As others have said, I never thought much of of Airports before (either positive or negative) but the Honolulu Airport is very nice. I usually dread wasting several ours in the airport between flights, but at HNL they are a great way to relax. There central Japanese/Chinese gardens (which are inside of the security check points) are very relaxing. Amazingly there weren't that many people there either, so it was the perfect way to sit and relax in peace and quite listening to the trickle of water and watching the fish. Other aspects of the airport were clean and efficient as well, making my trip through HNL a nice experience.
