Where should we meet for a pickup at HNL?
HNL private pickup happens at active-loading curbs outside ground-level baggage claim. Terminal 1, Terminal 2, international-arrivals, and Terminal 3 paths are not interchangeable, so the passenger should identify the terminal plus a baggage-claim or lobby marker before the driver enters the airport loop.
