Hawaiian Airlines flights from Las Vegas use Terminal 3 at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS). After the Alaska–Hawaiian integration, the airlines share a Terminal 3 check-in lobby, and your flight may appear as “Alaska as Hawaiian Airlines.” Hawaiian-branded Las Vegas–Honolulu flights commonly use the D gates, but you should always confirm the live gate in the Alaska Hawaiian app or on airport screens.
Quick Answer
Hawaiian Airlines uses Terminal 3 at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas. Check in at the shared Alaska Hawaiian lobby, clear Terminal 3 security, and follow signs to your assigned gate. Hawaiian-branded Honolulu flights often depart from the D gates, reached by the Red Line tram, but gate assignments can change.
Note: Alaska Air Group completed its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines in September 2024. The airlines received a single operating certificate in October 2025 and moved to a shared passenger service system in April 2026. Hawaiian remains a distinct customer-facing brand, although its flights now carry Alaska’s AS code and may be displayed as “Alaska as Hawaiian Airlines.”

Location and Layout of the Hawaiian Airlines Terminal
Terminal 3 is the fixed part of your airport plan. Harry Reid International Airport lists Hawaiian Airlines ticketing, check-in, and baggage claim in Terminal 3. The airport’s airline directory assigns Hawaiian to the D gates, while the current Alaska–Hawaiian airport guide confirms that the two airlines now share a Terminal 3 lobby.
After you check in and clear security, follow the gate shown on your boarding pass. If your flight leaves from the D gates, take the Red Line automated tram from Terminal 3. If it is assigned an E gate, remain in the Terminal 3 concourse. Recent Hawaiian-branded Las Vegas–Honolulu flights have used D gates, but a past gate is never a guarantee for your flight.
Pro Tip: Treat “Terminal 3” as reliable and the gate number as changeable. Check the Alaska Hawaiian app before leaving for the airport, then confirm the gate again on the flight-information screens after security.
Step-by-Step Route From the Curb to the Gate
- Ask your driver to drop you at Terminal 3 Departures, or park in a Terminal 3 lot.
- Look for the shared Alaska Hawaiian check-in and bag-drop signage in the lobby.
- Clear a Terminal 3 TSA checkpoint.
- Check your boarding pass for a D or E gate.
- For a D gate, follow signs down to the Red Line tram. For an E gate, follow the concourse signs without taking the tram.
- Recheck the gate display before boarding because assignments can change.
Amenities and Services Available at the Terminal
Terminal 3 and the D-gate concourse provide the services most travelers need before a Hawaii flight. The current airline airport guide lists free Wi-Fi, power outlets at the gates, family restrooms, CLEAR, Global Entry, TSA PreCheck, and a partner lounge at LAS. The same guide states that there is no dedicated kids’ play area for this operation, so families should bring activities for the wait.
You can also find accessible restrooms, nursing suites, pet-relief areas, water refill stations, visual paging, and mobility assistance within the airport system. Request airline wheelchair or other accessibility support before travel when possible, then identify yourself to an agent when you arrive.
For flight changes, baggage questions, seat help, or a printed boarding pass, use the shared Alaska Hawaiian service area. The airline’s integration guide explains what travelers should expect from the shared app, lobby, and flight branding.
Check-in Process for Hawaiian Airlines at Las Vegas Airport
| Check-in Detail | Current Guidance |
|---|---|
| Online or mobile check-in | Available from 24 hours until 1 hour before departure |
| Check-in location | Terminal 3 shared Alaska Hawaiian lobby |
| Recommended arrival with bags or counter needs | 2 hours before departure |
| Recommended arrival without bags or counter needs | 1 hour before departure |
| Ticket counter hours | Daily, 3:30 a.m. to 1:15 a.m., subject to operational change |
| Earliest checked-bag acceptance | No more than 4 hours before departure |
Use the Alaska Hawaiian app or the airline website to check in, select or review your seat, add traveler details, manage bags, and save a digital boarding pass. If you are already checked in and have no checked bag, you can go directly to security.
If you are checking luggage, scan your boarding-pass QR code at a self-service bag-tag station or kiosk, attach the printed tag, and take the bag to the staffed drop area for ID verification. Travelers who cannot access a mobile boarding pass can ask an agent for a printed copy.
Warning: Recommended arrival times are not the same as the final check-in cutoff. Your boarding pass must be issued and checked bags must be accepted before the airline’s cutoff for LAS. Arriving at the last minute can cause you to miss the flight even when the aircraft is still at the gate.
Dining and Shopping Options in the Terminal
Terminal 3 and the D gates have quick-service food, sit-down options, coffee, snacks, travel essentials, gifts, and duty-free shopping. The exact mix and opening hours change, especially for very early or late departures, so use the official Terminal 3 directory for current listings.
Do not rely on finding Hawaiian-themed merchandise or a specific dish such as poke near your gate. Those claims are not supported by the airport’s current directory. Eat before taking the tram if a suitable option is open near Terminal 3, or check the D-gate directory before committing to the ride.
You may bring an empty reusable bottle through security and fill it at a post-security water station. This is useful for a long flight to Hawaii and can reduce the cost of buying bottled water.
Transportation Options to and from the Terminal
Use Terminal 3 for drop-off and pickup. The correct level depends on the transportation type:
- Uber and Lyft drop-off: Regular Terminal 3 departures curb.
- Uber and Lyft pickup: Valet Level of the Terminal 3 parking garage. Follow the pedestrian bridge and garage signs from baggage claim.
- Taxi: Level Zero near Door 52.
- Public bus: The Centennial Express (CX) serves Terminal 3 from the Level 2 stop across from Door 44. Routes 108 and 109 serve Terminal 1, not Terminal 3.
- Rental car: Courtesy shuttles leave from Level Zero at both ends of Terminal 3 and travel to the Rent-A-Car Center at 7135 Gilespie Street.
- Hotel or group shuttle: Level Zero, with domestic service generally using the west end of the building.
- Private vehicle pickup: Level 1 of the Terminal 3 parking garage for immediate loading.
Terminal 3 has short-term, long-term, economy, and valet parking. Availability and prices can change, so check the airport parking page before driving. The airport also offers advance parking reservations for selected facilities.
Hawaiian Airlines Lounge Access at Las Vegas Airport
Hawaiian Airlines does not operate a dedicated lounge at LAS. The official Alaska Lounge partner list includes The Club LAS in Terminal 3, across from Gate E2, for Alaska Lounge+ members traveling on a same-day Alaska Airlines or Hawaiian Airlines flight. Access is subject to capacity and the current membership rules.
A Hawaiian First Class ticket or elite status alone should not be presented as automatic access to this partner lounge. Other programs, memberships, or eligible credit cards may offer entry under The Club’s own rules, but those benefits are separate from the airline’s published Alaska Lounge+ access.
If your flight uses a D gate, allow enough time to travel between the Terminal 3 E-gate area and the D gates. Review the current lounge locations and access notes before your trip.
Tips for Navigating the Terminal Efficiently
Arrive about 2 hours before departure if you are checking bags, traveling with a pet, requesting accessible assistance, or need help at the counter. Harry Reid International Airport also recommends 2 hours for domestic flights because parking, check-in, and security lines can vary.
Terminal 3 has a Level 2 checkpoint serving D and E gates and a Level Zero Innovation Checkpoint with more limited hours. Check the airport’s current checkpoint hours and estimated waits before leaving for LAS.
Pro Tip: Download or update the Alaska Hawaiian app before travel. It can store your boarding pass, show flight status, send gate alerts, and help manage an Alaska- or Hawaiian-branded reservation from one place.
Once you clear security, identify your gate before buying food or entering a lounge. D-gate passengers must include tram time in their plan. Keep checking the app and airport screens because the gate can change after check-in.
Warning: Travelers age 18 or older need a REAL ID-compliant state license or another TSA-accepted ID, such as a passport, for domestic screening. A noncompliant state ID can lead to delays, additional screening, or refusal at the checkpoint.
Connecting Flights and Transfers at the Hawaiian Airlines Terminal
Connections between Terminal 3 and the D gates can remain inside the secure area by using the Red Line tram. Follow the gate signs rather than leaving the terminal. The shared passenger service system also gives Alaska- and Hawaiian-branded segments one reservation record when they are booked together.
If your next flight requires Terminal 1 landside access, note that you cannot walk between Terminals 1 and 3. The free inter-terminal shuttle runs about every 20 to 30 minutes, and the ride takes about 10 minutes. Terminal 3 pickup is on Level Zero. Allow additional time for waiting, bag collection, rechecking, and security if your itinerary requires those steps.
Do not assume that every connection avoids security. Separate tickets, checked bags, a landside terminal change, or an airline instruction may require you to exit and re-enter. Confirm the process with the operating airline and follow the signs shown for your specific itinerary.
Hawaiian Airlines Terminal Policies and Procedures
Baggage and Carry-On Items
Bag allowances, fees, size limits, and special-item rules depend on your ticket and itinerary. Review the baggage section attached to your reservation before travel, prepay when available, and attach identification inside and outside each checked bag. Keep medicines, documents, valuables, and essential items in your carry-on.
TSA’s 3-1-1 rule generally limits carry-on liquids, gels, aerosols, creams, and pastes to containers of 3.4 ounces or 100 milliliters inside one quart-size bag, with exceptions for medically necessary liquids and certain infant-care items.
Accessibility Assistance
Request wheelchair service or other accommodations while booking or managing the trip when possible. The airline recommends arriving at least 2 hours early when you need accessible services. LAS also provides family restrooms, nursing suites, visual paging, and accessible ground-transportation options.
Pets and Hot-Weather Restrictions
Las Vegas heat can restrict pet transport. As of July 24, 2026, the airline’s travel advisory says animals are not accepted in the baggage compartment on LAS flights from March 27 through October 15, 2026 because of extreme-temperature forecasts. In-cabin pets remain subject to the airline’s normal eligibility, carrier, space, and documentation rules.
Note: Pet restrictions and travel advisories can change quickly. Review the current Alaska and Hawaiian travel advisories before taking an animal to the airport.
Lost Items and Delayed Bags
Contact the airline for a bag that did not arrive or an item left on the aircraft. Use the airport Lost and Found service for belongings left in public terminal areas, security areas, parking facilities, or airport-operated transportation.
Current Integration Changes and Future Upgrades
The confirmed changes at LAS are operational rather than a Hawaiian-themed terminal renovation. Alaska and Hawaiian now share a Terminal 3 lobby, use one passenger service system, offer one Alaska Hawaiian app, and place both brands’ flights under the AS flight code while preserving the Hawaiian onboard brand.
The airline has announced major future improvements for aircraft and airport spaces in Hawaii, but the cited plan does not announce expanded seating, new kiosks, or enhanced baggage tracking specifically for the Hawaiian operation at Las Vegas. Those LAS-specific claims should not be stated as planned projects without an airport or airline announcement.
Airport facilities, counters, and gates can still change as integration continues. Use the airline’s LAS airport guide and the live boarding pass as the final sources on the day of travel.
