The number of HawaiianMiles required to upgrade to first class varies depending on the flight route and the type of award available (Saver or Flex). These mileage requirements are for one-way flight awards.

Upgrading to first or business class on Hawaiian Airlines flights requires a specific number of HawaiianMiles, which differs based on the origin and destination, as well as the fare class you are upgrading from. Generally, there are two categories for mileage upgrades: Saver and Flex, with Flex requiring more miles but potentially offering more availability.
