Few flights to Kaua'i are direct and on Hawaiian it's either via Honolulu or via Maui. I prefer Maui just because it's a smaller and thus easier to navigate airport and closer connection.
Also the food here in the airport isn't bad; at Honolulu, for all its size, I have not found a decent meal there yet. At Sammy's Grill (Sammy Hagar) the Beach Salad with Chimichurri dressing was good and there's a full bar.
I'm sitting in the central waiting area people watching. Mostly tourists with locals cruising through from time to time. There are several shops - local goods, T-shirts etc. mostly and a Starbucks in addition to Sammy's and a small food court.
When the airport navigation system was being installed after the war, Jim Hogg (chief pilot for Hawaiian airlines), flew so many test flights they decided to name the installation after him. The three-letter-code he modestly chose this catchy variant on his own name: OGG, which is easier to remember than the city name Kahului for me at least. If you don't fly direct, via OGG may be your best option.
