Airport Pineapples

[Nursenik]

Hello everyone,

Well, we're flying our tomorrow for a day in oahu prior to our cruise on Celebrity's Infinity. Can't wait!! Someone had mentioned in a past post about buying crates of pineapplesat the airport...Just wondering..how many per crate and what is the cost?

 

Thanks,

Nicole

Don't know off the top of my head -- but when you get to Honolulu International, you may want to have someone run upstairs to departures and check the prices. :) BTW, they're not crates - they're prepackaged boxes.

I know you can get them from the Dole Plantation and Dole will have them waiting at the airport for you in a package. My mom wanted to do it last year, but it was rather expensive.

If you have military privileges, go to an exchange (including Hale Koa in Waikiki). They're MUCH cheaper there.

Ka Honu - Have you tried that? I am thinking about the quality of the fruit vs Dole.

I do it whenever I take pineapples to the mainland. It is Dole - you pay at the exchange and pick up at the airport.

I wish I would have known that last year. What exchange do you do that at? I havent seen anything about it at Schofield.

I know you can at Hickam.

I usually go to Hale Koa (but only because I'm in Waikiki once or twice a week).

Well, at least I know this time so my parents can do that next year when they come out to visit me. Thanks!!!

Just got back from the Infinity from Vancouver to Hawaii. We bought three pineapples at the airport in a carrying case for $ 9.99.

Thanks! Doesn't seem too bad for pricing. (could have been a lot worse! :D)

We just returned also. We were going to buy a case of pineapples have have them shipped back. All the stores in the airport had the 3 pack and the clerk told us that the shipping was more than the pineapples. My DH refused to carry even a 3 pack, so we came back with nothing. They sure were good in Hawaii though. The pineapple on the ship was awful, touch and tasteless.

Just came back Sunday, at the airport they were 3 for 19.99. You can either cary them back or take them to the check in desk and they will check them as luggage for you.

Hmmm ... 3 for $9.99 versus 3 for $19.99 - big difference! I'll have to take a look next week when I'm in the airport.
