JetBlue has published economy, and business class award charts for redeeming TrueBlue points on Hawaiian Airlines operated flights. While you've been able to redeem TrueBlue points for Hawaiian flights, the price was correlated to the cash cost of the ticket, much like how a JetBlue award is priced, and you'd need to call up get the exact price.
TrueBlue Award Charts for Hawaiian Flights
You'll still need to call JetBlue to complete a booking, 1-800-JETBLUE (538-2583), however, you'll at least know the price and can, in theory, check award availability before calling through a service such as ExpertFlyer. Our assumption is that award space offered up by Hawaiian to their partners will be the same bucket from which that JetBlue will pull.

Business/First Class Award Chart
Our Take
We see this as both a positive and a negative. On one side we like the idea that there is a standard / published award chart where there is potential for outsized value from TrueBlue points. If award space is available, but the cash price of a ticket is unusually high, this could be a big win.
At the same time, the model where the cost of a ticket in points was directly related to the cash price, was consistent to how the TrueBlue program operated with its own flights, and still does.
Hawaiian partners with many airlines, including Korean, so be sure to check out what it'd otherwise cost you with another program before you jump into a boking with JetBlue TrueBlue.

Thanks, Erik.
Is there a chart for the opposite? I have about 10k HawaiianMiles and could use a JB flight.
Hey you can check out the Hawaiian redemption options here: https://www.hawaiianairlines.com/hawaiianmiles2/redeem
Award Chart here: https://hawaiianair.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/2218
Looks like intra island is the only flight under 10k
Great they have award chart. No bargain. IMO best usage of jetblue pts is to Caribbean, Central & South America from NYC direct.
I recently redeemed 2 R/T award tickets on HAL. The Flights were only 35K each. the jet blue offer is nor a great deal. Below is part of my HAL Statement. Also notice I redeemed HAL miles for $50 for 2 gift cards for the Foodland Supermarket in Hawaii.

Hawaii to international is a good value.
Hawaiian lie flat seats are very comfortable
I just might have to book this.
Is it possible to use Chase points on Hawaiian Airlines from Oahu to the big island? Looking for 3/8 to return to Oahu 3/12
Sure, you can book it directly through the Ultimate Rewards travel portal.
Interesting, thanks.
thanks for the info
I want to explore the islands so I’m glad there’s an option for inter island flights. I understand those can be quite expensive. I like JetBlue but they don’t fly near my home airport. Points that don’t expire and earnings through Amazon still make their points worth accumulating. Using them in Hawaiiwould be great.
You’re right about inter-island flights being expensive!
In the only supervisors could book awards I hope that changes too.
Your comment about checking with other airlines is spot on. I usually forget to take the additional step of checking other frequent flyer programs when booking an award ticket. When I do, even if no benefit is gained, I feel better about the value I am receiving. Thanks.
i like this way actually
Some attractive values there!
I’m definitely on the lookout for ways to use points to get from Las Vegas to Hawaii, so this opens up a strong new option, especially when paired with JetBlue’s Amazon portal.
Time for me to sign up for another credit card I think
Good to know. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for the info! This is great.
Considering vacationing in Hawaii always holds strong appeal for me, I love seeing another option regarding how to get there.
Is Chicago an East Coast city?
I don’t know, but Hawaiian doesn’t fly from Chicago — moot point?
thanks for the info
I actually was researching this earlier this week. If there is an award chart, it’s new. Before, price of flights was loosely correlated with points.
I believe that the points correlated with the cost of the ticket is similar to using Hawaiian miles for Jet Blue flights.
no sweet spots here if that is the case.
