Honolulu International Airport is the primary gateway to the State of Hawaii, though in recent years, nonstop flights to the outer islands (primarily from North America) have provided alternatives.  The field shares runways with Hickam Air Force Base, though the two maintain separate IATA and ICAO identifiers.
Honolulu International Airport is the primary gateway to the State of Hawaii, though in recent years, nonstop flights to the outer islands (primarily from North America) have provided alternatives.  The field shares runways with Hickam Air Force Base, though the two maintain separate IATA and ICAO identifiers.


Hawaiian Airlines and Island Air maintain their hubs at Honolulu, providing connections between their inter-island flights as well as to and from overseas flights.
Hawaiian Airlines maintains its hub at Honolulu, providing connections between their inter-island flights as well as to and from overseas flights.


The airport has four paved runways (8L/26R, 8R/26L, 4L/22R, and 4R/22L) as well as two water runways (8W/26W and 4W/26W).  Of these, 8R/26L, known as the Reef Runway, is the most famous as the first runway built entirely offshore, on a coral reef.  Normal operations have departures on 8R, with some inter-island flights using 8L.  During the day most arrivals will use 8L, while during the night 4R is used to avoid overflying residential areas.  During "Kona Wind" conditions, most departures will use 22L and occasionally 26L, and arrivals will use 26L and 26R.

===Airside Viewing===


Airside viewing and photography is possible in some areas due to the absence of glass in the walkways between the gates.  These areas are the breezeways located between gates 11 and 12, 13 and 14, 23 and 24, and 25 and 26.  Ramp clutter may be an issue.
