"I arrived in Honolulu at 9:00pm with an onward international connection at 5:30am. Too cheap to get a hotel I decided to spend the night at the airport. I am a member of the United Airlines lounge, so I headed over there (diamond head concourse - gates 6-11) to kill a few hours and have a snack before the lounge closed at 10:30pm (11:30pm beginning November '11.)
It's interesting to note that unlike much of the airport which is open air, the diamond head concourse is air-conditioned. I personally found it rather chilly.
TSA staff I spoke with informed me that the main security checkpoint was open 24 hours and that they did not close the airside of the airport, although many of the shops closed down at 10:00pm, and the remainder at midnight. The airside Starbucks is open 24 hours.
After checking out of the UA lounge, I headed to the outdoor Japanese style garden which is located airside.
The garden has many 6' benches which although made of concrete are great for stretching out on. I also found the sound of water to be quite relaxing - there were signs requesting that people stay off of the grass. I slept for several hours on a bench before being awakened by a light rain.
I made my way indoors and crashed in a lay-z-boy style massage chair located beside my gate. I didn't see another person until an hour or so before my flight when the gate area started filling up."

Honolulu Accomodations
- Park Shore Waikiki - I recommend this hotel as a good, inexpensive hotel on the beach. This is where I stay when I go to Honolulu. The hotel is no frills and rooms are small, BUT for location, views and price you cannot beat this hotel. Request high level floor and avoid low floor rooms numbered x21-x24.
