transfering miles
 

can i transfer miles from my United account into Aloha so i can purchase free airline tickets using miles?

Welcome to Flyertalk. . .

Check out the Webflyer tool Mileage Converter for these type of questions.

Just an FYI but the converter doesn't list AlohaPass on there. As for the OPers question, my inclination is that you cannot transfer between these two but that you can earn AlohaPass miles on United flights and vice versa.

No you cannot transfer between the two.

You can use UA miles for partner awards on Aloha, either interisland RT for 5K miles or 35K/60K miles RT for Hawaii-west coast Y/F flights.

I don't *think* you can earn Aloha Pass miles on United flights, although you can earn United miles on Aloha flights (but, fyi, save your boarding pass stubs because odds are you will need them to pester UA about getting credit since Aloha's FF accounting is so bad)

And I thought the converter was comprehensive. ;)

It took a few minutes before I thought to check to see if Aloha was included, and it wasn't. You beat me to it.

I'm pretty sure that is because nothing converts to or from AQ.

Would enjoy being proven wrong though :)
