Main Terminal / Concourses at Honolulu HNL Airport

Honolulu Airport has three passenger terminals - an Overseas Terminal, an Interisland Terminal and a Commuter Terminal. Shuttle buses run 6am-10pm daily between Commuter, Interisland and Overseas Terminals.

NOTE: Honolulu International is urging passengers to arrive at the Airport at least two hours ahead of your scheduled overseas flight, or 90 minutes ahead of your inter-island flight. Should you need to park or rent a car, add another 30 minutes to your arrival time at the Airport.

Getting around: 1. Departing overseas passengers can, after security clearance, take a bus on the third level of the Overseas Terminal to their gate located either at Ewa or at Diamond Head Concourses. You can also walk from the Overseas Terminal to the Interisland Terminal (10-15 minutes) or to the Commuter terminal (another 5-10 minutes).
2. Arriving overseas passengers in either Ewa or Diamond Head concourses can take a bus outside their gates back to the main terminal or the Interisland Terminal. HOWEVER,  all international arrivals (unless they completed US customs clearance by participating airports) need to go through passport check, retrieve checked bags, go through customs clearance and - if transferring to another flight - re-check-in bag (the tag should indicate layover and final destination Airport Codes).
