ANA Honolulu Lounge (consolidated)
ANA Press Release - May 30, 2018
QUOTE:
" TOKYO, May 30, 2018 - All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan's largest and only 5-Star airline, is creating a new lounge in the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu in line with the newly introduced "ANA HAWAii" concept and in preparation for the launch of the Airbus A380 (FLYING HONU) on the Tokyo - Honolulu route (*1). The lounge will be opening in spring 2019, making it the largest lounge in the airport, incorporating the ANA SUITE LOUNGE and ANA LOUNGE (*2). "

Design images and entrance eligibility included in press release

MODS - I started this thread as it relates to the new ANA lounge in HNL. I wasn't sure if this post belonged in the main ANA 380 discussion thread or in any of the ANA lounge threads. Feel free to move/merge/edit. Thanks

Gate 29/C4 is great.
Current ANA/UA/DL flights use the diamond head wing at HNL, which requires a wiki wiki bus to get to immigration. (Possibly one of the worst international arrivals experiences anywhere, IMHO)
You can't walk because there's no secure walkway from the Diamond Head wing to immigration.
However gate 29/C4 is on the wing that has direct secure walkable access to immigration.
Good news for ANA and HNL indeed.

Having a new lounge is pretty significant and warrants a new thread, in my opinion.

Having a young child myself, I appreciate ANA including a kids play zone in the lounge, although the size in the rendering looks woefully inadequate. We all know that flights between Japan/HNL can easily have dozens if not more kids. Granted, not all will have lounge access, but considering the size of the A380, I hope they have made proper plans.
