Honolulu International Airport

It’s hard to get excited about an airport hub, but the Honolulu Hawaii Airport seems more pleasurable than most.  You’re not going to find 4 star restaurants, massage centers, or internet cafes, but don’t discount the simplicity, efficiency, and beautiful surrounding tropical flora as measurable criteria.

The Honolulu International Airport (HIA) is located just 10 miles north of Waikiki.  It’s the largest airport hub in the state and is host to 27 different airlines.  With more than 20 million visitors coming through each year, the HIA is one of the world’s largest air transport centers.
