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.

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?
My latest post is up and ready to go: Southwest’s Hawai‘i Interisland Benefits Explained — And Why “Aloha” Is Part of the Conversation https://t.co/GRhOigt7dS
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.
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.
