"We are reimagining the travel experience with spaces that showcase our dedication to guest satisfaction and the unique culture of Hawai'i," said Alaska's vice president of guest products and experience, Todd Traynor-Corey, in a statement. "Our new Honolulu lounge will be the first-of-its-kind within this space and will offer a modern oasis for our guests to enjoy."
While the new lounge is years away from completion, according to Alaska Air Group, it will be located at the Mauka Concourse in Terminal 1. For size comparison, the new lounge will be much larger - five times larger, to be exact - than the existing Premier Lounge in Honolulu.
Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines operate their own network of lounges respectively, though a premium-only space will become a first for both carriers. Lounge access policies haven't been announced yet, but the space will likely be dedicated to passengers in business and first-class cabins.
In addition, Hawaiian Airlines is making other investments in the traveler experience, such as fast and free Starlink Wi-Fi, which is currently available on all A330 and A321neo aircraft. The carrier will continue to receive deliveries of its newest aircraft, the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, which features Hawaiian's newest business-class seats.
