cruzer Traveler C Joined: May 2008 Posts: 693 Lake Texoma, Texas	Originally Posted by CaribbeanCanadians My wife and I departed on February 9th for a 4:10PM departure time. We arrived three hours early and we're really glad we did. It took quite a while to check in, get through immigration again and then security. Why immigration again we don't know but it just slowed things down. I would definitely arrive three hours early. This airport doesn't operate the way it used to before Irma and Covid. How long before your flight did you finally get into the boarding area?

Depending some on the day of the week of travel, that is why 3 hours is usually recommended. J.D.

I can't believe it's been six years and still not completed considering this airport is their bread and butter for tourism. The cruise ship port has got their act together.
