The United Club Lounge at Honolulu Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) is new, and I had the opportunity to visit it before my flight out of Honolulu to Guam. Because I was flying in United Polaris Business Class, I could access the club after scanning my boarding pass. It was a bit tricky to find the club due to the lack of signs at Honolulu airport, but the United Club itself was nice, considering there are generally not many nice airport club lounges at that airport to choose from.
