HAWAIIAN
AIRLINES has reached an agreement with Continental
Airlines that allows members of Hawaiian's frequent-flyer program
to earn and redeem miles when they fly Continental anywhere in the
U.S. The mileage-earning benefit is part of a new code-sharing
agreement between Hawaiian and Continental. The agreement also
allows members of Continental's frequent-flyer program to earn 500
miles for every interisland flight on Hawaiian. In addition to
enhanced frequent-flyer benefits, the new program allows Hawaiian
to offer its customers one-stop service between Honolulu and
Cleveland, with Continental providing the connections to Cleveland
from Hawaiian's gateways in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Francisco
and Phoenix.
