Reviews and Comments:
 
This airport is special in its own way. We had to leave at 6pm but we arrived a little before 5pm. The agent verified our reservation and asked us if we want to take an early flight to Honolulu which was scheduled at 5pm. We said yes. Then we went through security which was right next to the waiting "lounge". So all was very easy and hassle free. One thing I remember, there is no restroom after you go through security, so if you must go.. you have to go through security again because the restroom is located outside of the security zone. Another thing I remember, there was a small Coffees of Hawaii store in the airport building.
