Hawaiian Airlines is providing a sneak peek of its upcoming premium lounge set to open at Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport at the end of 2027. Inspired by Hawaii’s natural elements, the lounge will feature sculptures, pops of color, and stylish lighting structures to create a relaxing atmosphere. Five times larger than the current lounge in Honolulu, the new space will be located at the entrance of the Mauka Concourse in Terminal 1. Details like access policies and opening timeline will be shared closer to the launch.
Hawaiian currently operates two types of lounges in Honolulu, with different access policies for elite frequent flyers, first-class passengers, and club members. After its recent acquisition of Hawaiian, Alaska Airlines is enhancing its commercial strategy, focusing on premium travel experiences across both carriers, including new airport lounges in Honolulu, Seattle, and San Diego. The new Honolulu lounge is just the beginning, with plans for a flagship international lounge in Seattle and a traditional outpost in San Diego.
“We are reimagining the travel experience with spaces that showcase our dedication to guest satisfaction and the unique culture of Hawai’i. Our new Honolulu lounge will be the first-of-its-kind within this space and will offer a modern oasis for our guests to enjoy,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, Alaska’s vice president of guest products and experience. Stay tuned for more details on what flyers can expect at the San Diego and Seattle lounges as the airlines work towards harmonizing their lounge access policies.
