Video: ‘Taking Off’ Walk Through The New Airport
Skyport has released the latest episode of ‘Taking Off’, a video series with host Mikaela Pearman that highlights the airport, with this episode walking you through what to expect at the new airport terminal.
Speaking in the episode, Mikaela Pearman said, “If you’re anything like me, getting on a plane and traveling off the island has been on your mind a lot lately.
“But you haven’t travelled in a while and haven’t been through the new airport terminal. Don’t worry, I’m here to walk you through what to expect.
“If you’re being dropped off, turn onto the terminal entranceway and stick to the left lane and follow the signs to the passenger drop off point [avoiding the barrier gate]. If you’re planning to park and stay a little while, visit the short-term parking lot by sticking to the right lane and following the signs around.
“If you plan to leave your car while you’re away, go around the roundabout as if you’re heading to the old terminal then make a left into the parking lot.
“Once you get up to the terminal, you’ll be asked to show your travel documents in order to enter the building.
“Once inside, make your way to the check-in area for your airline.
“Due to the pandemic, you’ll have to check in via the agents rather than the kiosks.
“If you have checked bags, you can drop them here and then head to security.
“Travelling to the US? You’ll go through security, then through US Customs and Border Protection and finally upstairs to the departure lounges.
“If you’re heading to the UK, you’ll immediately go up to the international lounge after clearing security.
“While you’re upstairs you can grab a bite to eat or do a little shopping while waiting for your flight.
“And when it’s time to board, you’ll enter the aircraft via a passenger boarding bridge instead of walking on the tarmac.”
