Age Restrictions

There is no minimum age for an infant traveling with an adult on a Hawaiian Airlines flight. Infants under seven (7) days old will require a physician's statement allowing travel. It is recommended that you check with your child's doctor to make sure your infant should be traveling by airplane. For the purpose of travel on Hawaiian Airlines, children are no longer considered infants on the day of their 2nd birthday.



A seat must be purchased for infants traveling in a child restraint seat. Infants traveling as a lap child (sharing seat with an adult) may bring a child restraint seat on board if:

1. there is an empty seat available for the infant and
2. the car seat bears the following two required labels:
• This restraint system conforms to all applicable federal motor vehicle safety conditions.
• This restraint is certified for use in motor vehicles and aircraft. (in red lettering) (NOTE: Labels that indicate U.S. or Foreign Government approval or show the seat was manufactured under the standards of the United Nations are also valid.)

Any other child booster seats and other types of child restraints may not be used during take-off, landing, and surface movements regardless of what stamp/seal of approval these booster or harness devices carry.

If the flight is full, the car seat will be checked at the gate using a claim-at-gate tag. The car seat will be returned to the passenger at the gate upon arrival.



If a seat is not purchased for an infant, no carry-on or checked baggage allowances apply.

An adult traveling with a lap child may check the infant's child restraint seat and/or stroller. These items may be checked at the gate using a claim-at-gate tag, if preferred.



Customers traveling with infants as a lap child may bring a child restraint car seat onboard if there is an empty seat available for the infant and the car seat is appropriately labeled (see Car Seats section above).

A lap child is not eligible for meals.

As the lap child will be sitting on the lap of the accompanying adult, seats cannot be reserved for the infant. Only one lap infant is permitted on either side of the aisle in the same row. Passengers traveling with a lap infant must be seated in the center section (seats C, E and G only) of the aircraft for Trans-Pacific and South-Pacific flights. Inter-Island passengers traveling with a lap infant are allowed one infant per seat grouping (i.e., one in the A, B seat grouping and one in the D, E, F seat grouping) per row. Exit row seating is prohibited for any passengers traveling with Infants.



Only one lap child is permitted as a lap child, free of charge, for each ticketed adult. An adult traveling with two infants may only travel with one lap child. An additional seat must be purchased for the second infant.



Infants traveling with their own ticket are required to have a child restraint seat onboard (See Car Seats section above). Customers traveling with infants should always be pre-assigned seats together. If possible, the infant should be seated next to the window to allow clear access to the aisle for all passengers.

Ticket Type Fare Infant on Lap-Domestic: Free Infant on Lap- International: % of Adult Fare* Infant Seat purchase-Domestic: Full Adult Fare** Infant Seat purchase-International: Child Fare** Child 2 or older-Domestic: Full Adult Fare Child 2 or older- International: Child Fare

Note: No taxes are applicable on domestic flights for lap children. All standard taxes are applicable on infant fares.

* Lap infants traveling to an international destination will be ticketed at 10% of the accompanying adult's fare. Lap infants traveling to Pago Pago, American Samoa, will be charged all applicable taxes. This does not guarantee them a seat. Infants can travel on domestic flights as lap children for free (limit one lap child per accompanying adult). If there is an empty seat available on that flight, the infant may occupy that seat for no extra charge.

** Adult must be traveling on a Hawaiian Airlines purchased published fare. A maximum of 2 infant tickets may be purchased per traveling adult. Infants with their own purchased seat must also use an approved child restraint seat. A seat purchased for an infant to a Domestic destination will be charged the full Adult fare. For infant seats purchased to an international destination including Pago Pago, American Samoa, a Child fare will be charged.



If a child turns two en route, a ticket must be purchased for all segments on which the child will be two. Proof of age may be required if the child appears to be age two or older.
