Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club Lounge at Lihue Airport (LIH) on Kauai Island is yet another of the smallest airport lounges in Hawaii. What’s crazier about this club lounge is it’s so small that there is no staff or lounge attendant to check you in. Guests are encouraged to auto-scan boarding passes before entering, but if you don’t, you can still open the door and get in!
Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club LIH Location
The small Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club is located by Gate 5 at Lihue airport after security. It’s really small, so pay attention while locating the club in case you walk past it.
Access
Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club LIH is so small that there’s no check-in desk or a person to check your boarding pass and lounge access qualification. Although by the door there’s an automated boarding pass scanner machine, anyone can practically open the lounge door and walk in. Therefore, you do not need to fly business class with Hawaiian Airlines or have a Priority Pass Membership to access the lounge for free.
Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club LIH Price
Free, see Above.
Seats
HA Premier Club at LIH has a few seats, but don’t expect many. You can literally see the entire lounge with one glimpse from the entry door. The lounge is really small. See the photos below.
Food
There’s no food inside the club, just pretzel snacks, lol!
Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club Drinks
I think going into the Premier Club at LIH beats paying for the expensive soda drinks and coffee/tea at the airport because the lounge offers those free of charge. There are tea bags, coffee and soda fountains with Coke products and iced teas. So I would go to the lounge just for that.
Internet Wi-Fi
Yes, available unlimited inside the lounge. The free airport Wi-Fi requires watching a sponsored video and is good for 45 minutes. After that, you must go through the process again to get another 45 minutes of free Wi-Fi.
Bathroom
Are you kidding me? The lounge is so small!
Conclusion
Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club Lounge at Lihue Airport is located after security, and the lounge is so small that there’s no check-in desk or lounge staff. You are supposed to scan your boarding pass at the self-service scanner machine before entering the lounge, but in practice, you don’t need to; anyone can enter the lounge. In addition, the club lounge offers really limited seats, and only packaged pretzel snacks are available. Perhaps the highlight of the club is the unlimited non-alcoholic beverages you can enjoy compared to paying for the expensive airport drinks!
