While the Delta CRC is nice, remember that it does not offer free Wifi to all members as does the CO PC and NW WC. Also, I'm of the opinion that the CO PC has a better snack selection during the afternoon, including fresh fruits and sometimes papaya.

Just an update, the Delta CRC in HNL is closing as of May.

I've been in all but the Delta Club. The one I would not use is the Red Carpet Club. Either of the others are better.

I've been in the CRC, PC, and WC.

The PC is best overall for atmosphere, wi-fi, and snacks.

If you dont need wi-fi the I suppose that the CRC has the edge because of the open bar, although the CRC dragons got downright hostile when I left my guests in there for a few minutes without me.

Avoid the WC.

Why is the CRC closing?

Your guess is as good as mine. There's a comprehensive thread on the Delta forum about several CRC closures. I believe it was attributed to $, but why would they close down a CRC that was so popular and heavily used is anyone's guess.

I'm a PP holder as well, and even when I flying out from HNL (my home airport), I like to use CRC for it's peaceful surroundings and the free drinks.

It is a little out of the way, tho.

If you like to be near the gates, then the President's Club may be a better bet.
But you don't mention what airline, so it's tough to judge what is or isn't close.......

Good luck.

Why avoid the WC? The staff is among the best in the system, IMHO. It's old and outdated, but has a free open bar (self pour), and a nice staff. I really like it there!

IMHO, if you threw the WC staff, PC snacks, and WC/PC Wifi into the DL CRC, you'd have the perfect club!

james318

Agreed. As long as the bar is still self-pour.

What's the advantage of the WC over the CRC or PC?

The CRC is much more aesthetically pleasing and has self-serve drinks, and if wi-fi is critical then the PC beats the WC.

Hi all,

I'm a Priority Pass member and will be flying through Honolulu in a couple of weeks. I was wondering what people would consider to be the "best" airline lounge at HNL that's accessible to PP members. In particular, I can access the Northwest WC, United RCC, American AC, Continental PC, and the IASS Hawaii lounge (but I think this might be closed during the times I'm there).

I'm flying to/from the mainland on United and then connecting to Hawaiian for an inter-island flight. I've got about 3 hours in each direction. I'm traveling with my wife and our 5 month old daughter so peace and quiet are probably more important than free drinks!

Any opinions on where to spend the time? First thought was that the RCC makes sense since I'm flying in/out on United. However, if one of the other lounges is "better", then we're not averse to a little walk before or after the long flight.

Thanks very much and Aloha!

This link might help with the CO/NW comparison: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showt...=worldclub+hnl

Also if you're looking for a shower, AA is the lounge to be at.

Thanks for the link! I hadn't seen that review before. Looks like the lack of a restroom in the WC definitely knocks them out of contention for me.

The shower at the AA lounge sounds like a nice plus, so I'll definitely have to keep that in mind.

Thanks again,
B

If you use the AA lounge outbound, just be sure to add a conservative 20 minutes for your walk time from the lounge to the UA gate.
