Since we were flying first class on Hawaiian Airlines, we were allowed the privilege to visit The Plumeria Lounge located on the third floor of Terminal One. There you can relax while waiting for your flight. Enjoy having a glass of wine or some beer. Quick meals and snacks are available including fresh fruit and island inspired small entrees. This place does get crowded. The facilities are well maintained and clean. This lounge is open to Hawaiian Airlines first class passengers and top tiered frequent fliers. Check the qualifications before attempting to enter this place. read more

Decided to grab a day pass for the Plumeria lounge as I had a few hours before my flight, and it was peaceful and queit with plenty of food, snacks, and drinks (including alcohol). I was surprised by how much space there was and how few people were occupying the space. I had some coffee, some sausage and chicken gumbo, some chips, and a canned Heineken while doing some work on my laptop. Such a great pre-flight experience. Highly recommend if you have some extra time before your flight and want to spend it comfortably. read more

The Plumeria lounge is great... IF you've never been to any other airport lounge before in your life. It's ok for what it is and better than sitting in a crowded terminal with no free food at all. And ok for being in a dingy airport in Honolulu. However, compared to other airport lounges across the world... this is a joke. Food selection is very limited to small pupus and amenities are also limited. So, if you are expecting a full buffet, lounge chairs, sleep pods, full bar, and showers... you will be very disappointed because there is absolutely none of that. Also, the lounge itself is rather small. There is often a wait just to enter and with limited bench seating outside the lounge, there are sometimes a bunch of people standing around. The staff... they are nice, just not the friendliest compared to other major airline staff. For a local airline in HAWAII, I would think the "Aloha" standard would be on point. read more

Shift staff very friendly & hardworking! Drinks & food well-stocked. Everything looked fresh and hasn't been sitting. Bathroom clean. Good crew today! Thank you! read more

Food here is mediocre. The best thing they make is the spicy sausage chicken gumbo. The dressings for mixed greens is good. They have sliced eggs, carrots, tomatoes, etc for the salads and fried won ton skin. There is help yourself wine, machine coffee. We've been here before. Not the best nor the worse lounge we've been in. read more

The Plumeria Lounge - Sausage chicken gumbo is very good - Airport Lounges Near Me - Honolulu, Hawaii

It is part of Hawaii airline for bussiness, first classes and loyalty programa. They no longer accept Priority Pass program. The lounge is small but clean, comfortable and well stocked. We were flying out on a Tuesday red-eye flight so it is not packed. Free wifi Plenty seatings and charging stations Clean bathroom (no shower though) Food: rice with miso-braised pork, soups (chicken gumbo or tomato basil), salad bars a, pancake station with blue berry and strawberries, and a poke bar (c'mon even poke bar!) Drinks: coffee machine, hot chocolate, soft drinks, tea, wine and beers. Poke bar is very fresh, with tuna, dry seaweeds, green and white onion and several dressing (ginger shoyu, Hawaiian spicy, etc.) Staff is constantly cleaning and replenish items. Staff also contacted transport for older passengers. Hope I can get to use this lounge again in future. read more

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 .

This is a small lounge located in Terminal 1 on the 3rd level. There are adequate food and drink options that are self service. No full bar available, but there are a couple of wine and beer choices. I especially enjoyed the make your own salad/ poke bowl bar. Clean restrooms are located in the rear. No showers. Airport shuttle service is located directly outside the lounge entrance making it convenient to travel to the other terminals with ease. read more

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. read more

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! read more

This has to be one of the worst lounges I have been to. Not worth it for crappy food and a few drinks. Front desk very standoffish like they are doing you a favor. read more

Okay, I was able to come here because I upgraded my seat for my flight home. This time, it wasn't crowded at all! I could actually sit anywhere I wanted except the very front area which was reserved. Grabbed a counter seat, and then went to see what they had. Me: Eh, you pouring? He: Yes bruddah, you like? Me: We should just take the bottle, where you sitting? He: Chee Ho! We'd get kicked out! Local guy was funny! The wine wasn't bad. At the buffet, I grabbed some of the sweet and sour spareribs and some mixed berries. I also took the lilikoi cheesecake and a chocolate cookie. The spareribs were boneless and really good! I liked the cheesecake. I felt the cookie was a little dry but drinking the red wine with it was good! The staff was really friendly. I think when it's not busy, it's a pleasant experience. But when it's busy, like my first time, it's not so great. Mahalo Hawaiian! read more

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. read more

Is this the best lounge for business/first class? Far from it. But is it a decent lounge for pre-flight? Yes. The food that was available was pretty good - 3.5/5. The missing 1.5 is for a smaller selection than most premium lounges. Their miso braised pork was stand-out and their lilikoi cheesecake bar was delicious. Most of their produce/fruit offerings were local and fresh - can't say that about every lounge I've been to. Staff were continually refilling the stations. Drink selection is quite bare - 1 hard seltzer and 2 beers, a few different wines (I didn't check). No spirits, which other self-serve lounges even have. They make it a point to tell you that everything is self-service, including bussing your own plates and dishes. As such, some guests still leave their dishes and trash behind and it really doesn't seem like anyone is paying attention, so tables can stay full for a while. There are very limited big/full tables with outlets nearby, so I ended up bussing someone else's dishes myself to use the table for our party. Everything seemed clean, including bathrooms. Someone is also regularly cleaning it. Wifi wasn't strong enough for me to download anything off Netflix, which was strange, but maybe it was just me. All in all, this would be a 3.5/5 lounge experience, but still glad to have it. read more

It's always nice to have lounge access at the airport, but the Plumeria Lounge is only a couple steps up from sitting at a gate. The atmosphere is similarly bland and busy, but it's probably worth a stop if you have some time to kill and want something to eat or drink. I hung out there with my friend Nick L. and had a Diet Coke from the soda fountain, passing on the beer and wine, which were readily available. There was food too, though not a huge selection. I saw some miso pork in a warming tray and a poke bar that did not inspire confidence. The time passed easily enough, and it was better than sitting at our gate the whole time. If you want more than that, though, you're unlikely to be impressed by the Plumeria Lounge. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Probably one of the worst lounges I've been in. My favorite part was the attendant telling me I needed to go back to the premier lounge that told me to go to this, the plumeria lounge. The seats are all uncomfortable. The air conditioning seems to be non existent and the food is very lacking. The Alaska air lounges are so much better than this. I can't say I'll ever waste my steps coming here again. Oh service doesn't exist in this lounge either, it's completely self service. One of the sinks in the women's restroom is clogged and not functioning and there's water everywhere on the floor. read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is really a sad lounge. Very small, packed with people, hot, and incredibly basic snack offerings.

The breakfast service provided oatmeal, pancakes, hard-boiled eggs, and fruit, which did not meet the expected business or first-class quality. The food was cold and tasted old. The San Francisco lounge was impressive in comparison. read more

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.

We visited the Plumeria Lounge on a Tuesday morning at about 11:15 am. There was no line and we were lucky enough to check in and be seated immediately. The lounge was crowded, but everyone seemed to be comfortable and happy. The standard food and drink options were available to include, hot soups, kalua pork sliders, coleslaw, mixed veggies tray, Tillamook cheese, milk, orange juice, soft drinks, beer and wine. I'm thankful for any complimentary food and drink I can get, especially with the soaring cost of airport food these days. The lounge gives you a place of refuge before you head out to the busy and noisy airport gates. The Hawaiian Airlines staff here were welcoming and friendly and kept the lounge running smoothly. Overall I enjoyed my visit today and I hope that Hawaiian Airlines will someday expand the lounge size in the future to accommodate the growing number of passengers who access the lounge. Mahalo! read more

Truly awful customer service, particularly from Fay. Lounge was not properly stocked. Overall a dismal experience.

Nice comfortable venue for those able eligible to come in, you have to be a hawaiian airlines member with this level of perks. Simple food choices, small kind snacks, cut fruit, assorted danishes, a 10 choice coffee machine, chilled wine and fountain soda. Even had hard boiled eggs and cold cereal. All slightly more than just snacks but not even a continental breakfast you'll find in a hotel. No hot food and sadly almost impressed. Service was fine though there was a short line to come in as a couple in front had trouble and it took some time for the one lady to deal with them. Would I come back, prob not cause I may not qualify for this privilege, so I'll stick with the premium club venue. read more

Clean...but crowded and a little warm (maybe cause of all the people). Food was good. They had chicken gumbo which was very tasty. They also had miso pork with white rice. Miso pork was tender and well seasoned. Maui Blonde beers went well with everything. And...they now have a fruit and salad bar which included a poke section. Cubed ahi can be mixed with your toppings and mixed with a sauce. WOW! Pretty good experience. Thought it would be less crowded now that Priority Pass is not allowed in. read more

Had a chance to stop by the Plumeria Lounge when I was flying back from Oahu to SFO and this was a nice experience. We ended up going around the morning time around 9ish, and there were lots of couches and seats open which was nice. We logged on to the WiFi and were able to check out the continental breakfast. Let me tell you the breakfast is not good , it's cereal, some pastries, coffee/juice types of stuff but nothing hot which is my type of foods. Around 10AM, they start the lunch service where they brought out normal and taro buns, kalua pork, coleslaw and bbq sauce. You turn these into sliders and it's absolutely perfect and so delicious. I also got a side of minestrone soup - this was okay, but I liked that it was warm. Overall for the lunch service I enjoyed it a lot, and even though it was less variety, it was really good. We left with a happy heart and a full stomach! read more

We had to get on a wait list to get into the lounge. There was a rope blocking the entrance. If it's busy, you have to scan the QR code and put yourself on the list. We walked away and spent a good 45 minutes near our gate, but then got a text saying there was room available in the lounge. Our flight was delayed so we had plenty of time to walk all the way back to the lounge. The walk from our departure gate was hot and slightly uphill, so dress for warm weather. It's nice that there are bathrooms inside the lounge. As for the food, it's all self serve and you throw away your paper plates yourself. On the day I visited, there were kalua pork sliders with taro or regular Hawaiian rolls with fresh sliced green onions and a sauce. They had taro chips and mele macs (toffee and chocolate covered macadamias) in jars. I didn't think much of these, but glad I tried them. I ended up buying half a dozen bags of mele macs from the Kauai Costco to bring back as gifts since since they are a little more unique than regular chocolate covered macadamias. The only thing I remember them kinda missing were some nice juices. There were no canned juices nor jugs of juice. They had a soda fountain, coffee, tea bags, and bottles of wine you could self serve. The front desk staff were nice enough. The servers who refilled the food looked stressed but there were not mean. The main downside is that it's a small lounge. read more

Our business class ticket allowed our visit inside for free, and I enjoyed my visit. Definitely not the best lounge I've ever been in but it was clean and friendly during our time there. It was busy on a mid-afternoon on a Monday but not so busy that I felt it ruined the experience. I wouldn't mind visiting again if our ticket allows us in again. read more

So obviously my rating, like anything I got for free, would depend on if I was paying for it. If I paid full price, I'd probably say it was a 3/5 (you'd have to drink a decent amount of beer to be worth it), but I got in via Priority Pass, so I'm rating it compared to other places I've gotten in via Priority Pass. We also got there around 9:45, so they still had room - it looked much more likely people were getting waitlisted by the time we left around 11:20 (AM). Here is what we got in exchange for getting on the Wiki Wiki shuttle to/from the other terminal: as far as drinks, one pretty solid craft lager and one pretty solid craft seltzer from Maui Brewing, bottles of Heineken, a couple very mediocre wines by the self-serve glass, and coffee, tea and soda from a machine. For food, decent enough sandwiches (turkey and tuna), hard-boiled egg, slices of cheese, a decent enough minestrone soup, and various little snack items (adequate taro chips, bags of fruit snacks, pretzels, little pastries). The sandwiches were gone when we got there, but refilled within a few minutes (and ran out and got refilled a couple times while we were there). quickly and often. You *cannot* take anything with you (for reasonable environmental reasons, but they are a bit touchy about it). The wifi works well, but that's not terribly useful, as the airport wifi works well enough too. It isn't terribly relaxing with the relatively small size and being always busy, as the only real lounge in the airport, but for the price (free), I can't really complain. 2 craft beers at the terminal would be pretty expensive otherwise (though to be fair - a bigger selection.) And yes it is indeed literally about a 30 second walk from the wiki wiki drop-off/pickup spot in terminal 1. From terminal 2 it's across the bridge and upstairs (the lounge is on terminal 3.) read more

No bells and whistles here but it will mostly do the trick if you want to save money on airport food and potentially be around fewer people. The seating isn't particularly comfortable unless you're able to sit on the cushioned bench nearest the food or one of the tan chairs. The bulk of the seating is perhaps for aesthetics because it's not for comfort. Also, there are not enough outlets. My friend and I were initially seated near what appeared to be an outlet bank on the floor but...none of them were working. Pork sliders, veggies and dip, coleslaw coffee, soda, tea, and a few tiny desserts are your main food options. There's some fresh fruit like apples and oranges as well. Also, when my friend and I initially walked up, the staff member who greeted us wasn't particularly kind and assumed we saw a sign stating the lounge was at capacity. After 6 hours of traveling and a trek from one side of the airport to another, forgive us for being solely focused on making it to our destination. Sheesh. read more

The lounge of Aloha... Thank you Nadine for the pass as it felt like a VIP once the staff had seen it as they were full capacity and was going to put us on a wait...meh! This lounge is located obviously in Terminal 1 where all the inter island flights are, right after you exit the security near Burger King you just take the elevator or escalator to the second floor and walk all the way in the back is where they are. It's not as big as some other lounges I've been to but do have lots of comfy seatings with charging ports everywhere, bathroom and of course lots of food. Minestrone soup was it today along with a build your own Kalua Pig Sliders, fresh fruits, veggies and ranch and snacks...taro chips, cookies, fruit gummies, pretzels and fresh pastries then don't forget the drinks...soda fountain, milk, orange juice and wine. The walk was pretty far depending on your gate but is nice to have a place to stretch, relax and enjoy prior to your flight and The Plumeria Lounge is a great place to recharge in so many way. Thank you read more

The lounge looks a bit outdated but is still a nice and clean place to relax and get a little something to eat and drink while you wait for your flight. Today, I had a nice warm minestrone soup, a cold turkey and cheese sandwich (a cold tuna sandwich was also available), and a cafe latte from the self serve coffee machine. However, I was expecting a little more because I'm lucky enough to have tried many other airline lounges. Perhaps more hot food options, a few liquor and spirits options and an easier WiFi login process would get them to a current "standard" of lounge experience. Service was limited since everything was self serve. I arrived around 8pm and did not have to wait in line before checking in. read more

A bit of a disappointment at the Honolulu Airport. Located in the inter-island travel part of the terminal, you have to catch the Wikiwiki shuttle bus (it's a bit of a distance to walk) if traveling to the mainland or overseas (other than the U.S.). The lounge is spartan - food selection limited to pre-packaged food, soft drinks, wine and beer (Maui Brewery cans in a small refrigerator). It can get a bit crowded at times so based on the location, (lack of) selection of food and drinks, if you have an airline lounge access elsewhere, it would be better to visit the other lounges. read more
