The runways of Honolulu's
International Airport
, just west of downtown, extend out to sea on a coral reef.
Car rental
outlets abound, but a car is not especially desirable in Honolulu, what with city traffic and hefty parking fees in Waikiki. The Waikiki Airport Express (one-way $8, round-trip $13; tel 808/566-7333) is typical of the many
shuttle services
that run on request to any Waikiki hotel. Regular buses
#19
and
#20
connect Waikiki with the airport, but don't allow large bags, cases or backpacks (there are left-luggage lockers at the airport). A
taxi
will cost around $20. The nine-mile - not at all scenic - drive to Waikiki can take anywhere from 25 to 75 minutes. Other useful information
