The Daniel K. Inouye International Airport now has a rail station! This station is one of four stations that opened in October 2025 as part of the Skyline Segment 2 extension.
The station itself is great! There are 3 elevators so it can meet the large demand of people getting to their flights with luggage. There are no escalators though, so stairs or elevators only.
There are three entrances; one at the mezzanine and two at ground level. I highly recommend going to the airport using the mezzanine entrance, left to Terminal 2 (non-Hawaiian Airlines besides to Japan) and right to Terminal 1 (Hawaiian Airlines exclusive). Terminal 2 is a short walk through the Terminal 2 garage and to the bridge to the terminal. Terminal 1 is a convoluted two-step process of walking through the International Garage, going to floor 6 to the overpass to the Inter-Island Garage, crossing the garage onto the Terminal.
Pro Tip: If you're going to Waikīkī, buy your Holo Card at the Station and take the W Line, which a 3 minute walk to in front of the lei stands. If you don't want to walk that far, take Skyline one stop East to Ahua Station and meet the W Line in front of the station entrance (free transfers included).
I can't wait to use the rail for my next flight! read more
