The airport offers US Customs pre-clearance and handles all international flights to and from Bermuda.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know that the public bus stop is a short walk from the terminal, but buses are not suited for large suitcases—use a taxi or pre-booked shuttle if you have checked bags.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are available outside the terminal and use fixed zone-based fares to Hamilton and resorts; public buses also serve the airport but have limited luggage space. Rental cars are not available to visitors in Bermuda, so rely on taxis, hotel shuttles, buses, or ferries. If flying to the US, allow extra time for pre-clearance, especially during peak morning departures.
