Once Upon A Time, Booking Your Stay with Hotels Near OGG Airport Meant Getting Picked Up In An Unusual Way

Airport codes are taking the world-obsessed-with-acronyms by storm! LAX, JFK, ORD, chances are if you're a traveler, these immediately invoke Los Angeles International Airport, Chicago's O'Hare, or New York's Kennedy. Here's a fun one that may be off your "radar:" OGG. It's the code that you want to type in to your preferred travel search site, something like hotels near OGG airport, will do... that's right, it's in Hawaii! It seemed odd that OGG would be an airport code in the tropical archipelago, after all, it's in Maui and called the Kahului Airport. Something more along the lines of "mahalo international airport" seems more fitting, are you with me? Well, perhaps. Until you know the origin.

The airport code was chosen to honor a pilot that was once very important to the region. A fellow that is regarded as a founding father of air travel in the islands. A gentleman named Bertram Hogg (that's pronounced "Hoag" for those in the know). In his day, Mr. Hogg would fly amphibious planes landing near the island, right in the ocean, and people on the island would canoe out to the plane and paddle the tourists to the island. Luckily, there's no canoe trip required when deplaning any longer when you stay in hotels near OGG airport, but the legend harkens back to a few popular TV shows from the late 80's. And we love the idea. So now you have a little history lesson. A detail that you can add to your cocktail party repertoire when you finally decide to take that vacation to a Maui island hotel.
