Hawaiian Airlines - do they have a lounge?

[nogi]

I'm a Qantas club member and usually fly with them but this time we are flying Hawaiian Airlines. Do they have a lounge in Brisbane and Honolulu that we could access at a fee?

I rarely offer the advice "buy a drink in a nice airside establishment instead of a lounge visit" but when it comes to HA operated lounges, even by North America's low, low standards, HA lounges are cr@p! IMO complete and utter cr@p. Which, is presumably why VA even send their precious metals on HA codeshares departing HNL to the DL lounge instead:!:

LOL so a bit like the Qantas Club at Brisbane Airport.

No, at BNE, IMO - both the Qantas Club and International Business Lounge are simply light years ahead of HA's own/operated HNL lounge... I mean you wouldn't even compare. (HA's HNL lounge is like a staff break room in a mildly unsuccessful Gold Coast telemarketing company from the 80s, it is pure function with no form, fly-by-night style with grandma's old furniture - although it does offer wifi.)

Qantaslink's Regional Lounges also stack up as significantly more inviting than HA's outer island lounges.

Ok, so pass on the lounge. How are they for seating upgrades?

I know when flying inter-island they often email first class upgrade offers ahead of the flight. Dunno about longhaul though.
