Oahu on the North Shore
Honolulu International Airport on the island of Oahu is Hawaii’s primary airport. All major US airlines, two regional carriers and international airlines offering flights to Hawaii land at this airport. These include United, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska Airlines, Japan Airlines, China Airlines, QANTAS, Korean Airlines, China Airlines and more. Some of the carriers offer direct service to Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii from gateway cities on the US mainland.
Expect traffic on the island! The major thoroughfares throughout the city get clogged, particularly during the morning and evening rush hours between 6:30 to 8:30 a.m. and 4 and 6 p.m. Please try to remember and plan accordingly as traffic may be busy since there are few driving options around the island.
Hawaii is unique among states in America that it has its own time zone, Hawaii Standard Time (HST). HST is 2 hours behind Pacific Standard Time. And because it doesn’t have daylight savings it is 3 hours behind Pacific Daylight Time. An advantage of being the nation’s westernmost state is that travelers from the US mainland will gain time while visiting Hawaii.
This is one of the most frequently asked questions about Hawaii. Hawaii is one of the 50 states of the United States. So there is no need to carry a passport on a flight originating from any other US state.
Because of Hawaii’s temperate weather, you should dress light and comfortably. The average temperature in Hawaii in August is in the 80s.
There are three carriers offering Hawaii interisland flights. They are Hawaiian Airlines, Island Air and Molukele Airlines. Each offers numerous daily flights and all service the largest islands of Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island of Hawaii. Hawaiian and Mokulele offer service to the smaller islands of Molokai and Lanai. Except for service between Maui, Molokai and Lanai, there is no passenger ferry service between the islands.
