The cheapest fare is not showing on HA's website, so he'd like to book via the AS website, and use his HA credit card to pay for it. Will he get 2 free checked bags, as per the HA card's perk? Anyone have experience with this?
While I have not used this benefit due to my already elite status, my reading is that it does.
The Hawaiian Airlines® World Elite Mastercard® primary cardmember is eligible to receive 2 free checked bags on eligible Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines operated flights ("Free Checked Bag Benefit"). The primary cardmember must book the Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines operated flights with their Hawaiian Airlines®World Elite Mastercard® to receive the Free Checked Bag Benefit. Authorized Users of the primary cardmember do not qualify for the Free Checked Bag Benefit.
