Hawai’i Calling

Hotels, Airlines, Restaurants, Airports, in Hawaii, random and methodical. On O'ahu most times, outer-islands when I can.

Mega Lounges Coming to Honolulu Airport: Hawaiian, Southwest & Delta Compared https://t.co/aMzDuYw6RF via @hawaiicalling

[Hawai’i Calling @hawaiicalling]

HNL is going from small lounges…
to THREE major ones at once.
Delta expanding
Hawaiian + Alaska building new flagship
Southwest entering lounges

This isn’t just upgrades—it’s real competition.
And it might mean something rare:
no lounge lines.

Delta is building a massive new lounge at HNL.

12,000+ sq ft
$8M investment
Multi-area layout
And it’s happening right as Hawaiian + Southwest enter the lounge space.
Honolulu lounge competition is finally heating up.

Hawaiian Airlines vs Southwest: Hawaii Resident Discount Programs Compared (Which Is Best for You?) https://t.co/mrJhoIRVAs via @hawaiicalling

If you live in Hawai‘i and fly interisland…

Hawaiian vs Southwest isn’t as equal as it looks.

Southwest = better long-term value
Hawaiian = better real-world flexibility
So which one actually matters more?

[Hawai’i Calling @hawaiicalling]

Southwest says it wants to “bring back the aloha” to Hawaii flights—
even referencing old interisland coupon books.

It’s a targeted play for local travelers…
right as Hawaiian Airlines transitions under Alaska.

Competition in Hawaii is heating up.

[Hawai’i Calling @hawaiicalling]

Flying out of HNL?

“AS” no longer = Alaska.

Some Hawaiian flights now show Alaska flight numbers—and it’s sending people to the wrong terminal.

Ignore the flight number.
Check the logo.
It’ll save you a long walk.
