byAir vs. Alaska Hawaiian

No. Keep Alaska Hawaiian for official actions such as booking, check-in, boarding passes, changes or cancellations, bag payment, meal preorders, wait lists, and Atmos Rewards. byAir complements it with independent flight tracking, multi-airline trip organization, imports, and traveler-focused alerts.

The former Alaska Airlines app became Alaska Hawaiian in spring 2026. It is now the official shared app for travel on Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines, with a choice of visual themes for either brand.

Yes. Add either flight manually, connect Gmail or Outlook, sync a calendar, forward the booking email, or scan a boarding pass or itinerary. The flights then appear alongside partner-operated segments and other carriers in one trip.

On eligible flights, byAir Predict can show a clearly labeled predicted departure time and likely reason before the airline publishes a new official estimate. Coverage varies, not every delay can be predicted, and the airline’s status remains the official one.

Its public feature list describes Atmos Rewards points activity, status progress, and travel on Alaska and Hawaiian, but not a personal statistics dashboard across every carrier. byAir combines completed flights from all airlines and calculates totals for flights, distance, time in the air, airlines, aircraft types, and airports visited.

Use Alaska Hawaiian for the booking, boarding passes, changes, and benefits that its airline systems control. Use byAir to keep partner-operated segments, separate tickets, and other carriers together with independent operational context.

Use Alaska Hawaiian to pay for checked bags, preorder an eligible meal, manage Atmos Rewards, and monitor First Class or Standby wait lists. byAir does not replace those airline systems.
