply; confirm boarding on Hawaiian.

Unlike United Basic Economy: Saver still includes a free carry-on; checked bags are still paid at Main rates (not a personal-item-only cabin).

Atmos / Visa / HA Mastercard / military / Huakaʻi / Club 49 / First: summarize from official pages only; confirm terms before you rely on a free bag. Note Mastercard geographic limits (NA↔Hawaii + interisland; international excluded) and AS combine rules.

International / codeshare: check your confirmation for which carrier’s policy applies.

Gotchas

  • Fees stack (piece + OW + OS) — both overweight and oversize are charged when applicable.
  • Ticket date matters: Apr 10, 2026+ vs Oct 14, 2025–Apr 9, 2026 legacy table.
  • Online vs airport: Apr 10+ NA table shows a single $45 / $55 — no prepaid discount listed (check hawaiianairlines.com if a discount returns).
  • Interisland fees are lower — don’t apply mainland NA $ to wholly-within-Hawaii.
  • Saver does not change checked fee amounts vs Main.
  • Atmos Visa / HA Mastercard free bag: guests + itinerary eligibility + operated-by list; cannot combine rules on AS side — confirm current terms.
  • Huakaʻi 2nd bag on Apr 10+ table: research flagged column conflict vs legacy — confirm the live accordion before treating as Free or $40.
  • Club 49 free counts on HA page — confirm the live accordion.
  • Codeshares: policy may follow the operating carrier — check your confirmation.
  • HA/Alaska unified copy does not mean every AS waiver auto-applies on every HA itinerary — use published HA rows.

Avoid fees

  1. Use the free carry-on + personal item when packing light — works on Saver.
  2. Stay ≤ 50 lb / ≤ 62 linear in to avoid OW/OS stacking.
  3. Check Atmos status / eligible Visa / HA Mastercard / military / Huakaʻi / Club 49 / First before paying.
  4. Know your ticket purchase date — older tickets may still use the $40 / $35 pre-pay table.
  5. For wholly-within-Hawaii, use the published $30 / $40 table — not mainland NA.
