Traveling to Hawaii
Transportation from point of
origin to Hawaii is the responsibility of the participant.
Transportation arrangements between Hawaii and the location
of the internship are also the responsibility of the participant.
International airline regulations
for luggage are typically as follows:
- Two (2) large suitcases not exceeding 77
pounds per suitcase, and not exceeding 62 inches total area
per suitcase. (The total area regulation for boxes and items
other than suitcases is also 62 inches.)
- One (1) carry-on bag that will fit under
the seat or in the overhead storage compartment.
These regulations vary slightly depending upon
the airline carrier. For specific information, please contact
your airline. In addition, please indicate your arrival flight
information on the Temporary
Housing Reservation Form and return it to JAIMS.
From Airport to
Hotel
Upon arrival at the Honolulu
International Airport, participants should collect their
baggage and walk out to the curb just outside the baggage
claim area. In order to reach the Waikiki area, participants
may use the Airport
Waikiki Express shuttle (tel: 808-539-9400), which provides
transportation from the airport to any hotel in Waikiki. The
cost of a one-way trip is $8 for adults; no advance reservations
are necessary (two bags maximum per person). Participants
may go to the medial strip across from international arrivals,
and contact the shuttle service staff for assistance.
Transportation by taxi is also
available from the airport to Waikiki for approximately $25,
excluding baggage charges and the customary tip of 10 to 15
percent. It takes about 20 minutes to travel the nine-mile
trip when there is no traffic.
JAIMS business hours are 8:00
am-5:00 pm, Monday-Friday. Participants who arrive in Honolulu
during these hours and would like assistance or directions
may call JAIMS at (808) 395-2314.
