The terminals at Nassau Airport
The airport is named after Sir Lynden Oscar Pindling, the first Prime Minister of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, and its own page says it sits just west of the city of Nassau. The Nassau Airport Development Company, a Bahamian company owned by the Government of The Bahamas and managed by Vantage Group, operates it under a 30-year lease, and it is in charge of the terminals, the runways and the parking lots.
Inside the terminal the airport lists the services of the building: the ABM machines for the banking and the currency exchange, a nurse's station, a post office and the Travel and Luggage Centre, where the luggage storage is.
Getting to and from Nassau Airport
The taxis are widely available and wait outside the US, the International and the Domestic terminals, with the fares set by zone and the Bahamas Taxi Cab Union as the contact, so a family that lands late still has a ride into Nassau.
The airport also has the car rentals, the airport transfers and its own parking lots, and the flight information is in the Aerocloud app, so you can see the next arrivals and departures before you reach the baggage belt.
What happens when you arrive at NAS
Keep your passport and any form you filled in on the plane with you the whole way, from the aircraft door to the exit.
On an international arrival you clear immigration, collect your bags and pass through customs, and the luggage storage of the Travel and Luggage Centre is there if the family does not want to carry the bags through the city.
Nassau Airport with children
The airport's own checklist asks the families to pack with the security screening in mind: the liquids, gels, creams and pastes of the carry-on have to be in containers of 3.4 ounces or less, inside one clear bag of a quart, and one bag for each passenger.
The nurse's station of the terminal is a good thing to know about with a small child, and the documents of the children travel in the carry-on bag, not in the checked luggage.
Plan your stop at Nassau Airport
Terminals, airlines and arrival procedures change, so check with the airline and the airport's own site before you travel. And check with the embassy or consulate about the documents your family needs for the entry rules of every country on your route.
