Hi,
So you mentioned the HNL interim car rental facility. I am currently booked with Enterprise. How difficult is it to get to now? Should I reconsider booking with one of the five companies you listed?
Thanks!
Thanks for the post. Lots of new random info haha. I stumbled across this as I’m researching for a trip to Hawaii with the family. Last time I went Honolulu’s airport was a mess. Hoping it’s a bit better. Might try flying into OGG but any suggestions if I’m coming in from Vancouver or Seattle?
Thanks,
Mark
Hi Mark.
Not sure exactly what info we can help with in regards to flying from Vancouver or Seattle. Both have pretty good fares to Maui generally and also see sales.
Aloha.
Just wish it wasn’t such a longggg distance from check-in to the gates at HNL, and from the gates to baggage claim, especially for Hawaiian Airlines. The Wiki Wiki bus is anything but. Best airport for me is Molokai…what’s the code for Kaunakakai?
A less obvious, but vital improvement ar KOA (Keahole-Kona) airport was completed early last year. Incandescent bulbs were replaced with low-energy LEDs throughout the terminal and ramp areas. Also main facility air conditioners were upgraded, and all old-style electrical transformers were replaced with new solid-state equipment. Then the whole thing was connected to a energy conservation computer management system.
The employee parking lot was provided with shade structures which hold several acres of solar photovoltaic cells.
All these improvements are the first steps to making sunny KOA energy neutral.
There’ more on the Kona horizon that might take up a whole Beat of Hawaii article.
Mahalo George!
Aloha.
What about the expansion at HNL? Any news? The last time I was there my inbound flight waited 40 minutes for a gate around noon. More gates are needed!
Hi Tony.
Thanks for that question. We updated the post to include the upcoming new concourse and gates at HNL. We have not heard if this work is running on schedule or not.
Aloha.
We really enjoy your daily emails about what’s going on in Hawaii. Do you know how the rebuilding project on the Coco Palms resort on Kauai is progressing?
Hi Steve,
Demolition is in process. We’ll stop by and do an update soon. Mahalo for asking.
Aloha.
I love flying into Kona and deplaning directly into the fresh Hawaiian air!
Lori,
I couldn’t agree more!! I love getting to the front of the plane and taking a deep breath of island air standing at the top of the stairs. There isn’t a better way to start a magical vacation.
