I ask because I used it for a reservation, thinking it was a Hawaiian Airlines code. I was surprised when I had to call to make a change to the reservation and was asked by the reservations agent if the person renting the car was with the federal government. Coincidentally, it just so happens that this reservation WAS for someone who was on official government business, but I was surprised how the agent knew this. I asked the agent, and he responded that this discount code is a federal government code.
1) I started here
http://www.hawaiianairlines.com/
2) Hovered over "Book Travel" at the top of the page and clicked on Car Rentals which took me
here.
3) Scrolled down to Avis/
Find Avis Specials. (<<K816401 is part of the link!)
4) Which took me to avis.com with K816401 pre-filled into the AWD field on the main booking page. (<< because K816401 was part of the link)
Maybe..... you transposed 2 numbers in your reservation.... the agent was looking at the wrong reservation... the agent fat-fingered the code when cross-referencing it with T&C... ???
I'm not saying these any of these things happened but you asked where the info came from that K816401 was for Hawaiian Airlines. This is where I got it.
