Honolulu International Airport is the primary gateway to the State of Hawaii, though in recent years, nonstop flights to the outer islands (primarily from North America) have provided alternatives. The field shares runways with Hickam Air Force Base, though the two maintain separate IATA and ICAO identifiers.

Hawaiian Airlines and Island Air maintain their hubs at Honolulu, providing connections between their inter-island flights as well as to and from overseas flights.

The airport has four paved runways (8L/26R, 8R/26L, 4L/22R, and 4R/22L) as well as two water runways (8W/26W and 4W/26W). Of these, 8R/26L, known as the Reef Runway, is the most famous as the first runway built entirely offshore, on a coral reef. Normal operations have departures on 8R, with some inter-island flights using 8L. During the day most arrivals will use 8L, while during the night 4R is used to avoid overflying residential areas. During "Kona Wind" conditions, most departures will use 22L and occasionally 26L, and arrivals will use 26L and 26R.

==Official Spotting Locations==

===Location===

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Lagoon Dr. Parking Lot===

A parking lot at the end of Lagoon Dr. provides a good view of operations on 8R/26L, 4R/22L, and 4L/22R. A fence can obstruct ground-level shots, however for departures on 8R, most aircraft will be high enough that the fence will not be in your shot. When the terror alert level rises to Orange or above, police inspection checkpoints are put up on Lagoon Dr. just past Aolele St., so this spot becomes inaccessible.

To reach this spot, turn makai (towards the sea) from Nimitz Hwy. or Aolele St. onto Lagoon Dr. and follow it until it ends. This location is also accessible by bus: Take route 31 "Kalihi Lagoon Dr" and get off at Lagoon Dr. and Palekona St., then continue walking down Lagoon Dr. to the parking lot.

===Ke'ehi Lagoon Beach Park===

This beach park located near the airport can provide good views of operations. A parking lot at the entrance to the park, next to the tennis courts, provides a good place to watch operations, particularly 8L, 22L, and 22R departures, and 26L, 4L, and 4R arrivals. It is however too distant for photography.

You can also continue down the road through the park to the end, and then walk to the beach. There you can see aircraft departing on 8L and 8R, and arriving on 26L and 26R. Departures will generally be too high, but arrivals, especially for 26R, can be low enough to photograph if you have a long enough lens.

There is a public restroom located in the park, should the need arise.

===Aloha Tower===

The observation deck at the top of Aloha Tower, located in Downtown Honolulu, offers views of the airport, though aircraft will be too distant for photography. Departures on 8R will seem to fly almost straight towards the tower as they lift off, before beginning their right turn.

===Airside Viewing===

Airside viewing and photography is possible in some areas due to the absence of glass in the walkways between the gates. These areas are the breezeways located between gates 11 and 12, 13 and 14, 23 and 24, and 25 and 26. Ramp clutter may be an issue.

==Official Spotting Locations==

===Concourse D Observation Deck===

The observation deck at MSP is located just prior to the Concourse D departure lounge, and is up a flight of stairs marked "Observation Deck", but the stairway and sign are somewhat concealed (it's immediately to your left as you transition from the hallway outside Quizno's to the departure lounge). The deck offers good views of Concourse C, Concourse E, and on Runway 12L/30R, as well as traffic to and from Concourses A, B, and C on the taxiway paralleling Runway 12L/30R. A lens of about 200mm on a 1.6 DSLR should be plenty for just about all operations visible from this location. The observation deck is covered by windows on all sides however.

===Post Road Parking Lot===
The observation deck for those who are ''not'' able to get into the terminal can view 30L/12R operations off Post Road.
From Highway 5: Take the Post Road exit and follow it west past a gas station. The parking lot is on the left.
From I-494/Mall of America: Take the 34th Avenue exit towards the HHH terminal. Go past the terminal and take a left on Post Road.
Spotter notes: There is a large blast fence which blocks the right half of the area. This place is fantastic when 30L is in use as you can get a decent shot of every aircraft landing or departing. When 12R is in use generally you will miss all of the landings as they tend to exit to the left off the runway before they come into a good view.

===Lindbergh Terminal Parking Ramps===
While this option will cost you a few dollars, it gives you a great view of both the 12/30 runways. Drive up to the 8th or 9th floor, and you can walk (or drive) between the different ramps for different views.

==Other Spotting Locations==

===Dog Park ===
===Gate F10===

There are a number of gates at MSP that are generally more photo-friendly than most, due to a number of factors (direction the windows face, availability of windows at certain points in relation to the gate, no adjacent gate, etc..), and Gate F10 is one of these. Generally, photography is good earlier in the day, and a standard zoom is more than enough coverage for stuff at the gate, although a long telephoto could be used to shoot ops on Rwy 30L/12R, and also Taxiways A and A7.
