    Escape Lounge by Gate 18 is the only passenger lounge. Live Priority Pass
    lists it 06:00–19:00. No Sky Club, Admirals Club, United Club, or Centurion.
    The 2nd-floor Military Lounge is RIMO / military-ID, not a civilian product

    CLEAR Plus 04:00–18:00 at the one TSA checkpoint. PreCheck yes. Official
    peak banks 05:00–07:00 and 16:00–18:00; RIAC travel tips want two hours for
    06:00–08:00 and 16:00–18:00 departures

      Any other departure: at least one hour. TSA itself only promises “a few
      minutes” off-peak and longer 05:00–07:00 and 16:00–18:00. CLEAR Plus is
      staffed 04:00–18:00 — a 19:00 Southwest is PreCheck or Standard only.

      Wrong concourse is a walk, not a reclear — unlike split-portal fields.
      International arrivals still drop into CBP on the first level and reclear
      TSA upstairs if they connect.
    summary: >-
      Upper-level TSA feeds both concourses. Escape Lounge, Dunkin, Spring
      House, and Saugy are North; Federal Hill and Napatree are South by Gates
      7–8.

      Ignore 2021 “Wolfgang Puck / Providence Provisions” press. Those names are
      not on the current dining page. Last-departure close is real — a 21:30
      bank can find kitchens already dark.
    summary: >-
      Official live list: Federal Hill (South 7–8) and Narragansett Kitchen /

      Pass 06:00–19:00. Not a Sky Club. A 20:00 departure will find it closed.

# Rhode Island T. F. Green International Airport (PVD)
Providence, United States · North America
A genuinely easy New England alternative to Logan — one checkpoint, CLEAR, a real Escape Lounge, $2 buses, and weekday rail in the building — undone by a 19:00 lounge close and a 2026 primary-runway rehab that cut seats.
## Airportist Score

**7.4 / 10**
Weighted sum of the six published categories (no holistic fudge).
- Ease of use (25%): 8.3 — Wayfinding, security wait, and layout.
- Comfort & amenities (20%): 7.1 — Seating, Wi-Fi, cleanliness, and quiet.
- Food & retail (15%): 6.6 — Food and retail quality and variety.
- Ground access (15%): 8.3 — Transit, taxi, and parking to the city.
- Reliability (15%): 6.8 — Delays, cancellations, and weather resilience.
- Lounges (10%): 6.4 — Worth-it density and access quality.

## At a glance

- Passengers: 4.28M (2025)
- Terminals: 1 terminal, North and South concourses
- Typical security: 10 min
- On-time: 79%
- Disruption: minor

## Best for

- Logan refugees who will take a $2 RIPTA or a weekday MBTA train instead of I-90 traffic
- Priority Pass / Amex Platinum holders departing before 19:00
- CLEAR + PreCheck on the 05:00–07:00 bank
- Drivers who will actually use Lot E at the live $22/day, not a 2021 coupon

## Watch out for

- Escape Lounge closes 19:00 — late Breeze and Southwest banks have no lounge
- MBTA from InterLink is weekday-only on the official airport page; Saturday is RIPTA or a car
- Runway 5/23 rehab April–October 2026 (official 19 Mar 2026): airlines shifted to 6,081-ft 16/34; H1 2026 monthly totals ran 1–8% below 2025
- Cabo Verde check-in is 3.5 hours / closes 60 minutes — treat it as an international departure, not a Boston shuttle
