Flying to Hawaii: choosing the right airport

When you plan a trip to Hawaii, you often have several airport options. Large international airports such as Honolulu (HNL) connect Hawaii to mainland United States and the rest of the world, while regional airports like Lihue (LIH), Kona (KOA) or Hilo (ITO) bring you closer to your final destination on each island.

This website does not sell tickets, but helps you understand how each airport works from a traveler’s perspective: where you arrive, how easy it is to reach nearby towns and resorts, and what to expect in terms of facilities such as Wi-Fi, food and parking.

No matter which island you fly to first, it is common to combine islands during a single trip. Many visitors fly into Honolulu and continue with an inter-island flight to another airport on Kauai, Maui, Molokai or Hawaii Island. Use the individual airport pages to quickly see how to connect flights, pick up a rental car or travel by public transport.
