Argyle International Airport

The main airport in Saint Vincent is Argyle International. Apparently, they built a new terminal a few years ago. It is not impressive at all. Food choices are lousy, hardly any shopping and people who work there are clueless about the needs for frequent travelers. Check in counter staff, for First or Business Class on American Airlines are un knowledgeable. Do they realize that for those of travelers who have paid top dollar (US and not EC), in First and/or Business Class need enhanced service and at least, a lounge. They laughed at me when I asked where it was. But hello, there is a lounge. And guess what? It is a VIP lounge and it is only for Diplomats. Really? So frequent travelers pay, big bucks, to support and travel through here, but it is the politicians who gets the lounge. Gates are chaotic, no orderly departure traffic and announcements are hurried and unclear. Don’t get me wrong. St. Vincent is a stunning island. Lovely people, fantastic food, superb music and that magnetic inviting weather. But this airport needs serious work. Why do we have to pay for these kind of expensive cabin airline tickets to fly in and out of here, when we do not get adequate and high class service?

airport is very easy and people are very nice. if you rent a car you need an international licence available at airport. . Double and triple check Google map routing, we did get to out hotel but not the most direct route.

Argyle International Airport is a wonderful welcome to the Caribbean! The design and decor embrace vibrant, tropical colors that make you feel the island spirit right away. From the murals to local artwork, the decor brings a unique and lively charm to the airport. The staff are friendly, courteous, and quick to offer a smile, making the experience smooth from start to finish. Even during busy times, there was a sense of calm, and everything was well-organized. The airport's layout is traveler-friendly, with clear signage that makes navigating a breeze. Argyle is a great start and end to your stay on these beautiful islands. I look forward to my next trip here!

Nice building with adequate seating in appropriate areas. Well kept. Restrooms reasonably clean. Immigration and security lines adequately staffed, wait time minimal. Shopping is standard with adequate selection of local goods / souvenirs. When we arrived in evening, there was no organization of the taxi process, e.g. tourist-aware airports usually have a person who gives arriving passengers a ticket showing standard taxi fare, which provides some reassurance one is paying the correct cost. Adding this would have made our experience a bit better. Lastly, we came to love St. Vincent, but some passengers may not enjoy seeing Castro and Chávez seemingly glorified inside this airport near the VIP lounge. Yeah maybe they helped develop the airport (?), but do the local leaders understand that displaying this is not going to feel good to some of their visitors? Could you pay your tribute in a different more neutral way? I thought that St. Vincent was trying to promote tourism to help the local economy, if so, might it be better for business to be less transparent on your politics/allies? Thankfully local leaders are at least clever enough to display this only to departing passengers.

Just a few years old, the newly built airport is nice and a huge step up from the previous one...now an international airport with the big carriers now able to fly in and out direct...no need to stop off in Barbados to connect...readily available taxis with plenty of parking, clean and nicely appointed...a 15-20 minutes drive will take you on to the Villa area where there's lots of beachfront and sea views accommodations for all budgets, at first I thought not much is here for an upgraded airport until you head upstairs in the departure lounge for the big aircrafts with boarding bridges, nice shops with duty-free, bar and restaurant with a food court, there's even a higher level for VIP guests, so definitely in line with international standards.

Would of given 5 stars if it wasn't for the food court that sells the roti for 25$. i dont mind paying 25$ I bought 2 chicken roti and none of them had chicken inside, is a big rip off, if anyone sees this review please do not buy the roti there is no chicken inside, its highway robbery. apart from those robbers that making them roti the staff's at the airport are very friendly,and the place is well kept, but an investigation need to be done at that roti shop also not a wide range of food shops,everything is overpriced and very small amount, my suggestion bring a snack to eat while waiting for your flight.

It's a great place bars to hang out, and no matter what time u get there, a taxi is always available to take u where you want, and the price is right and up to date.

Argyle International was a nice modern airport. Very small, the day I departed AIA there were only 5 flights, with 4 going to Barbados. Not much selection on food once you're through security and some items were unavailable. The staff was wonderful and extremely helpful, everyone always had a smile on their face.
