Daniel K. Inouye International Airport

Yeah.

On 9 October 2012, the Department of Transportation security report said Transportation Security Administration screeners routinely failed to check bags for explosives at Honolulu International Airport.

It said inspectors found, quote, "A lack of effective and consistent supervision of TSA screeners by their managers, as well as an inconsistent adherence to operating procedures." End quote.

Wow.

Um, and I, and I do stand by what I said.

The Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is one of the worst airports in the nation.

I am, I am...

Even though I haven't gone to any of the East Coast ones We gotta modernize, people.

I, I, I should give that credit.

Every airport pretty much around the country, there is a plug next to your seat.

But apparently now, apparent- well, not now, forever, it's, like, impossible to have that at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.

Why we haven't modernized is beyond me.

They were next to last in the US airport survey.

I don't enjoy saying anything bad about Honolulu International Airport, Daniel Inouye International Airport.

I don't.

But I do agree with this.

Hawaiian and Alaska Airlines are providing more explanation for their new check-in deadline, which starts tomorrow.

Our Dylan Enchaut is at HNL with the new rules.

Aloha from the inter-island check-in point for Hawaiian Airlines.

Travelers who have reservations coming up this weekend and in the near future, you folks are being advised to anticipate some changes when arriving to the airport.

This is several years ago.

And what happened after the plane took off, Honolulu Airport reported to the pilot that he'd blown the tires on the front of the aircraft.

What happened is the pilot decided to keep flying all the way to Port Norrisby, which he did, right? And then when we came in, we did a lapse and all the emergency vehicles were there.

And then when he came down and he landed, he landed on the back wheels and we were all sitting up at about, what, 45 degrees or whatever it was.

That meant cutting 24 main cabin seats per flight and converting 12 more into higher tiers.

Other new offerings, a 13,000 square foot lounge in Terminal 1 at Honolulu Airport, and priority check-in and security line bypass for Titanium and Suites guests.

And guests can soon decide how they earn rewards points based on distance, spend, or segments traveled.

The changes don't lower prices for inter-island flyers, but Hawaiian Airlines CEO Diana Birkett Rocco says they'll indirectly benefit.

So they didn't task us with Y2K, because how could you task that? That's too broad of a...

Like, Y2K, what's going to happen? They tasked us with Honolulu Airport on January 2nd.

Would the airport be running? We did one of those.

Remember, guys? Edward, you were there.

And as for CB Lansing, the ocean never gave her back.

But if you visit the Honolulu airport today, you will find a beautiful memorial garden planted in her honor.

It is a quiet place beneath the expansive Hawaiian sky where she spent her life making people feel safe, a sky that eventually claimed her.

It leaves us with a lingering question, one that every investigator and engineer has to sit with in the quiet moments of this profession.

And even though the airport is reporting winds of 22 miles an hour.

There are gusts at the Honolulu Airport in excess of 30 miles an hour already.

So this is what we've got.

Hurricane winds from the storm extend out some 45 miles.

What they're calling for from officials.

Have you made your holiday travel plans? As we know, your experience at the airport can make or break your trip.

Mm.

Results from a flyer satisfaction study [frog croaking] and where Honolulu's airport ranks, we're gonna tell you that.

Well, at least no cookie frogs there.

[laughs]

Memorial services have been announced for Honolulu firefighter John Mercer East.

The 23-year-old from Ewa Beach was a motorcyclist who was killed in Tuesday's crash on the H-1 Freeway.
