Lynden Pindling International Airport

Lynden Pindling International Airport is about 14 km (8.7 miles) west of downtown Nassau on New Providence island. The drive to the Prince George Wharf area takes about 20 minutes without traffic, following West Bay Street and John F. Kennedy Drive. Traffic around downtown can lengthen the trip at busy times.

Paradise Island is about 14 miles from Lynden Pindling International Airport, and the drive takes roughly 25 to 30 minutes. The route crosses one of the bridges from Nassau to Paradise Island, and taxis add the bridge toll to the zone fare. Traffic near downtown Nassau can make the trip longer.

Lynden Pindling International Airport has three terminals within walking distance of each other. The U.S. Departures Terminal handles flights to the United States, the International & Domestic Departures Terminal handles other international and domestic departures plus domestic arrivals, and the International Arrivals Terminal receives all international flights.

Yes. The U.S. Departures Terminal has a US Customs and Border Protection preclearance facility, so you complete US immigration and customs in Nassau before boarding and arrive in the United States as a domestic passenger. Global Entry, Mobile Passport Control, Automated Passport Control kiosks and TSA PreCheck are available.

US carriers at Nassau include American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, JetBlue, United Airlines, Southwest Airlines and Frontier Airlines. Air Canada, WestJet and Porter Airlines fly to Canada, British Airways to London, and Copa Airlines to Panama City. Bahamasair and Western Air connect Nassau with the Family Islands, and Bahamasair also flies to Florida.

Taxis wait outside each terminal and charge set fares by zone rather than using meters. Zones include Cable Beach, downtown Nassau, Paradise Island, Lyford Cay and South Ocean. Fares are based on two passengers, with extra charges for additional passengers, more than two bags and oversized items. Not every taxi accepts cards.

Nassau has public buses called jitneys that run in downtown Nassau and along Cable Beach, paid with exact change when you get off. The official tourism board does not list jitney service from the airport, so most visitors use a taxi, hotel shuttle, pre-booked transfer or rental car to leave the airport.

No. Uber and Lyft do not operate in Nassau or on Paradise Island, according to the Nassau Paradise Island Promotion Board. Arriving travelers use the zone-fare taxis outside the terminals, a pre-booked private transfer, a hotel shuttle where offered, or a rental car from one of the companies at the airport.

No. The Bahamas eliminated its Travel Health Visa in June 2022. Visitors need a valid passport and complete the immigration and customs forms on arrival. In May 2026 The Bahamas began piloting a digital arrival card on selected flights, while the paper process remains in place for everyone else.

Cable Beach lies along the north shore between the airport and downtown Nassau, and it is one of the set taxi zones from the airport, so the fare is fixed before you leave. Some Cable Beach resorts also run airport shuttles for guests, and pre-booked transfers and rental cars are other options.

The Bahamian dollar is pegged at par with the US dollar, and US dollars are widely accepted in Nassau, so many visitors do not change money. Nassau uses Eastern Time, UTC−5, and observes daylight saving time, moving to UTC−4 from March to November, the same as New York and Miami.

Lynden Pindling International Airport is operated by the Nassau Airport Development Company (NAD), a government-owned company. It handled a record 4.06 million passengers in fiscal year 2023–24, which ran from July 2023 to June 2024. About 2.86 million of them were travelers on flights to and from the United States.
