UA Club is "airside"
The "pre-clearance hall" is a "holding-pen" by Gates 8 & 9. Arrive 40 min before your departure to HNL.
Just a summary of the info in this thread:
For HNL-GUM-(non-US destinations):
- Arrive in GUM
Collect checked luggageClear GUM CustomsRe-Check any checked baggageRe-Clear TSA-style security- Hang around airside until flight (like a normal US airport). UA Club is accessible airside.
For (non-US origin)-GUM-HNL:
- Arrive in GUM
- Clear US Immigration
Collect any checked luggageClear GUM CustomsRe-Check any checked luggage- Re-Clear TSA-style security
- Hang around airside until flight (like a normal US airport). UA Club is accessible airside.
- Clear US Immigration at Gate (holding-pen at Gate 8 & 9, arrive at least 40 min before departure).
For those who are connecting GUM-HNL-XXX (where XXX is any airport)
- Arrive in HNL
- Collect any checked luggage
- Clear HNL customs
- Re-Check any checked luggage
- Re-Clear TSA security
- Hang around airside until flight (like a normal US airport). UA Club is accessible airside.

You do not collect luggage, clear customs, re-check or re-clear. HNL-GUM arrival passengers are directed to two places: Guam customs or connecting flights.

Since vast majority of passengers are US citizens or residents, and the main purpose being verifying admissibilty instead of actually admitting, it doesn't take as long as Canadian/Caribbean preclearance. But maybe someone more experienced can explain how they manage status/priority passengers in this situation.

There is a Premier Access lane and an economy lane. At least that is what I remember seeing back in April.

I'm a Canadian citizen traveling HKG-GUM-HNL-SFO-YVR next week, don't expect to check a bag, just carry on. The GUM layover is only 40 minutes, I presume since I'm arriving from HKG that I would clear US Immigration as indicated earlier in this thread and I have TSA Pre-check but it still seems awfully tight: my questions:
Does Pre-check even operate in GUM?
I presume UA sells this combination because it's doable, but is it?

- deplane, head to US Immigration
- follow 'transit' sign (hopefully it's obvious)
- go through TSA screening
- head to gate and board?
(I won't be checking a bag)

You're welcome. The steps outlined are correct. In terms of following the transit sign, there'll be a couple of employees at a desk right behind immigration. They have a list of passenger names and will need to check your boarding pass. They'll give you directions if needed.

Yes. Look for a "connecting" passenger desk right after US Immigration. It is located to the left and you will see the door that leads to TSA screening.
