Honolulu Airport and Hotel Transfer Guide
Landing at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) usually means stepping off the plane into warm tropical air and facing the immediate task of getting your bags and heading to your hotel.

The walk from the arrival gates to the ground transportation zones involves navigating baggage claim and heading out to the designated pickup areas, where island humidity hits you instantly. Getting From the Airport to Honolulu City Center # When you exit the terminal at HNL, you will find yourself dealing with heavy traffic right outside the baggage areas. The distance to downtown Honolulu or the main hotel districts is relatively short, but traffic on the H-1 freeway can crawl during peak hours. You need to plan your ride based on your party size and budget before you even board your flight.
