Anyone know which FF program will let me great an HA fare booked into G (off Expedia)? It looks like UA and CO won't take it. Anyone know who will?
(FWIW, booking straight off HA.com would have gotten me an L fare, which also seems to be non grata on both UA and CO :( )

If it's an interisland flight, NW will take it http://www.nwa.com/worldperks/earn/air_partner.shtml#hawaiian

Ahh, great. I guess I'm opening a Delta/NWA account for this :D Off to find new signup bonuses...

FWIW, I don't think Delta allows G class to credit to its accounts...

I thought Delta = NWA, is that not the case?

Depends on when your flight is. NW and DL through October have separate frequent flyer programs. So until the end of the month, when NW and DL accounts are merged, you can still credit a G fare to NW. After that, unless DL changes the earning structure, you can't.

Boo :( My flight is in December. I guess I will hold off on registering until I confirm that Delta will take it. Are there any other programs that will accept it?
Is it even worth opening an HA account for this one flight? I see in some places that "miles never expire" and in other places "inactive accounts are closed after 3 years." How does one reconcile that?
