Honolulu’s Terminal 2, the main gateway for international and domestic flights, opened in 1927. It was “modernised” in the 1970s.
Hawaii’s main international airport is located on the island of Oahu, about 15 kilometres from Waikiki’s resorts. I opt for an Uber to take me to the airport so that I can squeeze in one last swim. It arrives at the hotel in next to no time and costs $US28 for the 15-minute ride. If you’re trying to save greenbacks, there’s a shared shuttle option for $US20 per person, or a public bus ride for $US3 that takes about an hour.It’s a tale of two terminals.
Terminal 1, on the other hand, reopened in 2021 after a $US270 million works project that added the new Mauka Concourse. Modern, cavernous and fully air-conditioned, the terminal is used mainly for flights to and from the US mainland and has a “non-island” vibe that could place it in any US airport from Denver to Detroit. To walk between the furthest points in Terminal 1 and 2 takes up to 15 minutes. Shuttles and wheelchair assistance are available.It’s my lucky day.
