    DFS Waikiki has a vast selection of name brand products and a great assortment of Hawaii items. They have redesigned the entire ground floor of this store and the atmosphere is very inviting and decorated nicely. They have sales associates that don't seem too obtrusive if you are browsing. There are clean restrooms and a good coffee shop with spacious seating at the far end of the ground floor.

    They renovated the inside, very nice!

    Is there money exchange in dfs?

    I don't believe they still have the exchange counter open. HOWEVER, there is an exchange place directly across Royal Hawaiian avenue called Pacific Exchange. There is also an exchange counter on the ground floor of the International Marketplace in… Read more

I ended up in this one while killing time before a flight, and was absolutely intrigued by their coffee and tea selection. Seriously! To the exclusion of everything else in the store. I cannot tell you what else they had on their shelves! Whoever curated this selection of locally grown and roasted coffee beans and teas is really doing their job! There are sampler packs of whole bean coffees, and samplers of ground coffees. Coffees from different islands (Kauai, Hawaii) and different roasts of these coffees. There are instants and ready to pour over packs for traveling coffee afficionados. I could've spent an hour just perusing these two shelves! The tea selection is pretty impressive too - different types (black, green, herbal) and tropical flavors (mango, pineapple). Some loose in tins, and others in bags. If you're looking for a last minute gift for that coffee or tea lover on your list, this would be the place to go.

They do have some Hawaiian eats in the airport, or you can get something simple like a sandwich, coffee or smoothie inside. The staff is friendly, bathrooms are clean. I found the ones towards the entrance and exit to be less busy. Security section looked a bit busy, so plan accordingly. Once I got past that, it was smooth sailing to my gate. Renting a car, all car rental services are a 5 min walk across from airport exit, go up some escalators and you're there. I hope this helps for your next trip. ALOHA

But you're not here to linger. I never got to peruse their shops or dine at their eateries as both my arrival and departure times fell out of the scope of normal business hours so no comment on that. Their bathrooms were clean though, although limited. i never realized how much I valued multitude of stalls until I was standing in line after a six-hour flight. I have no qualms flying into or out of Daniel K. Inouye International Airport. It's a solid place that gets you to-and-from.

Felicia was so kind and walked me to the front of the store to look at different beauty blenders that were available aside from the Beauty Blender brand. Another employee also helped me to save $1 (haha) by leading me to a pack of 4 Biodance Korean face masks instead of buying 4 individually. The only downside is that this store can get crowded because the aisles are already narrow. Thank you Felicia!

    Sephora has not taken a direct public political stance on Israel. However, it is owned by LVMH,…read morewhich maintains business ties that include Israeli companies. Sephora also carries certain brands with links to Israel, such as Ahava and Christina Cosmetics. Because of these indirect connections, some consumers choose not to shop there, preferring to avoid contributing--even indirectly--to supply chains they believe are connected to Israel. Israel has been accused of serious human rights violations that are ongoing including war crimes and ongoing occupation (US, Palestine and expanding into Lebanon), which informs those consumer decisions. On a practical level, my experience hasn't justified returning. While the overall product selection is broad, the most popular shades are often unavailable. Testers are frequently dried out and unhygienic. Service is inconsistent, and checkout lines regularly exceed 10-30 minutes. Pricing is also significantly inflated. Comparable products--or effective dupes--can often be found for a fraction of the cost with minimal research. I won't be returning, and I recommend doing your own research on brands before deciding where to spend your money.

There is quite a distance from the gates to baggage check. With the storm being fully active when we landed (late due to delay) with part of the airport passage ways being open air, there was flooding in certain areas between the gates and baggage claim. Our baggage came down rather quickly and we were greeted with Leis & a shuttle to our hotel. Though some of the areas were wet and flooded, this airport is really well run. Even upon our return to head back to the mainland, TSA lines were not outrageous and fairly quick to get through security. One thing we did notice when flying out of this airport was that all carry on baggage must go through an additional xray machine right before boarding, this is an agriculture check - which takes boarding the plane take slightly longer than other airports. Even with the added step getting through the airport was a breeze.

    Hawaiian Airlines is the worst airline organization I have ever seen in my entire life. I will…read morestand by that statement until the day I die. I have traveled across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa. I have flown to more countries than I can count. I've gone through airports with insecure systems, airports where absolutely zero English was spoken, and somehow still managed to check my bags and get my items where they needed to go. This is not a personal opinion. This is a fact based on experience. Hawaiian Airlines is the most disorganized airline I have ever seen in my life, and honestly, I could see them going out of business. As you can see from the pictures, there is absolutely nobody assisting customers. I don't know if they are short-staffed because they refuse to hire people or refuse to pay decent wages, but nobody is there to help because the employees themselves appear overwhelmed with responsibility. Secondly, you have to wait in a completely separate line just to get your bags tagged. If the system fails and doesn't allow you to check in properly, you have to restart the entire process from the beginning. Then, after finally tagging your bags, there is another completely separate line just to drop the bags off. If something goes wrong again, you are sent all the way back to the beginning. It makes absolutely no sense. You know the system where you get your bag tag and boarding pass, then drop your bags? The system used by 99.9% of airlines? I assume Hawaiian Airlines leadership said, "I have an idea. I'm going to make this whole system complicated and confusing for my customers." There are multiple breakdowns in this entire process. You have five employees running back and forth trying to help move bags, but only one main line that splits into two checkpoints for customers trying to check in. Instead of having workers properly stationed at counters assisting customers with bag weighing and bag drop, they have thousands of kiosks with nobody available to help anyone use them. Customers are left standing around trying to figure out broken computer systems that do not scan properly, do not recognize confirmation codes, and constantly fail during check-in. It is a complete mess. I will say this: the flight attendants were very nice, the plane itself was wonderful, and the staff assisting once I finally made it to the front were helpful. But the entire experience beforehand was unnecessarily complicated for absolutely no reason. There are actual classes and professional systems dedicated to organization and customer flow, and Hawaiian Airlines would greatly benefit from them because they are completely failing in this aspect. Lastly, Hawaiian Airlines needs to get its shit together.

I must say in Terminal 2, the terminal appears to have more eateries, as well as larger clean restrooms. It definitely had more shops & eateries as well. Before I flew out to Dallas, I wasn't sure if my flight would have a in-flight meal so while I was walking around Terminal 2, I just so happened to find a food court. I would say that the food court in Terminal 2 wasn't very large, as the food court only featured (4) vendors - Panda Express, California Pizza Kitchen, Burger King, & Little Fish Poke. Not too many choices, but if you're hungry, at least you're able to get some sort of cheap eats from the food court. While waiting for my flight, Terminal 2 could use a bump in charging stations to meet today's folks needs. I guess HNL is always a few steps behind?

    Shopping in the Kalihi area…read more.. This was truly an adventure. I give credit to Donna O. for suggesting that I look for face masks here... haha! Thanks, Donna! Located on the School Street (where it's a one-way direction near Liliha Street), C U Market is a small, cluttered, neighborhood convenience store. It has a variety of goods such as caps, pipes, refrigerated beverages, canned goods, etc. I was mainly looking for face masks, so I asked the cashier. I don't know if she couldn't hear me through the plexiglass, so I repeated myself, pointed at some face masks on display, and made hand gestures. She produced a box of masks after I didn't want the puple mask with floral Hawaiian print. I had mentioned "purple" Lakers face mask and also said, "Basketball team". She had a blank look on her face. So - when she brought out the second box of face masks, we went through it and I found two Lakers masks! I asked her if I could have both for $20 (the price tag on each ziplock bag was $10.99). She calculated both masks with tax and wouldn't lower the price. Shucks! I walked around the shop to think it over and took a few photos. In the meantime, customers came in to purchase alcoholic beverages. Hmmm... it was before noon - just saying... lol! I was glad that I didn't bring my mom or my friends feom the mainland here... haha! I decided to get the face mask even though I had seen one at Ohana Hale Marketplace for $8. It was this past Sunday - Kobe Bryant's birthday - and the salesperson said, "Last one..." Ack! My fault... I should have gotten it. Well... I had driven all the way here, found a covered free parking space in front of the store (because the barber shop next door was closed due to the new StayAtHome Order), and Ohana Hale Marketplace will be closed for at least the next two weeks... sigh... So, yes... after much deliberation, I got one of the masks. Then I backed my car out into School Street, around a silver car parked illegally, and blocking the way... his passenger came out of the shop with a six-pack of beer... Note: they also have lanyard type of gadgets (for $1.99 + tax) to clip onto your face mask so you can dangle the face mask around your neck while eating, etc.
