I was looking into a cruise to Tahiti; it was mentioned that the flight to Papette was on Hawaiian Airlines.

I can't find this route anywhere, so I am guessing that it is a charter. And, I assume that means no miles with Hawaiian or any partner? Anyone know?

HA flies scheduled service HNL/Papeete, with a stop in Pagopago, I believe. Flights earn either Hwn Miles or WorldPerks.

This flight is represented as a non-stop from LAX-Papette.

According to http://www.hawaiianair.com/ they fly this route to/from HNL, but I don't think it goes every day. The site lists some 800 phone no for HA, so why not give them a call.

If you're looking at a Renaissance cruise out of Papeete, they run chartered Hawaiian flights out of LAX. These are specially configured Renaissance-only flights; you won't find them on Hawaiian's schedule. And you don't, unfortunately, get FF miles.

Thanks, jAAck, that is what I suspected.
