Spending the night at the airport

While Honolulu Airport is open 24 hours a day, most of the facilities close between 10:00 pm and 5:00 am. To spend the night on the premises, you will need to show your boarding pass. It is advisable to bring earplugs, a mask and some warm clothes for a better rest.
