Hawaiian Airlines gave a sneak preview of what its lounge will look like at Honolulu
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL).
The lounge, which is set to open at the end of 2027, is part of the Alaska Air Group’s three-year strategic plan following its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines.
The airline said the lounge’s initial designs are inspired by Hawaii’s rich natural elements, and the space includes sculptural elements, bold pops of color and reflective beams of light.
The lounge will be located at the entrance of the Mauka Concourse in Terminal 1 and will be five times larger than Hawaiian’s existing lounge in Honolulu. Once opened, the lounge will be available to both Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines guests. More details, including final design and guest access, will be shared at a later date.
“We are reimagining the travel experience with spaces that showcase our dedication to guest satisfaction and the unique culture of Hawai‘i,” Todd Traynor-Corey, Vice President of guest products & experience at Alaska Airlines said in a statement.
“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,” Traynor-Corey added.
“Our new Honolulu lounge will be a celebration of our guest’s voyage, thoughtfully crafted to honor the beauty and warmth of our island home,” said Alisa Onishi, Director of Brand and Culture at Hawaiian Airlines.
“This space reinforces our commitment to providing an unrivaled travel experience that reflects the purpose and values of our hometown airline,” Onishi further commented.
