While I haven’t had the chance to visit many lounges at Daniel Inouye International Airport, this one stands out as my favorite so far. The staff is exceptionally friendly and welcoming, creating a warm and relaxing environment from the moment you enter. The food options are tasty and well-presented, with a decent variety to satisfy different tastes. The small bar, though limited in size, offers a solid selection of beverages.

Overall, a comfortable and enjoyable experience that I look forward...

For those flying United, the ANA lounge is located at gate C4, on the other end of the terminal from the United flights. If you have time for the 10 minute walk, the ANA lounge is worth the steps. Highly recommend visiting...

And also it’s a long walk from the G gates where the other star alliance carriers...
