When I was in Oahu last October, we stayed at the Renaissance Waikiki - it's at the far end of the Waikiki beach. It was a lot calmer than other areas, and we had a beautiful ocean view from the 23rd floor. I feel your pain about trying to cram everything in - I was only there for 4 days, and we didn't get to do everything. Diamond Head is VERY cool - BUT - It will be hot as hell - don't make the hike if you don't plan to carry water... they've had to lift people of it before.
As far as airlines, I would check online through the FAA - there should be registered air companies, and they may have a website somewhere for you to check out.
