Guests can now use TSA checkpoint 1A in lobby 2 that exits at the Mauka Concourse – where Hawaiian boards most of its transpacific flights – or the new checkpoint 1B in lobby 3 that leads directly to gates primarily used for Hawaiian's interisland departures.

Yes, Hawaiian Airlines fully participates in the TSA PreCheck program. This means that if you have a Known Traveler Number (KTN) from Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, or NEXUS, you can enjoy expedited security screening at most U.S. airports, including the major hubs in Honolulu (HNL), Kahului (OGG), and Lihue (LIH). To ensure the high-fidelity "TSA PRECHK" indicator appears on your boarding pass, you must enter your KTN into your traveler profile on the Hawaiian Airlines website or during the booking process. In 2026, Hawaiian Airlines also supports digital IDs and mobile boarding passes that integrate with TSA's newest biometric scanning technology at participating checkpoints. For travelers flying between the islands or to the U.S. mainland, having PreCheck with Hawaiian is a high-value necessity to avoid the notoriously long security lines at Hawaii's busy tourist terminals, allowing you to keep your shoes on and your "High-Fidelity" electronics in your bag as you breeze through the specialized TSA lanes.
