Important Notice Re LPIA Arrival Time

Hotels: Please Help Guests to Avoid Missed Flights and Inconvenience.

Departing visitors should continue to be advised to arrive at the LPIA airport 3 hours prior to departure during peak airport traffic periods between 9:30 and 3:30.
 
While improvements have been made since the US terminal’s opening in correcting initial problems with baggage systems and new systems by airlines, security, and preclearance personnel, travelers should still allow for sufficient time, particularly over the coming weeks as we experience our highest traffic volumes during the past several years.
 
For US-bound travelers arriving from the family islands, please inform guests that there is a shuttle available at the domestic terminal entrance (next to Wendy’s) which runs continuously and will take them to the us terminal.
 
Airport stakeholders are continuing to work on refinements to the process.  Travelers unfamiliar with the Bahamas should be reminded that LPIA is a US pre-clearance facility.  Once they have been cleared in Nassau there are no further formalities once they arrive at their US destination.
