Lihue Airport Kauai


Lihue Airport Kauai, as the main entry point to the "Garden Island". It is located approximately a mile and a half east of Lihue city. Lihue Airport is partly open air airport. The airport is usually well considered to be easy to navigate and welcoming to travelers. Lihue Airport offers everything you need, whether you are flying internationally, domestically or on an inter-island basis.

It is worth to know before you go


At present time, only six airlines are operating at Lihue Airport; Delta Airlines, American Airlines, WestJet, Alaska Airlines, United Airlines, and of course, Hawaiian Airlines.

You will arrive at the ground level of the airport when you land at Lihue, and signage will direct you to the baggage claim, exits and information areas.
If you get into airport by car you have only one choice. It is Ahukini Road from Kapule Highway.

It is important to keep in mind that, because of the law, prohibiting the transmission of non-indigenous plants, pests, livestock and pathogens, all luggage traveling to and from Hawaii is subject to agricultural inspection. So, be ready for thorough baggage inspection. It is much more difficult to fly with pets to and from Hawaii than other states.

At Lihue Airport, the Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club Lounge near gate five, there is one lounge open to passengers.
