The new space is open from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. daily and across from Gate 15. There’s room for 36 people, with amenities like free Wi-Fi, charging stations, and local snacks and drinks by Hawaiian Chip Company, Lion Coffee, and more. 

The lounge is the airline’s sixth Premier Club in Hawaii. Additional locations include Honolulu, Oahu (NHL); Hilo, Hawaii Island (ITO); Kona, Hawaii Island (KOA); and Lihue, Kauai (LIH). 

Photos of the new OGG lounge show a peaceful setting, with natural light, earth tones, and ample views. Wooden highlights hearken to island forests, and abstract artwork captures the ocean’s mystique. Palm trees lean into the breeze outside the window, giving a perfect vista to rest and recharge before or after a flight.
