## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Spend time in the cultural gardens between Terminals 1 and 2 for a nature break; shaded paths offer a serene experience just minutes from most gates.
- _Time_: During a transfer between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, the Wiki Wiki shuttle can save you 10-15 minutes—pick it up at level 3 by the Plumeria Lounge.
- _Avoid_: Evening flights from Terminal 2 often see overcrowded power outlets; carry a small power strip and use outlets by the garden-seating areas.
- _Local_: Before heading to the airport, grab island snacks from town for a more authentic taste than the chain-heavy options post-security.
- _Quiet_: Garden Court contract lounges, such as the IASS, often have better availability than the major airline clubs.
- _Money_: The Plumeria Lounge in Terminal 1 offers better meals and drinks compared to the food courts. Time your arrival early to catch their offerings.
- _Insider_: For military travelers, the USO near baggage claim is praised for its showers and service, making it a superior pit stop before red-eye flights.
- _Quiet_: Visit the lanai-style areas between Terminals 1 and 2 for excellent plane-spotting opportunities.
