# Leonard M. Thompson International Airport (MHH) > Marsh Harbour, BS · approximately 3 km (2 mi) from Marsh Harbour Web: https://airport.flights/airport/mhh JSON: https://airport.flights/api/airport/mhh.json ## Facts - **IATA**: MHH - **ICAO**: MYAM - **Timezone**: America/Nassau - **Runways**: 1 - **Terminals**: 1 ## Overview ## Welcome Leonard M. Thompson International Airport (MHH) is not your typical international airport; it's more like a polished out-island airstrip in the Bahamas. Frequent travelers here often find the staff know them by face, embracing the island's relaxed charm within its single modern terminal. Serving primarily American Eagle, Bahamasair, and Delta Connection, MHH combines minimal frills with a touch of personal service. Despite its size, the airport offers a Priority Pass lounge, making it a somewhat surprising amenity for this Bahamian gateway. ## At a glance - **Passengers per year:** Not available - **Runways:** 1 - **Terminals:** Main passenger terminal - **Airlines:** American Eagle, Bahamasair, Delta Connection - **Distance to Marsh Harbour:** Approximately 3 km (2 mi) ## Terminals & layout The airport features a single passenger terminal incorporating Bahamian cultural design elements that are quite polished for a structure of its size. The $30 million investment in the terminal gives it a surprisingly slick appearance, resembling a boutique resort more than a rural island airport. For private and charter flyers, Cherokee Aviation offers an FBO lounge, providing comfort and attentive service away from the main terminal. ## Getting to and from the city Traveling between the airport and Marsh Harbour is straightforward. Local taxis charge a flat rate of $15-25 depending on the destination, with a journey time of 5-15 minutes. Hotel and marina shuttles provide similar services, often at slightly lower cost for groups. Renting a car can also be convenient; expect to pay $60-80 per day plus insurance. However, be prepared for a brief paperwork process lasting about 10-20 minutes when picking up your vehicle. ## Traveller essentials While the terminal is modern, it's important to note that operation feels informal, and bottlenecks can occur during peak flight times. Wi-Fi is available, albeit unreliable during busy periods, so downloading entertainment ahead of your trip is advisable. There is no official airport website, so for real-time information, contacting the main terminal or Cherokee Aviation FBO directly is recommended. ## Dining & shopping highlights Dining options are limited to Skyview Airport Lounge and Main Terminal Café. Frequent visitors suggest eating at local spots like Curly Tails or Shay Café before arriving at the airport. Shopping is limited but unique, focusing on Abaco-themed souvenirs and beach gear at the Airport Souvenir Shop and Beach Essentials Kiosk. ## Lounges Skyview Airport Lounge, accessible with a Priority Pass, provides air-conditioning, Wi-Fi, and comfortable seating—a rarity for an out-island airport. It aligns its hours with the main daytime departure bank. For those flying private or on charters, Cherokee Aviation's FBO lounge offers a more premium and quieter space. ## Insider tips - **Insider**: The Skyview Airport Lounge is your top choice for comfort in the terminal—it's easy to miss but worth seeking out. - **Time**: Arrive earlier than typical for a small airport; lines can build quickly, especially before Florida/Nassau flights. - **Local**: Opt to dine in Marsh Harbour at Curly Tails or Shay Café before heading to the airport, where selections are limited. - **Quiet**: Cherokee Aviation’s FBO lounge offers a quieter and more comfortable option if flying private. - **Money**: Coordinating shuttles through your hotel or marina can be more economical for groups than multiple taxis. - **Avoid**: Relying solely on airport Wi-Fi for important tasks is risky; download what you need in advance. ## Terminals (1) - **Main passenger terminal** — American Eagle, Bahamasair, Delta Connection, Flamingo Air ## Dining (2) - **Main Terminal Café** - **Skyview Airport Lounge** ## Lounges (2) - **Cherokee Aviation FBO Lounge** — General aviation, FBO access - **Skyview Airport Lounge** — Terminal, Priority Pass and paid entry ## Shops (2) - **Airport Souvenir Shop** - **Beach Essentials Kiosk** ## Parking (2) - **Public Parking Area** — Surface lot - **Terminal Curbside Dropoff** — Short stay ## Ground transport (3) - **Hotel and Marina Shuttles** — Road · About 5-10 min from MHH to Abaco Beach Resort or marinas when using hotel/marina shuttle [Google reviews and TripAdvisor guest reports] · Commonly quoted as comparable to or slightly under a taxi for 2+ people (e.g., group-of-six transfer cheaper than two taxis) [TripAdvisor Abaco Beach Resort reviews] - **Local Taxi Service** — Road · 5-15 min from MHH to Marsh Harbour / ferry docks depending on traffic [CruisersForum Abaco logistics thread] · $15-25 from MHH to Marsh Harbour town or marinas for 1–2 people (flat, cash) [TripAdvisor Marsh Harbour taxi fare discussion] - **Rental Cars** — On-site agencies · Airport handover is usually described as 10-20 min for paperwork and vehicle inspection before you drive off [TripAdvisor Marsh Harbour rental car reports] · Trip reports cite typical local rentals on Abaco in the ballpark of US$60-80 per day plus insurance, depending on season and vehicle type [TripAdvisor Abaco car rental threads] ## Insider tips - _Insider_: The Skyview Airport Lounge is your top choice for comfort in the terminal—it's easy to miss but worth seeking out. - _Time_: Arrive earlier than typical for a small airport; lines can build quickly, especially before Florida/Nassau flights. - _Local_: Opt to dine in Marsh Harbour at Curly Tails or Shay Café before heading to the airport, where selections are limited. - _Quiet_: Cherokee Aviation’s FBO lounge offers a quieter and more comfortable option if flying private. - _Money_: Coordinating shuttles through your hotel or marina can be more economical for groups than multiple taxis. - _Avoid_: Relying solely on airport Wi-Fi for important tasks is risky; download what you need in advance.
