Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

Terminals

Confirm terminal before you chase a lounge

HAV is multi-terminal. Secondary guides place international traffic mainly in Terminal 3; Terminal 2 also appears for some flights.

No Priority Pass index — do not assume a PP pin exists.

Lounges

No Priority Pass lounges listed

prioritypass.com had no HAV lounge index on research day. Secondary pay-at-door VIP mentions exist but fees conflict.

Truth over completeness: lounge rows omitted until first-party or PP confirmation.

Arrival

Plan airside time without a PP room

Budget seats, airline status products, or walk-up VIP only after confirming price and hours on site.

Do not rely on conflicting secondary USD quotes.

Watch-out

Food and retail are limited vs Caribbean peers

Secondary guides describe limited F&B — bring water after security if allowed.

No authoritative bottled-water tariff fetched → omit purchase prices.

Live conditions

Right now at HAV

Security waits and operational status from official feeds, where the airport publishes them.

Honest verdict

Who this airport works for

Best for

Travelers who already confirmed airline status or walk-up VIP on site
Passengers who verified terminal and documentation before departure

Watch out for

No Priority Pass lounges listed for HAV
Multi-terminal — easy to go to the wrong building
Secondary VIP USD fees conflict — do not trust blog prices
Visa / tourist-card rules omitted here — confirm live
No published MCT or security wait minutes
