Honolulu: Arrival
The runways of Honolulu's International Airport , just west of downtown, extend out to sea on a coral reef. Car rental outlets abound, but a car is not especially desirable in Honolulu, what with city traffic and hefty parking fees in Waikiki. The Waikiki Airport Express (one-way $8, round-trip $13; tel 808/566-7333) is typical of the many shuttle services that run on request to any Waikiki hotel. Regular buses #19 and #20 connect Waikiki with the airport, but don't allow large bags, cases or backpacks (there are left-luggage lockers at the airport). A taxi will cost around $20. The nine-mile - not at all scenic - drive to Waikiki can take anywhere from 25 to 75 minutes.
