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.

At the southermost end of Lagoon Dr there are two parking lots that provide a good view of operations on 8R/26L, 4R/22L, and 4L/22R (Lagoon Dr lot) and 4R/22L, 4L/22R (Palekona St lot). A fence can obstruct ground-level shots at both lots, however shots are possible of aircraft when they are high enough so that the fence will not be in your shot. Be aware that when the terror alert level rises, police inspection checkpoints are put up on Lagoon Dr just past Aolele St, so this spot becomes inaccessible.

To reach these spots, turn makai (towards the sea) from Nimitz Hwy or Aolele St onto Lagoon Dr and follow it until it ends.  This location is also accessible by bus:  Take route 31 "Kalihi Lagoon Dr" and get off at Lagoon Dr. and Palekona St., then continue walking down Lagoon Dr. to the parking lot.

Although rather close to you (200mm lens gives you a full frame 767), take offs from 8R (which is used most of the time only for departures and only for wide-bodies) are difficult to photograph as you will be facing the sun all day long.

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.

Oahu's bus system, known as [http://www.thebus.org TheBus], provides two bus routes that serve the airport terminals. Both Routes 19 and 20 begin in Waikiki and proceed through Downtown Honolulu before reaching the airport.  Past the airport, Route 19 enters Hickam Air Force base, while Route 20 proceeds to the Pearlridge Shopping Center in Aiea.  Route 31 serves Lagoon Drive; riders can connect to and from routes serving downtown and Waikiki at Nimitz Highway.
