About Honolulu Airport Lei Greeting
Begin your Oahu arrival with a Honolulu Airport lei greeting, where a friendly greeter meets you near baggage claim with a personalized sign and your selected lei. Choose from classic flower leis, deluxe leis, candy leis, kukui nut leis, ti leaf leis and other options for adults, kids, honeymooners or surprise arrivals.
Begin your vacation with the most time-honored Hawaiian custom: a fragrant flower lei and a warm "aloha" right after you land. A uniformed greeter waits just outside the secured area, prior to baggage claim, holding a sign with the guest name. Your fresh lei is gently placed around your shoulders, a quick photo can be taken, and helpful directions to luggage and ground transport are offered.
Note on Arrival Times
Greeters are available for flights arriving up to 8:00 pm. For later flights the lei will be delivered to your hotel the same evening so you do not miss this special welcome.
