The Hawaiʻi Department of Transportation (HDOT) Airports Division is alerting travelers of limited parking at the five busiest airports across the state during the holiday season due to an anticipated increase in airline passengers.
Ellison Onizuka Kona International Airport at Keahole (KOA), Hilo International Airport (ITO), Lihue Airport (LIH), Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu (HNL) and Kahului Airport (OGG),are expected to be busy. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) anticipates travel volumes for the 2022 Thanksgiving travel period between Wednesday, Nov. 23, and Sunday, Nov. 27, will equal or surpass pre-2019 passenger volumes.
HDOT advises those departing from Hawaiʻi airports to consider getting dropped off by family or friends, a taxi, or a ride sharing service. The Department also recommended passengers arrive two hours before an inter-island flight and three hours early for mainland and international travel.
Individuals planning on parking at the airport, arrive early and allow for sufficient time to find a parking space and walk to the terminal.
