Flights from Caribbean Islands to the United States: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Caribbean Islands to the United States 
ScarlettFlew with Bahamasair-Aug 2026
Bring snack and treats for yourself and kiddos. Ensure you have ample time to get to terminal at least 2 hours to be safe
LarissaFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2026
It's a very small airline terminal and getting there early is imperative because it's very small not everybody gets to go into the boarding lounge at one time so you'll be spending a lot of time standing in the line. Get your coffee and something to eat before you go into the security line they do have snacks and drinks available to buy once you pass security but they're just shelf stable crackers and such.

Be patient island people are not in a hurry. Avoids hurricane season be sure your luggage is not overweight
LeahFlew with JetBlue-Jul 2026
The AC in the second gate area (where gate 15 is located) doesn't work—be prepared to wait in the other area or bring a fan.
Verified travelerFlew with Frontier-Apr 2026
Bring food to eat in airport and on plane. There was a delay so it came in handy and eliminated need to buy expensive airport food. However, make sure to eat or discard food like meats and fruits before arriving in USA security.
KierriaFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2026
Pack as many snacks as you can! Also, make sure your phone is fully charged before going to the airport. Plugs and outlets to charge phones and devices are hard to come by.
JoseFlew with Frontier-Apr 2026
San Juan airport is just like any other airport, just remember to do the agricultural inspection thing, but only usually take like an extra 10 minutes.
JoelFlew with JetBlue-Apr 2026
Be there early to your flight. Flight usually leaving Santiago leave on time or a bit early.
MilagrosFlew with JetBlue-Mar 2026
Change policy, let the passengers know that boarding will be done by alfphabets from now on so other passengers do not skip because when they all jump at one time that delays flight departure.. Put cushion on the damn seats 4 hrs sitting is terrible on the buns & backs. Delta does that and it goes so smoothly.
Verified travelerFlew with American Airlines-May 2026
In JFK the bags are taken off the belt be you finish immigration. An announcement should be made to say location instead of wasting time at the baggage belt waiting.
RichardFlew with Spirit Airlines-Dec 2025
Make sure you eat before you fly as there are no places to rest anything. Too cramp on the plane. Everything else is fine
JasmaryFlew with Spirit Airlines-Feb 2026
I would advice passengers to bring their own snack as most items are out of stock
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2026
Mostly everything in the airport closes at 5pm in Aruba.
Ramon EmmanuelFlew with Spirit Airlines-Sep 2025
Make sure to have long periods between connecting flights
AlexisFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2025
Go early to the airport. Pay for your baggage early to get a discount.
JeffFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2025
Plan in delays. Local St John airport security is very slow. Try to get earliest possible flight out to allow for delays and still get home in a reasonable time.
RogerFlew with American Airlines-Apr 2025
Get something to eat before you leave and have something on the plane because they only give you a cup of juice and 2 ginger biscuits on the flight
Verified travelerFlew with Frontier-Mar 2025
Bring your own snacks because everything on the flight including a can a soda cost money.
slovely08Flew with JetBlue-Dec 2024
Be prepared for long security times, you have to clear customs in Aruba, and there can be a substantial line if you get there at the wrong time. They tell you to be there 3 hours early for a reason.
DanineFlew with Delta-Feb 2025
Arrive early. Pack light if you can. The airport is small and you may not have immediate seating available.
VictoriaFlew with JetBlue-Feb 2025
Make sure to get passport checked by gate before lining up. They did not announce it and the boarding process was chaotic.
CatherineFlew with Delta-Nov 2024
You clear US Immigration, TSA and customs before your flight from Nassau so when you arrive in the US you can go straight to your connecting flight - or leave the airport if that is your final destination. Easy!
Verified travelerFlew with Silver Airways-Jun 2024
You are better to fly out of Nassau. Take a small puddle jumper or the ferry to Nassau and you have your choice of many large airlines.
MichaelFlew with Caribbean Airlines-Aug 2024
Arrive early to give yourself time to browse Duty Free etc.
Jose AFlew with American Airlines-Aug 2024
Those flights are always full. Don’t bring to much carry on items
RobFlew with Silver Airways-May 2024
You better have at least five hours in between when your flight is expected to arrive from marsh Harbor and Fort Lauderdale to have any chance of making any connecting flights from Fort Lauderdale to another destination.
VickieFlew with Spirit Airlines-May 2024
If you have a lengthy vacation Spirit may not be the best since you can only take 40 lbs in your checked bag.
LionelFlew with Delta-May 2024
Well arrive on time because at the SJU airport theres only one TSA area to get in
JeffreyFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2024
Eat before flight; no food provided or sold on board this 3+ hour flight.
ElinicFlew with United Airlines-May 2024
Complete all your documents prior getting to the airport
VictoriaFlew with American Airlines-Mar 2024
Only fly Delta, Canada Air, or British Airways to T&Cs. Never book flights for Saturday and Sunday. If at all possible schedule your departure in the morning, not in the afternoon. Note that the staff in T&Cs is struggling and the facilities are awful. Do not expect to have power outlets or wifi. The only airconditioned "terminal" is upstairs. Go straight there and grab a seat as soon as you get through security. Don't eat the pre-made food from the convenience stores, order from Gilleys. The owner's son for Gilleys' restaurant is amazing. Delta's staff is amazing. Everyone else is miserable and hateful. Best of luck.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Apr 2024
Bring your own snacks and water; you have to pay a lot of money for their low-quality food. Download media to your device ahead of time, or bring a book so you don’t have to pay for the overpriced WiFi.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2024
If you wanna eat something in Domino’s Pizza or Wendy’s in Montego Bay airport, you have to spend at least 30-35 min in line, be prepared
JodiFlew with Sun Country Air-Jan 2024
the Wifi never works to watch movies on your own device so be sure to download them to your device before-hand.
KatherineFlew with JetBlue-Jan 2024
Go to the airport with time ahead to avoid inconvenience
HervinFlew with Caribbean Airlines-Dec 2023
Reduce size and amount of carry-on luggage, While in Trinidad please stay close to Gate, boarding may begin with any announcement, While you're in transit for less than 3hrs.and not leaving the transit area passengers are being rough up by customs and security.
Verified travelerFlew with Spirit Airlines-Jan 2024
The flight is 3 hours and 19 minutes long. I would not fly Spirit unless you are willing to incur the additional charges for either extra wide seating or bulkhead seating.

My flight from Atlanta to Oklahoma City was delayed multiple times. I ended up arriving in Oklahoma City nearly two hours later at around 1:50 am the following morning. This was a highly disappointing experience.

My flight from Atlanta to Oklahoma City was delayed multiple times. I ended up arriving in Oklahoma City nearly two hours later at around 1:50 am the following morning. This was a highly disappointing experience.

My Delta flight 2423 from Atlanta to Oklahoma City got delayed multiple times. It was originally scheduled to depart at 10:41 pm EST with a 11:58 pm CST arrival in Oklahoma City. However, after multiple delays, the flight finally departed Atlanta at around 12:40 am and arrived in Oklahoma City at around 1:50 am. What was even more disappointing was that none of the crew members acknowledged, let alone apologize, for the delays. These delays were not due to weather and were only due to operational/mechanical issues on the part of Delta. As a former Platinum SkyMiles member, I valued loyalty with Delta. However, after having similar experiences in the recent past, I'll be switching my loyalty over to American Airlines going forward. This was a highly disappointing experience.

Love Delta. I'll take connections to stay on Delta even if another airline has a direct flight.

The main issue was the quantity of the drink. The hostess gave only half cup full of the soft drink. I was thirsty and was expecting full glass like every other time.

Delta always provides stellar service. I am always impressed and will try my best to travel via Delta if I can afford it.

Amazing, delta One is extraordinary. Worth the money. They took our bags at the door when our driver dropped Us off at Heathrow.. the Virgin CLUBHOUSE lounge was wonderful and the flight was great. Service food our little pod all near perfect.

This flight was the flight we missed due to deltas delay at our first airport going TO Atlanta.

In-flight: great! Efficient & comfortable, no complaints. On the ground: quite the opposite. The flight was delayed with no real explanation. If you can fly direct with Delta that's your best bet. Connecting flights with them when one is delayed, especially if the next flight is to a small airport, really was a mess. They did correct the problem with no cost to us, but it made getting home a 24 hr journey instead of 8. Also, staff at the gate at Minneapolis was NOT kind at all.

Wi-fi was out for the whole flight. I pay a premium to fly Delta because it has wifi and because it was out I didn’t get to work on anything I wanted to. I’ll have to make it up later this week by spending less time with my family.

I enjoyed the whole flight and the crew was amazing i dont usually fly delta

I need to note that this flight experience was generally fine but the boarding situation was absolutely a mess and there wasn’t any actual priority boarding. I rated the experience poorly because I’m am genuinely so frustrated with the crew on United taking the baggage space in first class. This flight it didn’t happen, but the last few flights (when I ironically don’t get an opportunity to provide feedback) have been spoiled because upon entering the first class cabin as one of the first few seated passengers, the overhead bins are full and ‘crew’’ tags are on the bags of those taking space. I don’t intend to infer some sort of a class or caste system but it’s absolutely ridiculous that the crew takes the overhead storage above and beyond their most loyal and lucrative customers. They should not even have economy space IMO. And I’ve gotten grief when I’ve noted to the crew the ridiculousness of the notion that the crew (who are the last off the plane) should have priority over flyers who pay. I hope you find a way to convey this message to United because it’s happening with increasing frequency and I intend to find a way to expose the specific crew members who are doing this on a flight by flight basis. (And I have a day job)

I had bad experience with United airline. No live rep, they only have AI that respond to customers concern

Great flight and crew. Need more legroom and DO NOT allow seats to recline.

Flight and crew were great. Need more legroom and do not allow seats to recline.

Bathrooms broken, Wifi not working, Direct TV stuck in a United credit card loop for whole flight

We arrived to Chicago nearly 30 minutes early, which was great, but then was on the ground for over an hour because the gate was not available. The issue I had was the pilot estimation was frustrating. First he said he was informed it would be 20 minutes but he said "it will probably be more like 10 minutes". After 30 minutes he came back on the comm and said it would be another 10 minutes, maybe 20. I understand he was only giving estimates but he also layered in his own gut feel. We were never told why we didn't have a gate even after our scheduled entry.

Just sat on the run way after we arrived early

New Max 10, first class seats have been shrunk. End of a 20 hour journey, it was United not Lufthansa, just glad to get home

The Code Share with Air Canada was not very streamlined. I had to check in at airport (not online) on the outbound and return flights

Worst boarding experience, flight extremely delayed causing super tight connect and deplaning was a disaster as ppl were pushing and shoving to get off. Then after flying over 8 hours had to get off a job to next flight. Limited beverage service in Business class (water or white wine) no food. The plane was very cold (temperature) so uncomfortable

The boarding agent and checked bag agent were both rude. It only takes a second to be kind. However, the flight crew was amazing. I got a turkey sandwich and it wasn't bad---not great but not bad. The internet was my biggest problem. This was a work trip and I REALLY needed the internet to meet a deadline but it didn't work for 80% of the trip. Very disappointing.

I tried to check in beforehand from Ireland. The Jet Blue website sent me to the Aer Lingus website and vice versa. I tried to get a boarding pass at Dublin Airport as well, but they said they couldn't help me either. I had to wait until I arrived at the gate in Boston to secure a boarding pass...it was a bit nerve wracking.

Great flight. Best in years. Very clean craft. Easy boarding. Communicative pilot. Friendly flight attendants. Absolutely smooth take off, in flight and landing. Very comfortable seats. Smoothest flight I've experienced in years. THANK YOU JET BLUE!

I was asked to pony up an additional $239 (over the $735 paid originally) for a one way middle seat, which was very uncomfortable. Where did you expect me to sit?

Jet Blue sevice was good. Just don't understand why they charge for earphones to listen to flight entertainment. Other than that, everything was excellent.

The whole experience at the airport in Istanbul should be made known beforehand. Four passport checks and a huge check-in line as I could not check in online made it a very lengthy and frustrating experience. The flights on Turkish Airlines however were just fine.

Mostly good, flight take off in time and land earlier I can’t ask for more..

The crew was not nice this time. I asked for a drink one time and the girl didn’t say anything to me and just got me the hot drink while walking super fast to the back. We were sitting in the back and she wasn’t doing anything except socializing. She was upset I asked for something and she had to do her job. I also didn’t fully have it in my hands when she handed it to me so it was dangerous. She was abrupt and rude. She wouldn’t allow for people to spread out like previous flights we had been on if they were empty, and there were empty rows. It was strange and she enjoyed being angry at us.

The plane was FREEZING COLD. Like I was wishing I'd brought gloves. Is this how JetBlue sells more blankets? Other than that, all fine. Crew just as nice as usual. A flight attendant asked (who? The pilot?) to have the air turned down for a great number of passengers who were as cold as I was. They (again -- who is "they") did not.

Flight was fine, but I was annoyed to have to pay for luggage again. We had paid for our luggage on our first two connecting flights with SATA Azores Airlines, but had to pay for luggage again with JetBlue at JFK airport. For one trip we paid over $500 for two suitcases to travel from Azores to San Francisco.

Cabin staff were very disengaged, spoke with no eye contact, dismissive. Disappointing compared to my United experiences.

awful delay, awful communication, zero updates throughout the experience of a giant delay

It was decent, there was no WiFi on the flight but the FA’s gave everyone a warning once we boarded the plane. Unfortunately it didn't give me enough time to download my entertainment content.

On Time. AA is late due to maintenance all the time.

Seats were very tight for a 17 hour flight. Baby cried for 15 out of 17 hours.

The seat configuration was insane. Horrible. Had to jump over sleeping people to go the bathroom. The food was the best we’ve had in any Business class.

Our plane was delayed for an hour because they had the wrong tow truck that pulls the plane out of the gate. An hour late just to find the right vehicle that pushes the plane out of the gate area! The delay made us barely make our connecting flight but of course our luggage didn’t make it. So no luggage when we arrived at our destination.

Flight attendant super rude demanding I remove my carry on baggage from overhead and place under seat. I stated I am an ADA passenger and need the leg room as the seats are very tight. That’s why I boarded early for the extra time to get situated. She said, we need the space. I replied “How can that be as only a few passengers have boarded so far? I am executive platinum status so I understand the rules and you are discriminating against ADA federal law. Please stop”. Her answer… then you should find another flight! Not ok. Addressed with senior flight attendant. So unprofessional and discriminatory.

Perfect from check in at the airport to the flight all staff were very friendly The plane was nice and clean and modern Because I’m here in the UK to visit my Dad who’s critically ill the details of me getting here were very important and nice to see staff being pleasant and professional

Both departure and return flights had mechanical delays. Their planes are antiquated resulting in a two hour flight taking almost four hours to complete.

They don’t offer food on the flight just water but when arrived on time and landed perfectly

They could give you a snack or at least something to drink during the flight. The flight was also delayed.

Poor poor, airline people are rude unfriendly and unhelpful, they need to be trained to be customer friendly and gelpful

I love bahamasair safety always blown away. They made my fears from travel so much better. Bahamasair #1 Highly recommend We don't just fly here. We live here Pilots and crew keep up the good work.

4 hour delay Noisy passengers Tight seats Missed connecting flight in Ft. Lauderdale

We were scheduled to travel at 12pm. The flight got delayed with no updates until 11:30am. They advised that we will receive an update at 1pm. However, the flight was then delayed until 6pm with no clear indication as to if that was the departure time. It was NOT! They decided to combine two of their scheduled flights into one due to the smaller number of passengers. If you do not wish to be inconvenienced, “STAY AWAY FROM THIS AIRLINE”!!!!!!They do have a track record of this!

Very courteous staff at the gate and excellent assistance with my needs as a handicapped person on board. The flight itself was uncomfortable, with tight seating and seats they don’t recline, so be aware. The aircraft itself is old and worn, and it shook a lot and made a lot of noise, especially upon takeoff and at landing. But, hey it’s a short flight and it got me back home to Florida safely, so….

I feel that I was scammed by BahamasAir. Both on flights 202 and 207, to and from Nassau - Fort Lauderdale June 2, June 6. I paid for 2 full size bags and selected seats. On both flights they told me I had not paid for luggage or seats. I was charged $100 extra each way without seat assignment. BahamasAir does not participate in TSA Pre Check. Even if you have it you cannot use it. Instead endure long lines because BahamasAir will not pay their share of PreCheck.

Boarding process was smooth and easy. The crew was friendly and communicable and transparent about the delay at the landing destination.

Flight was delayed 7hours due to multiple planes having mechanical issues.
