Access to Hawaiian Airlines lounges are only available to Hawaiian's elite members. No other elites for partner airlines, with the exception of United elites, unless traveling on a first class tickets on Hawaiian Airlines, are allowed access to these lounges.
If using the lounges in Kona or Hilo and flying FC (either paid or on an award ticket) be sure to get the combination for the door (these are unmanned clubs) from a CSR at the check-in. You may not be able to find an HA rep near the club and you'd have to exit security to get the combination. (Thanks to
