Honolulu Airport, also known as Daniel K. Inouye International Airport, is the primary aviation gateway to Hawaii. Located in Honolulu, the capital of the state, it serves as a major hub for both domestic and international flights. The airport has a rich history, dating back to its establishment in 1927. Over the years, it has undergone significant expansions and renovations to accommodate the growing number of passengers.
The airport is served by numerous major airlines, including Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, United Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and Southwest Airlines. These airlines offer flights to various destinations across North America, Asia, Oceania, and other parts of the world.

There are only a few destinations that you can reach from Honolulu International Airport, most of these are operated by Hawaiian Airlines. Many people take a flight to Tokyo and transfer to another flight there.

The airport offers a wide range of facilities and amenities for travelers, including restaurants, shops, duty-free outlets, lounges, and car rental services. There are also currency exchange counters, ATMs, and Wi-Fi access throughout the terminals.
Public transport options to and from the airport include shuttle buses, taxis, ride-sharing services, and public buses. The airport is well-connected to the city and other parts of the island.
