One of the major elements of the program is a new award structure that gives members of HawaiianMiles three mileage redemption categories to choose from: supersaver, saver and anytime. Members also have the ability to redeem miles on a one-way basis.

The award structure for transpacific flights (one way) is as follows: supersaver, 17,500 miles; saver, 25,000 miles; anytime, 35,000 miles. For interisland flights (one way), the award structure is as follows: supersaver, 5,000 miles; saver, 7,500 miles; anytime, 10,000 miles.

HawaiianMiles members can mix and match one-way awards for any available seat on any scheduled flight. For example, if members have enough miles for a free one-way flight, but not enough for the entire trip, they can use their one-way award to reduce the roundtrip cost.

Hilton to rebrand Grand Wailea Resort under Waldorf-Astoria name

The Waldorf-Astoria — the legendary Manhattan hotel where Ginger Rogers danced under the stars in the 1945 film "Weekend at the Waldorf" — is branching out. Hilton Hotels, which has owned the Waldorf since 1949, is scheduled to announce today it will launch a chain of luxury hotels under the Waldorf-Astoria brand.

Starting Feb. 1, Hilton will re-brand three well-known U.S. resorts for which it won management rights this year: the Grand Wailea Resort on Maui; the Arizona Biltmore Resort in Phoenix; and La Quinta Resort near Palm Springs, Calif.

The new brand will include business hotels and resorts worldwide and match or exceed the chain's current luxury leaders — Hiltons and Conrads — for its level of amenities.
