Key policies
Baggage allowance
During its operational years, Aloha Airlines allowed passengers one standard carry-on and a personal item free of charge. Checked baggage policies followed standard legacy carrier allowances of the era, with enhanced weight limits and free checked bags for First Class passengers and Ali'i Club members.
Change policy
As a historical carrier that ceased operations in 2008, active bookings and flight changes are no longer applicable. Historically, Aloha offered highly flexible same-day standby options tailored for inter-island commuters, alongside standard change fee policies for its transpacific mainland flights.
Check-in
Aloha Airlines was famous for its innovative drive-through check-in service at Honolulu International Airport, allowing travelers to conveniently drop off luggage and receive boarding passes directly from their vehicles before proceeding to security.
