From the Hawaiian music coming from speakers, to ATMs that give lessons in Hawaiian to bathroom signs with a local flair. A great place to start your vacation.
La Marianas Tiki bar is a 6 minute cab ride from the airport. A great waterfront layover or first stop drinking spot. Best tiki dive bar in Hawaii. (HNL airport is in the background.)
I enjoyed buying three pineapples for $30. They are fresh. They are tasty. It is just hard to swallow the price per bite. For some reason, a Hawaiin pineapple has more nostalgia than a costco one.
Airport is a bit outdated and can use a remodel. Open air corridors are a nice touch to allow fresh pacific air through. Either way you just landed in Paradise.
Pretty dirty restrooms in the baggage claim area - don't forget your own tissues/sanitary wipes. Ungepflegter Sanitäranlagen im Bereich der Gepäckausgabe, eigene Papier-/Desinfektionstücher helfen.
Arrive early to visit the airline lounge garden but don't try to feed the fish and don't throw pennies into the pond. There's a funny sign to this extent
