ISLAND AIR TERMINAL - HONOLULU, HAWAII

ISLAND AIR TERMINAL
HONOLULU AIRPORT

While I love to fly Hawaiian Airlines, I am getting pretty content flying Island Air to the Neighbor Islands.  I like the small airport adjacent to Honolulu International.  The parking is close and easy plus you can get through security in just a few minutes.  The Island Air planes board quickly and your luggage is available in minutes after you arrive at your destination.  Makes flying more relaxed if you do not mind flying in a small prop airplane.  The Island Air Terminal has a small bar/restaurant that serves up Nachos, Sandwiches and Salads.  The Nachos start at $11.99.  Add Chili $1.00 and add Guacamole for another $1.49.  All of the sudden you are paying almost $15 for a plate of nachos.
The Michalob Ultra was $7.09 and a Blue Moon Beer was $9.09.  May not want to spend too much time at this place.  You can go broke before your vacation starts.

Island Air had some really good deals for travel between Honolulu and Lanai.  This regional carrier serves airports on all major Hawaiian Islands.  They fly smaller turboprop Dash 8 airplanes that fly at lower altitudes than jets do.  Flying lower provides passengers with spectacular views of Hawaii's natural beauty, pristine coastlines and majestic mountains.  I like the fact that Island Air is in a small terminal next to the main airport terminal in Honolulu.  The terminal has a large parking lot directly in front of the check in and baggage claim areas.  This makes getting in and out very fast and easy.  You can check your bags and clear security here in just a few minutes.  Boarding is also a breeze.  With just 37 seats, the plane boards faster than the larger jets and you are in the air without any hassles.  Once aboard you are greeted by a flight attendant who explains emergency procedures and also provides complimentary Maui grown coffee or water.  The Dash 8 has a pilot and co-pilot on board.  Our trip to Lanai was less than 20 minutes.  The flight was smooth and quiet.  Once on Lanai we walked down the steps and had our baggage is less than five minutes.
