Lihue Airport (LIH) terminal guide

Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii PHLI #79 US airport by passengers

How LIH is laid out and how to move between buildings.

Terminals at LIH

Main terminal

An open-air, mostly unwalled building with ticket counters, check-in, baggage claim and the security checkpoint. Two baggage carousels sit next to each other.

Gate areas

Gate areas are served by a central checkpoint that leads to gates 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 and 9-10. The Hawaiian Premier Club is near Gate 5.

Cargo and commuter buildings

Separate buildings used for cargo and commuter flights. A temporary pedestrian walkway connected them during 2026 road work.

Moving between terminals

LIH has one main passenger terminal, so there is no transfer between buildings. Walk to your gate area after the central checkpoint.
