Airline ESA Letter Policy – Hawaiian Airlines (2025 Guide)
Hawaiian Airlines treats ESAs as pets and follows DOT’s rule change from 2021. ESAs must comply with all pet requirements.
Hawaiian Pet Travel Policy:
- Small dogs and cats allowed in-cabin
- Pet fee: $35 (inter-island), $125 (North America)
- Additional requirements apply for flights to/from Hawaii due to quarantine laws
Final Thoughts: ESA letters do not waive pet fees or restrictions on Hawaiian Airlines. For current pet travel guidelines, visit: https://www.hawaiianairlines.com/our-services/special-assistance/traveling-with-animals.
