Passengers can access the new lounge via the Delta Sky Club in Concourse E. The design taps into New England’s maritime history, with a ceiling and bar shape paying homage to the USS Constitution, nicknamed “Old Iron Sides,” the world’s oldest commissioned warship still on the water. Today, it’s docked in Boston Harbor.

Turning to culinary options, noted chef Ed Brown designed a menu with New England flavor. Passengers on the go can enjoy a three-course seafood meal in under an hour, with options like cod Milanese, octopus carpaccio, and a warm Maine lobster roll. Additionally, there will be a chef’s local daily fish selection offered a la plancha.

No Boston meal is complete without a cup of famous New England clam chowder, and the lounge will offer both regular and vegetarian recipes as an appetizer. Boston cream pie is a sweet local way to cap a meal.

Claude Roussel, Vice President – Delta Sky Club and Lounge Experience, said: “No two Delta One Lounges are alike – with each new space, we strive to create something truly special and distinct to the host city, while never compromising on service or quality. We know our guests value the exclusivity and hospitality of dining at a Delta One Lounge. This lounge is designed to deliver the elevated, VIP experience guests want — an experience that draws inspiration from the history and culinary traditions of Boston.”

The Hawaiian Airlines Foundation made grants to three Maui organizations that are coordinating wildfire recovery efforts. The grants totaled $150,000, offering significant assistance from the August 2023 disaster. The Foundation’s mission is to support programs in Hawaii for environmental sustainability, educational advancement, and cultural preservation. The Foundation is now a part of the Alaska Air Group after the two airline’s recent merger. The grants were awarded during a reception ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton Maui, Kapalua.

Ben Minicucci, CEO of Alaska Air Group, said: “Even though Alaska has served Hawai‘i for more than 17 years, we know that our responsibility to these islands will be much greater in the years ahead as we join with Hawaiian Airlines, which has been Hawai‘i’s airline for the past 95 years and counting. We feel this deeply and appreciate input from the community, and from all of you, to help us serve the people of Hawai‘i well for generations to come.”

Hawaiian Airlines closes this flagship lounge

Hawaiian Airlines will close its Apartment 1929 lounge

Apartment 1929 lounge

Hawaiian Airlines will close its Apartment 1929 lounge barely a year after its opening. The Honolulu-based airline will also wind down its premium airport VIP service. The closure occurs on March 14, barely a year past the lounge’s opening.

Hawaiian Airlines unveiled the VIP service and lounge in February 2024. The service didn’t require elite status, a special credit card, or a business or first-class ticket. Hawaiian passengers simply needed to pay for the service. But a year in, the tides changed, and both will be discontinued.
