Hawaiian Airlines

[Viridis]

Setting up FF accounts for Mrs V and myself.

The website seems incredibly 'clunky' and unstable. Has anyone had any experience redeeming miles for a trip? Any difficulties?

We expect to be travelling separately. Most of the points are in my name. Is it possible for me to book a flight in my wife's name using my points?

Any info greatly appreciated

Possible - but not worthwhile - it seems

Anyone without the requisite HA credit cards pays the transfer fee - notwithstanding that those of us outside the USA are ineligible for the card. Seems like a stitch-up to me but it’s only them or QF to HNL
