'''Change and cancellation fees'''. On regular tickets, fees are waived on all flights. You won't get this benefit when you book a basic economy ticket. However, with Hawaiian, if the new ticket is cheaper, you won't receive a credit for the difference. If you want to rebook for a cheaper fare, you would need to save the full price of the initial ticket as a future credit and pay out-of-pocket for the new ticket.
