Providenciales International Airport

I echo what most reviewers have to say. This airport is small but mighty. The load/unload areas are small and feverish yet efficient. Arriving through customs was easy and going through security on departure was smooth too. Even with getting randomly pulled to watch our suitcase get additional screening (it was the Eagles luggage tag….) the process was easy and smooth. I’d second that if you don’t get upstairs quick enough, it fills up! Also semi annoying with two young kids, two strollers and four bags not having an elevator was a bit tough. Coolest part of the experience for the kids was unloading/loading out on the tarmac and then waiting for departure and sitting outside watching our plane land and taxi up to the “gate”. Random gift shops food/drink prices didn’t seem outrageous to me like some suggest. Had a spirited conversation outside the airport awaiting to check in with United of someone who was asking to see our passports. He looked very sus and I asked to see credentials. He laughed it off and did check out. Hope to make my way back here sooner than later!

Nothing state of the art at the airport, however, it functions efficiently. It’s a tiny airport with daily flights from all over the world. 1) The check can be tedious and time-consuming, as it is a small airport. 2) The waiting area is tiny and will be crammed. Don’t go expecting room to sit. You might have to stand and wait. 3)There are really only about 3 gates. 4) There’s a lounge upstairs. 5) The duty free shop carries an extensive collection of local and foreign beverages and items. 6) There are also inter-island flights to the other habitable islands like North Caicos and Grand Turk. This airport is a tiny engine but it does the job. The workers are pleasant and friendly. The customs officers are fierce but funny. Overall experience here, painless. P.S. Make sure to have a designated driver or hotel jitney pickup, as hailing a cab on this tiny island from the airport can cost you upwards of $100. ROBBERY!

it's a small airport and it's expected that is not going to be as stellar as bigger hub airports. Overall a very efficient airport, great staff, sticks to the basics and does the basics well

It’s a small airport, and you can definitely tell once you’re inside. There’s not a lot of seating, so you better hope your flight doesn’t get delayed because space fills up fast. There also aren’t many food or shopping options, so grab a bite before you get there if you can. The check-in line can get long, especially during busy travel times, but overall the process moves along. I’ve never had any issues with security, and the staff have always been friendly and helpful. All in all, it’s a small island airport simple and functional, but don’t expect much in terms of comfort or amenities.

Great airport. Has incredibly improved. When landing you de-plane from either the front or back of the plane right on to the tarmac. Then you walk through a nice new covered wall way to T & C customs. Customs is much improved and efficient with lots of agents working.

Very small airport with limited shops and limited seating. Security is very relaxed and lineups on a Saturday were quick. I had my boarding passes on my phone and I was told airport staff they do not accept digital boarding passes so I had to go to the kiosk to print them out. My flight was leaving at 1:30pm and I arrived at noon. I was through security in 5 min. Almost wished I had arrived much later as I had an hour to kill prior to boarding. This airport is much better than the Aruba airport that is so chaotic. This island is incredible! I only removed stars because I had nowhere to sit while waiting for my flight as crowds exceeded available seating .

Super busy on Thursday. A lot of the kiosks were not working. However, the staff were friendly and effective. The washrooms were clean and the announcements clear over the loudspeakers. Check the lines for international security. There are two lines,one left,one right. The left line had 2 x ray machines and moved faster than the right side . We still got through,it just took longer. The free wifi is present and a bit slow.

Its small and people talk bad about it but I don't agree. Everything ran smoothly and this was over Spring Break too. Even the bathroom was well maintained. Only thing different is how you board and deboard the plane. Have to use the stairs.
