Sometimes, you just want the convenience. No lines, no waiting: Just check yourself in and head for security clearance and the departure gate. Our self-service check-in kiosks are for you.

What You'll Need to Use the Kiosk
We promise; it’s quick and painless. In order to start, you’ll need one of the following:

- Any valid credit or debit card in your name
- Your HawaiianMiles account number on the reservation
- OR, a boarding pass generated from a web check-in within 24 hours of departure.
What to do
Once you arrive at the airport, go to any self-service kiosk machine located in the check-in lobby of most airports serviced by Hawaiian Airlines and start the check-in process by following the below steps:
- Enter your confirmation code or E-ticket or HawaiianMiles number, or swipe a credit or debit card to search by name
- Follow prompts which will allow you to:
- Select the number of check-in baggage
- Assign, change or upgrade your seat
- Add your HawaiianMiles number to your reservation
- Purchase The Plumeria Lounge Pass

If for some reason self-service check-in isn’t working for you, please see an Airport Customer Service agent at the kiosks or check-in counter for further assistance.
Friendly reminder:
If you’re leaving Hawaii bound for North America from any city besides Honolulu, and you have check-in baggage, don’t forget to pass it through the required agricultural inspection before using a Kiosk. The Honolulu International Airport (HNL) is set up to inspect your baggage after you’ve completed check-in on the kiosk.
