About two dozen airports in the Hawaiian Islands serve millions of tourists every year who have decided to relax on a paradise archipelago in the heart of the Pacific Ocean. For a Russian traveler, a US visa is a prerequisite for a vacation in Hawaii, and a minimum knowledge of geography will help to choose the right airline.
There is no direct flight from Russia to the Hawaiian archipelago, and therefore will have to travel with transfers in New York or Los Angeles, where Aeroflot and American Airlines fly directly. Travel time will be at least 18 hours excluding connections.
Hawaii International Airports
Three main airports have international status in the archipelago:
- The Hawaiian International Airport in Honolulu is located on the island of Oahu.
- Hilo Airport is an air harbor on the island of Hawaii.
- Kona Air Port also hosts tourists on the island of Hawaii.
The main airport is Honolulu, with a transfer in which you can get to resorts and hotels on all inhabited islands of the archipelago
