Admirals Club at HNL

With three hours before departure, I decided to lounge hop, starting with the Admirals Club, co-located and branded with JAL's Sakura Lounge.  This is the third Honolulu AC club and location in my memory.  While a more convenient location than the former one in the distant Gate 26-34 pier, it just doesn't do anything for me despite the recent make-over.   And since AA was late to return to the Gates 14-23 pier location, they got the worst space, upstairs down a narrow corridor over the Kona Brewing Co.  The staff is still great (I even got an email from them saying they were looking forward to my visit), the club just plain sucks.

The new minimalist style.  Meh.  Most depressing.

Pathetic food offferings.

The worst thing about the club was the terrible Wifi, on par with the PIT US Airways Club for the slowest in the system.  I got so frustrated with the lack of speed that I left after 10 minutes and headed to the United Club.
