## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Remember that the walk to the aircraft is on the tarmac — sunglasses and a hat are wise choices in the Caribbean sun.
- _Time_: Ensure you’re early for key flights to Providenciales or Miami; the single terminal can fill rapidly, reducing your comfort while waiting.
- _Avoid_: With limited food options inside the terminal, plan to eat in Cockburn Town or bring your own snacks.
- _Local_: Cash, particularly small USD bills, is king — come prepared for taxis and incidentals.
- _Quiet_: Consider the Grand Turk Airport Lounge for relaxation away from the crowd for $30.
- _Money_: Avoid assumptions about public transport; taxis are the mainstay, so ensure cash on hand.
