Airport Information
Minneapolis (MSP)
Minneapolis-Saint Paul International Airport (MSP) is a major commercial hub consistently ranked as one of the best airports in North America for customer service and efficiency. Located centrally between the two cities, it features two distinct terminals, Terminal 1 (Lindbergh) and Terminal 2 (Humphrey), which are connected by a convenient light rail system. Travelers can enjoy a wide variety of local dining options, high-end shopping, and even an indoor walking path before boarding their long flight to Honolulu.
Honolulu (HNL)
Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL) serves as the primary gateway to the Hawaiian Islands and is located just a few miles west of downtown Honolulu. The airport is unique for its iconic open-air corridors and beautiful garden courtyards that immediately immerse arriving passengers in the island atmosphere and Pacific breeze. Upon arrival, travelers have easy access to Waikiki via shuttles, taxis, or rental cars, and the airport also serves as the main hub for inter-island flights to Maui, Kauai, and the Big Island.
