Honolulu International Airport

All flights entering Hawaii land at the Honolulu International Airport before departing to any other area of the Hawaiian islands. All flights leaving the islands and returning to the Mainland will also land at this airport before connecting to flights to their destination. For this reason the terminals will at times seem over crowded.

If you are flying overseas arrive no less than two hours before your flight. Curb side check-in is available at most airlines. As you arrive you are directed toward shops, baggage claim, and restaurants.http://hawaii.gov/hnl<ref>
