The Plumeria Lounge, HNL

At a glance

One of two lounges in Terminal 1, and the best-rated of them. A Hawaiian Airlines lounge with a proper place to work, food worth planning a meal around, and proper tarmac views — though seats are scarce at peak and upkeep lets it down. It seats around 100 and pours beer and wine. Hours are 6:30 AM – 10 PM daily. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. Recorded access options include Alaska Lounge (Alaska Lounge and Lounge+ members, up to 2 guests) and oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access (oneworld Sapphire/Emerald on international departures). Entry conditions and availability apply.
