![]() These will have been handed out by the flight attendants. Check that each member of your party has completed and signed the Immigration form. If you have any disability, or are travelling with young children, inform one of the airport staff as you may be given priority. Be prepared for a long wait at Immigration. Having disembarked from your aircraft, your first view of Tobago will be a very short walk across the tarmac to the terminal building. It is important to remember to do this to avoid delays at the Immigration desk on arrival. In addition, the head of the family (male or female) must complete the reverse of the arrivals form. A form needs to be completed by each passenger. Passengers arriving on international flights will have been given a T&T immigration entry form by the airline's cabin staff. It is, unfortunately, a very different story for passengers arriving directly into Tobago on international flights. So, their domestic flight arrival in Tobago will be a swift process with no formalities. Passengers arriving from Trinidad will have cleared customs and immigration at Piarco airport. Noise is therefore never an issue, even when staying at hotels immediately adjacent to the airport. This equates to roughly one landing or take-off every 30 minuts. The airport handles less than 10 international flights per week. ![]() Tobago airport handles about 30 flights a day, most of which are airbridge flights from Trinidad and other regional services utilising relatively small aircraft. ![]() Typical driving times from the airport to popular holiday destinations, such as Castara, are about 45/50 minutes. Most of these will be within a 15/20-minute drive of the airport. The area between Crown Point and Scarborough is home to more than 80% of Tobago's population and most of the hotels and other holiday accommodation. The capital of Tobago, Scarborough, is 8 miles away. The airport is located in Crown Point, the south-western tip of Tobago. This was previously known as Crown Point InternationalĪirport but renamed in 2011, to honour a Tobagonian ex-Prime Minster of Trinidad Tobago's only airport is the ANR Robinson InternationalĪirport (code TAB). Hotels in Port of Spain are not really suitable for overnight stays as Piarco airport is around 18 miles (30km) from central Port of Spain and traffic conditions can make this an onerous journey. Visitor recommendations indicate that the Regent Star Hotel and Holiday Inn Express are worthy of consideration for this purpose. Visitors arriving at POS on international flights in the late evening, or with departures in the early morning, are strongly recommended to save a lot of stress by staying overnight at one of the Piarco hotels. Airbridge flights operate every 20 minutes or so and Caribbean are normally very helpful when it comes to putting overseas arrivals who have missed their scheduled transfer on the next available flight. Visitors arriving in POS on international flights should allow 2-3 hours between their estimated time of arrival in POS and the departure of their airbridge flight to Tobago. Caribbean Airlines operate an airbridge service between Piarco International Airport (POS) in Trinidad and Tobago's A.N.R.Robinson International Airport (TAB) in Tobago.
