Lines at security and departure immigration can exceed 60 minutes, especially around midday departures. - _Local_: Experience the "unofficial lounge" by relaxing at Sandy Beach before your flight for one last tropical escape with a rum punch and swim. - _Avoid_: UVF's only ATM can be unreliable. Withdraw cash in Vieux Fort or at your resort to avoid the possibility of a nonfunctional machine. - _Insider_: Don't depend on UVF's dining for a meal — eat before you arrive, especially during high season when delays and limited options prevail. - _Quiet_: General aviation and private flight passengers should use Signature Aviation FBO for calmer processing; main terminal queues can be avoided entirely with FBO arrangements. - _Money_: Consider booking northern island transfers in advance — it's a 1.5-2 hour journey, and scheduled services can save time and money. - _Quiet_: The main terminal's Stone Age air conditioning can be oppressive. Seek respite by waiting in the landside area until close to boarding. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
