Kahului Airport Lounges

• —Single terminal — both lounges are airside on the upper level after security
• —Premier Club sits opposite Gate 17 with the longer daily hours
• —Hawaiian Airlines South Premier Club sits opposite Gate 15 for domestic departures
• —Both accept Priority Pass; access can be limited at capacity via a waiting list

Priority Pass is accepted at both the Premier Club (Gate 17) and the Hawaiian Airlines South Premier Club (Gate 15). It's the single most useful way in at Kahului — present your Priority Pass card or digital pass with your boarding pass. Access can be limited at busy times, when a waiting list applies.

Priority Pass

Both lounges are Hawaiian Airlines Premier Clubs. Eligible premium Hawaiian Airlines passengers can use the Gate 17 club as part of their fare or membership — check your ticket and Premier Club terms before you travel, as eligibility follows Hawaiian Airlines' own rules.

The Premier Club opposite Gate 17 admits paying guests when space allows, so you can pay per visit without Priority Pass or airline status. Entry is subject to capacity — if the lounge is full, a waiting list operates and doesn't guarantee a seat.

Flying in a premium Hawaiian Airlines cabin, or holding eligible Hawaiian status, can get you into the Gate 17 Premier Club directly — the simplest route if you're already booked on Hawaiian out of Kahului. Confirm your specific fare's lounge eligibility with the airline.

Match the lounge to your gate

• —Both lounges are airside on the upper level, but the Premier Club is by Gate 17 and the South Premier Club is by Gate 15 — pick the one nearest your boarding gate.
• —The South Premier Club is geared to domestic departures from the Gate 15 area; check which gate you're leaving from before settling in.
• —It's a single terminal, so you can walk between the two if one is full, but allow a few extra minutes.

Mind the hours

• —The Gate 17 Premier Club keeps the longer hours (roughly 06:00–20:30 daily), so it's the safer bet for very early or later flights.
• —The Gate 15 South Premier Club runs shorter midday hours (around 09:30–15:30), and times can shift seasonally — don't count on it outside that window.
• —Always re-check current hours close to your travel date, as lounge hours at OGG can change.

Plan your access

• —Priority Pass is the most reliable way in at both lounges — carry your card or digital pass with your boarding pass.
• —If you're flying Hawaiian Airlines in a premium cabin, the Gate 17 Premier Club may already be included with your ticket.
• —No Priority Pass or status? You can usually pay to enter the Gate 17 Premier Club when there's space.

Manage crowds and timing

• —Lounges here are small and can fill at early-morning and late-afternoon peaks; if full, a waiting list operates and doesn't guarantee entry.
• —Access is generally permitted from about three hours before your scheduled departure — arriving much earlier may mean a wait.
• —Children under two are typically admitted free, and all food and drink must be consumed inside the lounge.
