Advertiser Staff
The state Department of Transportation reminds travelers that Hawai'i's commercial airports will become increasingly busy this week through the beginning of April due to the spring break holiday travel season.While additional parking at all state airports will be made available, air travelers are still advised to be dropped off or picked up, or to use taxis, airport shuttles or other means of transportation. Because of limited parking and larger crowds, travelers are encouraged to add an additional 45 minutes to their airport arrival times in addition to the recommended two-hour preflight arrival time.
