🏢 Terminal Guide & Navigation
Kahului Airport (OGG) is Maui's primary aviation gateway, featuring a single terminal building cleverly divided into two functional areas. The main terminal houses gates 1-39, split between north (gates 17-39) and south (gates 1-16) concourses, serving mainland and international flights plus larger inter-island aircraft. A separate commuter terminal, located 500 feet away, handles gates 1-2 for smaller inter-island carriers like Mokulele Airlines.
The terminal's ground level contains ticketing counters, USDA agricultural inspection stations (mandatory for mainland-bound passengers), and baggage claim areas. All passengers pass through a centralized security checkpoint located between the main and commuter terminals, after which all gates are accessible via walking. The secure area features local restaurants, Hawaiian-themed retail shops, and the Hawaiian Airlines Premier Club lounge near gate 17.
As a hub for Hawaiian Airlines and major gateway for tourism to Maui, the terminal efficiently processes over 7 million passengers annually. The facility's open-air design incorporates natural ventilation and Hawaiian architectural elements, creating a distinctive island atmosphere. Despite handling significant traffic volumes, particularly on the heavily-traveled Honolulu-Kahului corridor, the terminal maintains relatively smooth operations with walking times of 6-10 minutes to the furthest gates.

💡 Connection Tips
Kahului Airport (OGG) is located 3 miles east of central Kahului, with multiple ground transportation options readily available. Ten major car rental companies operate from a convenient on-site facility connected by shuttle from baggage claim. Resort shuttles and private transfer services should be pre-arranged, with pickup coordination at the ground transportation area. Agricultural inspection for mainland departures can add 15-20 minutes to check-in time, so arrive 2 hours early for domestic mainland flights and 3 hours for international departures.
The designated ride-share pickup area for Uber and Lyft is located at the median between Terminal 1 and 2, clearly marked with signage. During peak season (December-April and June-August), advance reservations are essential as vehicles sell out quickly. Many hotels in Wailea and Kaanapali offer shuttle services for a fee.
Traditional taxis queue at designated stands outside baggage claim, with metered fares to popular destinations: approximately $35-45 to Wailea, $50-60 to Kaanapali, and $15-20 to central Kahului. The Maui Bus Route 35 Haiku Islander provides limited public transportation to Kahului town center for $2, though service is infrequent and not suitable for travelers with substantial luggage. For inter-island connections, allow minimum 45 minutes between flights during peak times, though the centralized security checkpoint helps streamline transfers.
