Tips when travelling through KOA

At Kona International Airport (KOA), on the Big Island in Hawai, the boarding area is entirely open-air so keep your hat and sunscreen handy
If you have a mid-afternoon arrival at Kona International, get in a window seat with your camera for areal photos instead of signing up for a $300 helicopter island tour
Grab a bag of coffee beans and coconut-infused sugar on your way out – the Big Island farms are known for having great tasting coffee
If you rent a car on the Big Island and stay up north in Waikoloa, remember to fill up on gas in town since the nearest gas station is 5 miles south of the airport
Check airline baggage fees while packing as some inter-island turbo-prop flights to Kona International have very limited baggage capacity
The route from Kona International to most of the Big Island resorts takes you on Queen Kaahumanu Highway through a stark landscape dominated by volcanic soil. A popular tourist tradition is to gather volcanic rocks, paint them white and use them to spell out their names along the highway.
