    Poke bar
    Craig T.

    Update on The plumeria lounge looks like they added new items from the last time I was there . Now there's a poke bar you can add your on ingredients. Of course one hot dish today it was sweet sour pork it was pretty good . My favorite automatic pancake machine I've been to several lounges and pretty much they all have this machine and it's actually the best pancake I ever had lol

    Crowded, old, with limited food options. Definitely something to pass up on. You get assigned seats and sometimes put on a waitlist when the lounge is at capacity. The comfy seats are reserved for international first class passengers only. It's also self service. And nothing can go out of the lounge. The staff is definitely trying their best to manage this mess... but they can only do so much when the place is so poorly designed.

    Fresh pancakes with coconut syrup!

    The aloha comes in waves at this lounge at HNL close to the A Gates. I had a relatively long layover to Asia, and as either a Platinum member traveling internationally or traveling business/first you have access to this lounge. Breakfast - pancake maker and also can get fruit and cereal. The pancakes were excellent, put some fruit and the coconut syrup on them for an awesome combo! Lunch - poke bowl and salad bar with the freshest ingredients as well as some hot food and soup. The local produce also allows you to have an awesome salad and try out that papaya dressing! I wasn't too keen on their hot food offerings but there's so much other selection you'll still get your fill without it! Beer and wine available along with soda and coffee. The employees are just like your Ohana, so so helpful and kind, makes any stopover feel like a little holiday. The lounge environment is casual, nothing fancy but tables and chairs and a few TVs. The aloha is everywhere though which is the best!

    I finally got to experience an airport lounge using a pass I got from my Alaska airlines card. I'm still super confused on how this works, cause the lounge is listed on the Alaska website but the lounge normally gets a pass and not the code that the credit card site provided. But either way, I got in before an early morning flight so it was nice and empty. I wasn't sure if anything would be available since it was so early, but I was happily surprised - got fresh fruit and coconut and maple syrup over pancakes, local honey and granola topped with sweet fruit, fried rice and scrambled eggs, cereal bowls, and a few espresso cups. Didn't get to try the alcohol cause it was a work trip, but was impressed with the options! Bathrooms were large and clean, and overall a wonderful place to visit before going on a Hawaiian airlines flight.

    Located on the third floor up the escalators. Check at the front desk.. and have your way at hot food, salads, seared fish... deserts. Pancake maker. And drinks- coffee, tea, soda, beer & wine. Self service for meals. Casual lounge area.

    This is the look of sadness upon buying a first class ticket and experiencing this lounge
    Paul C.

    This is Hawaiian airlines hub. And this lounge is small, over crowded, old and worn. I was surprised. The food selection is poor. I wonder why anyone would pay to get In , but perhaps that's why it's crowded. The wi fi connection requires a series of hyphens and letters, making it super sensitive and just about impossible to use. Forget it, I'll just use cell data Do they not pay for a/c in here? Hot , stuffy with a few ceiling fans As far as first class lounges go, this is the saddest I've ever experienced.

    Food: 4* Service: 3* Ambiance: 3* This is a basic club. I can't wait for the new one to emerge now that Alaska and Hawaiian merged. This is an ok lounge that does the job, it just basic. The food options were good and they even have poke, which was a nice surprise. Not a bad lounge, just out of the way and a little basic.

    Opens at 6:30 a.m.  by 6:53 am pretty full
    Gail U.

    Lounge opens exactly at 6:30 a.m. check in is fast by showing your boarding pass. If status to enter lounge is not on your pass then show your Premier card. Sit anywhere that is not reserved. Good if you haven't had anything to eat before arriving at the airport. It's like a continental breakfast with some snacks. Passengers help bus their own tables. Thankyou Doc for gifting me this card so I can get a bite to eat and not twirling my thumbs for rescheduled flight 4+ hours later.

    No waitlist to join this morning! Quick restroom stop, Yeti fill-up of water. Quick bite to eat, good place to meet friends before heading out for your flight! Don't forget to ask for your Cup Noodle. Remember to join the waitlist during peak travel time. Safe travels! https://www.waitlist.me/w/theplumerialounge

    The perks of having the Priority Pass allows you access into certain airport lounges all of the country and the Plumeria Lounge is one of them! Most times that I have traveled, there wasn't a wait but when it gets very busy, there is a wait list after you check in with the employee at the check-in counter. The employees are always so welcoming and friendly sharing the aloha spirit greeting you when you enter and when leave. When you check in, you show your priority pass card which they scan and they check your ID and boarding pass. The have tables and chairs, bar style seating, and well as lounge chairs with coffee tables available for seating. Most times there is either a sandwich, sliders, and they also have had yakisoba noodles and teriyaki chicken. They always have fruit snacks, bags of pretzels, taro chips (fav), mele macs (fav), and mini chocolate chip cookies available in jars. They also have soft drinks, a machine for ice and water, coffee and cappuccino, ice tea in 4 flavors, wine, beer, and seltzers. Today for food, they had pork sliders with plain and taro rolls, milestone soup, and assorted veggies with ranch dressing. The food was not bad and a great snack before your plane ride. They do also offer wifi and have restrooms for use inside. We enjoy coming to the lounge to relax before our flight and will definitely return.

    Poi rolls with kahlua pork
    Gregg R.

    Located on the upstais floor by the Wiki Wiki shuttle, the Plumeria lounge serves as a serviceable spot to rest before your flight. Although it can get a little crowded in the early afternoon as this this is the only Priority Pass lounge in HNL, the service is great and they do have some snacks and beer and wine available. All service is self service and you are asked to clean up for yourself. Beer and wine are available as well as self service coffee and cappuccinos. A highlight after 10am is the Poi rolls and hot Kahlua Pork. Power outlets are not at all spots, and primarily against the wall by the elevated seats.

    The lounge
    Joanna G.

    The Plumeria lounge is a clean comfortable place to park it and grab a bite and a drink before a flight - no frills, it's self service, but the food was decent and beer, wine and hard seltzer are chilled and available. As an Alaska lounge member I appreciate being able to take advantage of the space. If I had paid for single entry I might feel differently.

    Seared Ahi, sweet onions, green onions, ogo seaweed, furikake and Soy miso dressing
    Orlando P.

    What a wonderful privilege to be able to spend time at The Plumeria Lounge. We were welcomed warmly with an Aloha and a smile. Seats are comfortable. Employees are very conscientious in keeping the Lounge clean and well stocked. Nice selection of breakfast and lunch offerings, and lots of options for drinks, including wine and beer and hard seltzer. The Plumeria Lounge is a great place to relax while you await your time of departure. Free WiFi is available with many power stations and working counters.

We lucked out with seats right in front of where the Honu was parked! I love the convenience of the lounge being right above the departure gates in Terminal 2. (If you flew on Hawaiian Airlines but departing from Terminal 2, you'd have to trek to Terminal 1.) There's a variety of every course: rice, chicken curry, udon, sandwiches, açaí bowl, musubi, drinks, alcohol. Lots of stalls in the clean bathroom, by the kids play area.

There is a separate jet bridge that connects passengers while boarding the upper cabin of ANA's Airbus 380 Aircraft. There is a regular lounge and a Suite lounge both sharing one same entrance. Me and my other half booked premium economy and was first to get to the regular lounge as my cousin and his other half were both booked in business class having access to the suite lounge as well. The regular lounge had a semi-full bar, a full spread of buffet selection, an udon bar, as well as non-alcoholic beverages with a premium coffee maker serving illy brand coffee. This lounge is spacious, seating area is extensive, especially considering that HNL isn't a very large airport. There are mainly three different types of seating; comfy lounge chairs and sofas with coffee tables line the large floor-to-ceiling windows, providing a spectacular views of the tarmac and runway. If you are going to Tokyo Narita on the A380, you'll see the HONU aircraft just outside the window. Many passengers were airplane spotting as the first Honu was taxiing out and taking off. Long benches with communal tables are another seating that also serves as a workstation. The dining space also has AC power as well as USB outlets. There is also restaurant style with round cocktail tables, rectangular dining tables making it a very nice space to enjoy snacks, cocktails, or full meal before the flight. Food servers and ground staff agents are professional, and friendly. The entire lounge is kept sparking clean including the restrooms located just past the children's play area. Table and counters were constantly wiped down, the air conditioning temperature and ambiance is truly a Hawaiian/Japanese environment.

This lounge is simply a quiet place to sit and wait for your flight away from the noisy chatter and overhead announcements at the terminal. They have complimentary wifi and outlets to charge your devices. If you snag a seat by the windows you have a lovely view of the garden. There is no food or alcohol. You are also not allowed to eat any food or snacks you bring into the lounge yourself. They do offer some beverages including coffee, tea, juice, water, and some canned sodas. I actually really enjoyed the yummy guava juice they had available! Overall I would not pay money to enter this lounge. If your credit card perks include a limited number of Priority Pass lounge visits I would skip this one.

It is air-conditioned and is a nice respite away from other portions of the terminal which are open air and can get a little warm depending on the season. We didn't stay very long as the lounge got full very quickly and felt a little crowded so we decided to leave and head to arcade a little early. All in all a nice spot for a quick rest but not somewhere I would find myself staying too long as you are not able to have a private conversation as there is no auditory privacy here. But I do appreciate the cold beverages and a soft, comfy chair.

While the lounge is not positioned as a luxury flagship facility, it performs well as a comfortable and functional retreat from the busy terminal. The lounge is located on the third floor overlooking the concourse, which creates a quieter environment compared to the crowded gate areas below. Seating is arranged across several sections with lounge chairs, work tables, and bar-style seating. During peak departure periods, particularly in the evening when multiple mainland flights depart, the space can become busy but still remains manageable. Food offerings follow the standard United Club buffet format. Guests can expect light hot items, soups, salads, and snack options throughout the day. The quality is simple but fresh and consistently replenished. A self-service bar provides beer, wine, and standard cocktails, with premium beverages available for purchase. Staff maintain the lounge well, clearing tables frequently and keeping buffet stations organized. The overall atmosphere is calm and practical rather than upscale, which aligns with expectations for a domestic airline lounge. Overall, the United Club at HNL delivers a dependable lounge experience.

Ordering was super easy and quick using the QR code to place and pay, which I appreciated. The beermosa itself was refreshing and well done, and I'd absolutely come back just for that. Unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet expectations. The "crispy" pork ended up being more hard than crunchy--so chewy that after one piece my jaw was sore. I thought maybe it was just me, but my friend agreed it was tough as well. The grilled cheese was also a bit surprising. Instead of the classic buttery, crisp bread with melty cheese inside, the cheese was grilled onto the outside and inside, which left the sandwich lacking that satisfying crunch. The fries were tasty, but for a $7 upgrade, I was hoping for a more generous portion than what arrived on the plate. On a positive note, the staff was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and checked on us a few times during our meal, which always makes a difference. Overall, I really wanted to love the food more, but it fell short this time. That said, I'd still consider coming back for another beermosa and hopefully a better kitchen day next time.
