AQ & HA are stationed in their own Inter-Island terminal. Pax departing on other airlines for the mainland, Asia, and Australia check in and go through security at the Overseas terminal.

Ahh, guess me and the Mrs. are knuckleheads.. Last time we flew HA in F, they opened a checkpoint to the right of HA counters just as we finished up getting our bags checked in, no premium line there. Will make sure to take advantage of this next time.

There is almost no line at the security checkpoint at OGG. However, you should budget extra time for checking your bags, as you have to through agricultural inspection first, then TSA inspection, and then the checkin counter (not necessarily in that order). Even flying in F it took more time that it should have.
Thankfully you are on UA. The line at the ATA counter at 1pm isn't something I would wish on anyone (except perhaps Kip Hawley)

Going through OGG can be slow, but as noted above, the security line isn't the bottleneck. The checkin lines can be long and slow -- even the elite lines. If you're checking bags, you've got two ag inspections.
Give yourself an extra 20 minutes or so beyond what you'd normally do.

Looks like they're bringing the pax screening expertise system used at some mainland airports to checkpoint 5 at HNL...
