United Club Lounge Review at Honolulu Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) For United Polaris Business Class HNL - GUM

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.

Conclusion

Honolulu Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) is not known for having nice airport lounges. In fact, the Priority Pass IASS Hawaiian Lounge and the Hawaiian Airlines Business Lounge are the worst airport lounges we've been to. United Club is much better, offers a good selection of food and drinks, and is not overcrowded.
