Alaska Airlines is moving to standardize its booking system across its Alaska and Hawaiian brands as a final integration of the two carriers draws nearer.
In a statement released Thursday, Alaska said it will align cabin and seat names for Alaska and Hawaiian to “take the guesswork out of flying.”
As of April 22, 2026, seating will be organized into First Class, Premium Class (which will include Hawaiian’s Extra Comfort seats), Main Cabin Preferred, Main Cabin, and Saver Fare. A lie-flat First and Business Class are available on flights operated using a Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A330 or an Alaska Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
First Class on the 787 comes with enclosed suites with direct aisle access, Alaska noted.
Lie-flat cabin passengers also have access to the network of Alaska Lounges, the Plumeria Lounge in Honolulu, and select partner locations through Alaska’s oneworld and global partners.
Premium Class gives customers four inches of extra legroom and some added perks, including complimentary cocktails, beer and wine. Alaska first introduced the Premium option in its own fleet in 2017.
Hawaiian’s Main Cabin Basic option will transition to Saver Fare next year.
The changes will be reflected in bookings starting Oct. 14 for flights departing on or after April 22, 2026.
Alaska and Hawaiian are working to obtain a single operating certificate from the FAA, which would allow the two airlines to complete their merger and consolidate operations. Later this month, Alaska plans to start renumbering Hawaiian flights under new Alaska-style ranges.
