No. Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport is not open 24 hours. The passenger terminal closes nightly after the final scheduled flight operation (around 9:00 pm) and reopens at 6:00 am, meaning overnight stays inside the terminal are not permitted. Travelers with early morning flights or overnight layovers should reserve a room at a nearby hotel in Basseterre or Frigate Bay.
The main transport option is taking an official taxi outside arrivals. Fares are fixed by destination zone and regulated by the airport authority, posted on signs in both EC$ and USD. Travel to Basseterre takes 5 to 10 minutes, and trips to Frigate Bay take 10 to 15 minutes. Pre-booked private resort transfers are also widely available.
There is no road link between the two islands. You must take a taxi from the airport to either the Basseterre ferry terminal or to the Sea Bridge / Major's Bay pier in the southeast peninsula, where scheduled passenger ferries and water taxis make the crossing to Nevis in 15 to 45 minutes.
Yes, complimentary Wi-Fi access is provided throughout public and boarding areas of the commercial passenger terminal.
The airport hosts the KayanJet boutique VIP lounge and private terminal next door, which can be booked in advance by commercial passengers for a fee. However, there are no lounges participating in independent card networks such as Priority Pass.
Yes, Thrifty operates a counter inside arrivals, while other suppliers (such as Avis, Hertz, and Bullseye) provide vehicle delivery directly in the terminal parking lot for pre-booked rentals. Remember that driving is on the left, and a temporary local driving permit is mandatory.
No, luggage storage or left-luggage lockers are not offered at Robert L. Bradshaw Airport due to security regulations.
