Took a taxi to HNL since we were in a hurry and it cost about $12. Caught flight to Big Island and then when we came back through we decided to try the bus back to Hickam. From baggage you just go out the exit, get on the elevator to the 2nd floor, follow the signs to valet parking, go out the door and there is the bus terminal. #19 takes you on base and it is $2.25 per person. We got dropped right by the lodging registration building. Had two big backpacks but it was no problem as the bus was not at all crowded. Worked great!   Jeff Glanzer Intermediate Member Username: Jlglanzer Post Number: 134 Registered: 04-2007 Posted From: 205.188.116.208 Posted on Thursday, February 18, 2010 - 11:32 pm:    Jean, hopefully you are in Hawaii by now. Would be interested to hear what you found as the best way to get from HNL to Hickam. Others may need the info also.

However there is little ridership between Hickam and the airport, so the driver's are more lax on luggage. Tell the driver you are just going to the airport, he will most likley overlook more bags. Also, if you have a medicare card the bus is only $1.   Jean Vargas Junior Member Username: Hartmanj Post Number: 6 Registered: 01-2010 Posted From: 207.104.148.68 Posted on Monday, February 15, 2010 - 02:04 pm:    Jeff, we are Cat 6 on a budget and so are always looking for our cheapest options. Will take a taxi if need be. We are sitting in the Pax terminal at Travis right now and have been manifested on a flight to Hickam for this morning. We went to Hickam space A a couple of years ago but just spent our time in Oahu. This time we have friends to stay with on the Big Island so that's why we are working on how to get to Honolulu airport. Thanks for everybody's help!   Bill Ward Senior Member Username: Dualrated2 Post Number: 664 Registered: 08-2003 Posted From: 76.169.178.107 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 08:53 pm:    Mike, You are correct. It is now out the front door and to the right.   Mike Senior Member Username: Immerfertig Post Number: 1917 Registered: 01-2007 Posted From: 75.132.183.184 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 08:45 pm:    Just a minor point in reference to John D's statement "You can catch the bus approx 200 yds from the terminal." When I was at Hickam a couple years ago the bus stop was indeed about 200 yds away as you went LEFT out the front door of the terminal. However, when I was at Hickam in Nov 09, I noticed the bus stop had moved to almost directly in front of the terminal, just slightly to the RIGHT as you came out the front door. I would say no more than 50 yds away. Am I wrong about the bus stop location? I don't get to Hickam that often and was just wondering. _   Jesse Hinson Advanced Member Username: Seagull Post Number: 238 Registered: 08-2007 Posted From: 173.198.87.203 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 06:19 pm:    Sign in the terminal-no cars until further notice, Enterprise at PH may have a rental. Call before hand. Enterprise told Jess very high prices at the airport. So, check out your options before hand.

Why not just get a cab at the Airport. Baggage on TheBus is a problem.   John D.

There are also links to the bus schedule and current fares and discounts (exact change needed).   Lester Green Advanced Member Username: Rtgreen5 Post Number: 256 Registered: 03-2007 Posted From: 69.143.222.224 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 04:49 pm:    Linda: I believe the bus mentioned is number 19. You can also rent a car at Honolulu Airport and drive to Hickam, and if it is a Hertz rental, you can turn it in at the terminal on base when the contract is up as they have a drop box there. Enterprise is on the Navy side of the base, but the car cannot be turned in at the terminal, but at their office. Enterprise has a pickup policy but I don't know the current status of this arrangement at Pearl Harbor. You can always call them directly for information.   Paul B.

It waits there for about 20/25 minutes before starting it's trip retracing its route back to the airport & downtown Waikki. No problem putting baggage on the bus between the airport & terminal in either direction.   Jean Vargas New member Username: Hartmanj Post Number: 4 Registered: 01-2010 Posted From: 63.173.58.222 Posted on Sunday, February 14, 2010 - 11:48 am:    Timely info for us since we hope to arrive from Travis tomorrow - thanks! My question is: Where is the bus stop at Hickam? Near the gate?   John D.
