Alright, award travel aficionados, time to say "Aloha" to HawaiianMiles, because it's officially no more! As of October, Hawaiian Airlines' loyalty program has merged with Alaska Airlines' to become Atmos Rewards. Think of it as two tropical islands finally joining forces.

So, what does this mean for you? Well, along with the merger comes a brand-new award chart for flights on both Alaska and Hawaiian. Award charts are like price lists for using your points – they tell you how many points you need to book a specific flight. Keep an eye on the new chart, as you might find some sweet spots or, unfortunately, some price increases depending on your routes.

It's always a good idea to check out the changes to see how they affect your travel plans. Whether you were hoarding HawaiianMiles or are just starting to explore travel rewards, understanding this shift will help you maximize your points and snag those dream vacations!
