oneworld: Philippine Airlines and Hawaiian Join the Alliance

The oneworld alliance is having a busy 2026. Since April 23, 2026, Hawaiian Airlines has officially been a member. And on June 6, 2026, Philippine Airlines announced its upcoming membership, which will bring the alliance to 16 members. For Canadian travelers, both announcements open up concrete possibilities: new destinations in the Pacific and Asia, earning and redeeming points on these airlines, and access to oneworld status benefits.

Hawaiian Airlines joins oneworld as the third airline based in the United States, alongside Alaska Airlines and American Airlines. Specifically, Honolulu is added as a global hub for the alliance. Philippine Airlines, for its part, will become the 16th member airline and the second based in Southeast Asia. For those collecting Avios or Asia Miles, both arrivals are worth paying attention to.

Why Hawaiian Airlines Joined oneworld

Hawaiian Airlines’ membership in oneworld stems directly from its acquisition by Alaska Air Group, finalized in 2024. As Alaska Airlines was already a oneworld member, integrating Hawaiian into the same alliance was a logical next step.

All Hawaiian Airlines flights now carry AS (Alaska Airlines) flight numbers. In practice, Hawaiian operates as a sub-brand of Alaska Airlines, while retaining its distinct identity, aircraft, and service. Alaska has confirmed it has no intention of absorbing the Hawaiian brand in the short term.

The two airlines also share a common loyalty program: Atmos Rewards. Members earn and redeem points across the entire Alaska and Hawaiian network, as well as with oneworld partners.

New Destinations in the Pacific

Hawaiian Airlines’ entry into oneworld expands the alliance’s network with previously unavailable destinations. Here are the notable additions:

Honolulu (HNL): New oneworld global hub, central connection point to the Hawaiian Islands and the South Pacific
Hilo, Hawai’i: Direct access to the Big Island, a popular destination for volcanoes and nature
Rarotonga, Cook Islands: Paradise destination in the South Pacific, now accessible via oneworld
Pago Pago, American Samoa: New gateway to Samoa
Papeete, Tahiti: French Polynesia joins the oneworld network

Hawaiian Airlines operates approximately 230 daily flights to, from, and within the Hawaiian Islands. In 2025, the airline transported over 11 million passengers. Additionally, it operates an average of 140 inter-island flights per day, allowing for seamless connections between the different islands of the archipelago.

Connections to oneworld Hubs

Hawaiian Airlines already serves several major oneworld hubs, facilitating connections to the rest of the global network:

Los Angeles (LAX): American Airlines Hub
New York JFK: American Airlines Hub
Seattle (SEA): Alaska Airlines Hub
Sydney (SYD): Qantas Hub
Tokyo Haneda (HND): Japan Airlines Hub

From Canada, a traveler can transit through Seattle or Los Angeles to reach Honolulu, then continue to Tahiti or the Cook Islands on Hawaiian Airlines, all on a single oneworld itinerary.

Impact on Loyalty Programs

Hawaiian Airlines’ membership in oneworld has direct consequences for earning and redeeming points for Canadian travelers. Here’s what changes depending on your program.

Avios (British Airways, Iberia, Finnair)

Avios holders (notably via RBC Avion or American Express Membership Rewards) could already book award seats on Hawaiian Airlines since October 2025, via the British Airways website. These flights appeared under the Alaska brand. Now, they should display directly as Hawaiian Airlines flights.

In practice, the availability of reward seats to Hawaii remains limited. The islands are a very popular vacation destination for Americans. You are competing with tens of millions of American Airlines AAdvantage and Atmos Rewards members for the same seats. Consult our guide to multi-partner oneworld reward tickets with Avios to maximize your chances.

Atmos Rewards (Alaska + Hawaiian)

The Atmos Rewards program is the joint loyalty program of Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines. Members earn and redeem points on both airlines as well as across the entire oneworld network. It is the most advantageous program for frequent flyers on Hawaiian Airlines.

Other oneworld Programs

For members of Asia Miles (Cathay Pacific), Japan Airlines Mileage Bank, AAdvantage (American Airlines) or any other oneworld loyalty program, redeeming miles on Hawaiian Airlines is now possible. This is a new development for most of these programs.

Speaking of which, Cathay Pacific is currently offering a 10% bonus on points converted to Asia Miles, a good chance to top up your balance before targeting a oneworld award flight.

oneworld Status Benefits on Hawaiian

Holders of oneworld status (Emerald, Sapphire, or Ruby) now enjoy their privileges on all Hawaiian Airlines flights. Here is a summary of benefits by status level:

Benefit	Ruby	Sapphire	Emerald
Priority Check-In	✅	✅	✅ (First Class)
Priority boarding	✅	✅	✅
Lounge Access	❌	✅ (Business)	✅ (First + Business)
Fast track security	❌	✅	✅
Status point accumulation	✅	✅	✅
Reciprocal status recognition	✅	✅	✅

In particular, Emerald members get access to First Class check-in and premium lounges, regardless of their travel class. The oneworld lounge network includes nearly 700 lounges worldwide, including oneworld branded lounges at Amsterdam Schiphol and Seoul Incheon.

Hawaiian Airlines Fleet and Network

Hawaiian Airlines operates a fleet of 71 aircraft. The breakdown is as follows:

Aircraft	Number	Primary Use
Boeing 717	19	Inter-island flights
Airbus A321neo	18	US domestic routes
Airbus A330-200	24	Long-haul (Asia, Pacific)
Airbus A330-300	10	Long-haul + cargo (Amazon Air)

The airline serves 31 destinations across the Hawaiian Islands, the continental United States, Asia, and the South Pacific. Its main hub is Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu (HNL), with a secondary hub in Kahului, Maui.

What This Changes for Canadians

Hawaiian Airlines’ entry into oneworld has several concrete implications for Canadian travelers.

Smoother itineraries to Hawaii

Before this membership, booking a flight to the Hawaiian Islands via a oneworld program often required complex arrangements. Now, connections via Seattle, Los Angeles, or New York JFK to Honolulu are directly integrated into the oneworld network. Connections are protected, luggage transfers automatically, and status is recognized end-to-end.

Access to the South Pacific from Honolulu

This is the most interesting aspect for points collectors. Hawaiian Airlines offers unique routes to Tahiti, the Cook Islands, and American Samoa. These destinations were difficult to reach with oneworld points. With a multi-segment reward ticket, a Canadian can fly from Montreal to Papeete using Avios or Asia Miles, for example.

Alaska Airlines to London in May 2026

Another development to watch: Alaska Airlines is launching a daily flight between Seattle and London Heathrow in May 2026. The aircraft used is a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, transferred from the Hawaiian Airlines fleet. The slots at Heathrow are borrowed from American Airlines. For Canadians based in British Columbia, this opens a new transatlantic option on oneworld departing from Seattle.

Philippine Airlines Joins oneworld

On June 6, 2026, at the IATA Annual General Meeting in Rio de Janeiro, Philippine Airlines announced it would join oneworld. The Philippines’ flag carrier will become the alliance’s 16th full member, and the second based in Southeast Asia after Malaysia Airlines.

On the oneworld website, Philippine Airlines is currently listed as a future member. The airline serves nearly 69 destinations across 19 countries and territories. Its full integration will take several months, as is customary with each new membership. No official entry date has been confirmed yet.

Philippine Airlines already maintains partnerships with American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Hawaiian Airlines. Its choice of oneworld over Star Alliance or SkyTeam therefore stems from existing ties. For Canadian travelers, the main appeal lies in access to the airline’s Philippine and Asian network.

What Philippine Airlines Means for Your Avios

Once integration is complete, Avios holders (British Airways, Iberia, Finnair) will be able to earn and redeem points on Philippine Airlines flights, just like on any other oneworld partner. This opens new options to Manila and the Philippines, along with useful connections to the rest of Southeast Asia.

While waiting for full integration, keep an eye on official announcements. We will update this article as soon as the earning and redemption terms are confirmed. To stay informed, subscribe to our newsletter.

oneworld Members in 2026

With Philippine Airlines arriving soon, the oneworld alliance will have 16 full member airlines. Hawaiian Airlines now operates under the Alaska Airlines code, which is why it appears under Alaska on the alliance website. For a complete overview, consult our guide to the oneworld alliance for Canadian travelers.

The alliance serves over 1,000 airports in 170 countries, with approximately 13,000 daily departures. The combined fleet totals nearly 3,300 aircraft.

Conclusion

Hawaiian Airlines’ membership in oneworld is good news for Canadian travelers who collect points within the oneworld ecosystem. The new routes to the South Pacific (Tahiti, Cook Islands, Samoa) open up unprecedented points redemption opportunities. oneworld status benefits now apply to Hawaiian Airlines’ 230 daily flights.

However, the availability of reward seats to Hawaii will remain a challenge. Plan for flexibility and book early.

Additional cardholders(s) (co-applicant and authorized user(s)) on the Eligible Credit Card account, as well as existing cardholders on any RBC Royal Bank personal credit card account transferring to an Eligible Credit Card account during the Offer Period, are not eligible for the offer.

35,000 welcome Avion points (“Welcome Points”) will appear on your monthly credit card statement within sixty (60) days after your application has been approved, provided that your Eligible Credit Card account remains open and in good standing at the time the Welcome points are credited to your account, “good standing” meaning that your Eligible Credit Card account must not be past due for more than two (2) consecutive credit card account statement periods, closed, charged off or in credit revoked status.

Qualifying Transactions exclude cash advances (including balance transfers, cash-like transactions and bill payments that are not pre-authorized charges that you set up with a merchant), interest charges and fees. Credits for returns and adjustments posted to your Eligible Credit Card account during the Period will reduce the amount of your Qualifying Transactions. The Qualifying Transaction Amount is based on the transaction posting date of each Qualifying Transaction, not the transaction date.
