ANU · Antigua gateway with one Priority Pass lounge (Executive Lounge Gate 1, 11:00–18:00, 4.0) featuring an outdoor deck. Strong daytime product; evening long-hauls often miss PP hours. Walk-in officially USD 65 / 3h.
SKB · Robert L. Bradshaw International (SKB/TKPK) is the compact, almost entirely international gateway to St Kitts and the usual long-haul route to Nevis. It has one SCASPA-run terminal and handled 317,618 passengers in 2024. Links include American via Miami year-round (twice daily in peak winter 2026/27), seasonal Delta, United, American, JetBlue and Air Canada flights from the US north-east and Toronto, British Airways from Gatwick via Antigua, and island hops on Winair and InterCaribbean. Navigation is easy, regulated taxi fares are clear and the eTA is mandatory. Airside food is thin and the only lounge is KayanJet's paid private terminal.
