Aloha Around the World: Celebrate Lei Day and win a trip for two to Hawaiʻi 

Aloha Around the World Tokyo Hawaiian Airlines

Sharing aloha is more than a greeting — it’s a feeling, a connection and a way of welcoming new chapters. This Lei Day, Hawaiian Airlines is sharing that spirit far beyond the Islands with Aloha Around the World, a global celebration marking an exciting new chapter for Hawaiʻi’s carrier.

To celebrate its recent entry into the oneworld® alliance, Hawaiian is inviting its guests to enter for a chance to win an unforgettable trip for two to Hawaiʻi, or anywhere it and Alaska Airlines fly.

From iconic city centers to our home airports in Hawaiʻi, the carrier is spreading aloha one lei at a time — connecting people, places and cultures through the warmth of its island hospitality.
