Honolulu International HNL
Nonstop or a connection changes the whole day, and Honolulu has only Honolulu International, so the real choice is when you go and how you route; cheap flights from Honolulu still need that check. Before you book, compare the fare by date, the connection time, the baggage rules and the terminal, especially if you are heading to Innsbruck, Oslo, Paris, Sofia, Bordeaux, Billund, Krakow or Gdansk, where routings can vary more than the headline price suggests.

Getting to the city
Honolulu International is the airport for Honolulu, so the transfer question is how you get between HNL and your address rather than which airport to use; leave time for traffic, check your terminal, and avoid a tight turnaround between the airport and the city; public transport, taxis and rideshares may all be available, but services and pickup points change, so confirm them close to travel.
