HONOLULU — Hawaiian Airlines says it will soon begin charging $15 for a first checked bag on flights between the mainland and Hawaii.
The carrier will also adjust its frequent flier program by increasing the mileage needed to redeem award tickets.
The $15 baggage fee will be added for tickets purchased after Aug. 1 for travel starting Oct. 1.
The Honolulu-based airline says there will be no charge for the first piece of checked luggage on interisland flights.
Hawaiian already charges $25 for a second bag on mainland flights and $17 on interisland flights.
As for the frequent flier program, the minimum for a roundtrip interisland ticket will rise from 10,000 to 15,000 miles. The minimum for trans-Pacific flights will increase from 35,000 to 40,000 miles.
