After TSA · near Wiki Wiki
A serene, island-inspired space with local food and drinks, comfortable seating, and a calm environment before long-haul flights. Better than the Premier Club but not as impressive as the international airline lounges. The most accessible Hawaiian Airlines lounge for local travelers.
The Plumeria Lounge stopped accepting Priority Pass members on April 1, 2025. The replacement options: as of 2025, both the Premier Club (Terminal 1, near Gate A18) and the IASS Hawaii Lounge (Terminal 2, near Gate 14) accept Priority Pass. Neither is on par with Plumeria — both are basic — but they work as fallbacks for Priority Pass cardholders.
Near inter-island gates
A modest lounge experience — snacks, beverages, Hawaiian coffee, and comfortable seating. Often noted for being simple and sometimes crowded. As of 2025, Priority Pass is now accepted here, making it a more convenient PP option than IASS if you're flying out of Terminal 1. Honest take: neither this lounge nor IASS is great — both are basic. If you have access to the Plumeria or another premium lounge, go there instead.
Consistently the highest-rated lounge at HNL. Adorned with Hawaiian motifs and Japanese design, the ANA lounges offer both Japanese and Western cuisine, a relaxing atmosphere, and exceptional service. The Suite Lounge is one of the few true premium lounge experiences at HNL.
Transfer Amex Membership Rewards to ANA Mileage Club (1:1) and book ANA Business Class HNL → NRT — you'll get ANA Lounge access automatically. One of the best redemptions in points travel, and the lounge at HNL is part of the experience.
A stylish lounge with a range of dining options, comfortable seating areas, and attentive service. One of the better overall lounge experiences at HNL outside of ANA.
A serene environment with Japanese and Western cuisine, relaxation spaces, and excellent service. One of the most peaceful lounge experiences at HNL — very popular with Japan-bound travelers.
Book JAL Business Class using Bilt points (1:1 transfer to JAL Mileage Bank) or Capital One miles (with the 30% transfer bonus active through April 30, 2026). Sakura Lounge access is included automatically.
A modern lounge with Hawaiian artwork, snacks, beverages, and comfortable seating. Often praised for its food — frequently called the best food at HNL. Small footprint, though, so it fills up fast on busy Sunday red-eyes.
Delta's lease for a brand new Sky Club at HNL was approved March 27, 2026 — ~12,280 sq ft adjacent to Gate F2 across four rooms in Buildings 341 and 363, with an $8M minimum build-out and a 10-year lease. Estimated opening late 2027–mid 2028. Look for the ✦ marker near F2 on the map above.
A comfortable lounge with ample seating, tarmac views through large windows, complimentary snacks, and business amenities. A solid option for United flyers or Star Alliance Gold members.
Above The Local @HNL
A comfortable lounge with complimentary snacks, beverages, Wi-Fi, and business services. A quiet atmosphere and friendly staff make it a solid choice for American Airlines flyers from HNL.
Ground level via Garden Court
A Priority Pass-accepting lounge at HNL — one of two PP options now (the Premier Club in Terminal 1 also accepts PP as of 2025). It is basic — light snacks, beverages, Wi-Fi, and reading materials. Convenient if you're flying out of Terminal 2. Honest take: neither IASS nor the Premier Club is impressive. Treat them as functional fallbacks, not destinations.
A comfortable lounge providing snacks, beverages, Wi-Fi, and reading materials. Primarily serves Korean Air passengers traveling through HNL on transpacific routes.
Tucked into main concourse
A small, hidden gem of a lounge tucked into Terminal 2 — exclusive to guests staying at Four Seasons Resort Lanai or Sensei Lanai. Comfortable seating in oversized chairs and intimate alcoves, complimentary cocktails, juices, and light snacks, Wi-Fi, and a quiet, polished atmosphere. The lounge staff can complete your resort room registration and book island activities — spa, dining, ATV tours — while you wait for your flight to Lanai. One of the most polished lounge experiences at HNL.
Four Seasons recently launched a separate Lanai Air Lounge at 100 Kaulele Place for guests using their new private charter service between HNL and Lanai. Pilatus PC-12 and Cessna SkyCourier aircraft, complimentary with select resort stays. Note: that facility is off-airport — guests are met at baggage claim and transported there. The in-terminal lounge above is what most Four Seasons guests use for commercial-flight connections.
Ground level
A small, serene resort-operated lounge overlooking the airport's Japanese Cultural Garden. Quiet, calm, and a genuinely nice pre-flight reset — but the amenities are limited to water, coffee, restrooms, and seating. No food, no alcohol. Access is exclusive to guests staying at four Ko Olina resorts, and advance reservations are required.
You must be a confirmed guest at one of the four Ko Olina partner resorts to access this lounge, and a reservation through the lounge's website is required before arrival. No walk-ins, no day-passes, no credit card workaround.
HNL is about to get a serious upgrade.
Right now, the honest truth: ANA and JAL are excellent, Qantas and Delta are solid, and everything else ranges from adequate to disappointing. The Plumeria dropping Priority Pass was a real setback for casual travelers — though as of 2025, both the Premier Club and IASS now accept PP. Two basic options instead of one. Neither is great, but at least you have a choice based on which terminal you're flying out of.
But three new lounges — Delta, Alaska, and Southwest — are now under approved leases, all bigger than what is here today. Southwest opening its first-ever lounge anywhere in the world at HNL says a lot about how much they value the Hawaii market. And the new Alaska Premium Lounge will be five times larger than the current Plumeria when it opens in 2027–2028.
For now: if you are flying ANA or JAL to Japan in Business Class, the lounges at HNL are genuinely part of the experience worth looking forward to. If you are on a domestic flight, your Priority Pass card now gets you into either Premier Club (T1) or IASS (T2). Pick by gate. Both are fine for a snack and a quiet seat, but neither replaces what Plumeria used to offer. The real upgrade comes when the new Alaska/Hawaiian Premium Lounge opens in 2027–2028.
