Pago Pago International Airport — Local services in Tualauta County

So this airport is probably the only one that I know of that would have family members hang out at the airport until the passengers who are leaving the island leaves. Which I think is great and love it! Anyways, check in to Hawaiian Airlines starts at the morning 8am to 4pm and then opens back up at 6pm till closing. There are small shops at the airport but can be quite expensive. Bathrooms have been upgraded and it's not so spooky anymore.

The airport shop was open so I bought a T Shirt with a Samoa motive. Wish I could have stayed longer. As we were leaving the captain requested a tug to push us away from the gate. The reply was we don't have any as we should have parked parallel. Oops so the pilots had to carefully use reverse thrust to back up. Luckily we made it and carried on...

Flights to Hawaii three days a week for the busy summer months, and only twice a week during the rest of the year. Daily flights to neighbouring Western Samoa on Talofa Airways and Polynesian Airlines (now known as Samoa Airways). Parking is a flat rate of $3 a day. There is a money changer here, and also little shops selling snacks, gifts and beverages. Small and simple airport, well...
