Getting There & Around
GETTING TO HAWAII
Honolulu is the main hub, but nonstop flights from the mainland go to all four islands. Traveling between the islands requires booking a flight through Go!, Mokulele Airlines, or Hawaiian Airlines.
GETTING AROUND
Most people rent (and return) cars at the airports. Two essential local terms used in driving directions include mauka (mountainward) and makai (oceanward). In Waikiki, hotel parking rates can run from $25 to $30 a night.
