HDOT wants 2 hours interisland, 3 hours overseas
Statewide visitor guidance is 2 hours for interisland and 3 hours for overseas. USDA bag check sits at the counters before TSA even starts.
Bags on the ground; gates upstairs; Mokulele is a different building
Overseas Terminal arrivals are on the second level; baggage claim is ground level (turn right off the escalator). The commuter terminal is its own curb.
Eat landside at Sammy’s or airside at Stinger Ray’s Gate 23
Sammy’s Beach Bar & Grill (central hall, 10:00–21:30) is the sit-down plate; Stinger Ray’s is the official full kitchen past TSA.
LNY · Small single-terminal interisland airport with scheduled Mokulele service to Honolulu and Kahului and no dedicated airport lounge.
OGG · Maui’s only jetbridge field: USDA on every mainland bag, two snack-only Premier Clubs that actually take Priority Pass, a rental-car tram, and a bus that will not take you to the resorts.
