A military-only space at HNL — for active-duty, Reserve and Guard members and families.

About this lounge

The USO Center at Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is a USO facility for U.S. Armed Forces service members and their families, rather than a conventional airline or pay-in airport lounge. It welcomes active-duty, Reserve and Guard service members along with their families, providing a calm, comfortable place to rest, regroup and refuel between flights — particularly valuable for those travelling on long or connecting itineraries. Eligibility is tied to military service, so unlike the airport's contract and airline lounges it isn't accessible to the general travelling public. The center offers complimentary snacks, a hot buffet and soft drinks, giving eligible travellers somewhere to settle in away from the busy terminal. If you or a family member serve in the U.S. Armed Forces and are passing through Honolulu, it's a welcome amenity; everyone else should look to the airport's airline, alliance or pay-in lounges instead.
