The V.I. Port Authority on Tuesday issued an advisory for travelers, warning of potential processing delays at the Henry E. Rohlsen Airport (STX) on St. Croix due to increased travel volumes following the holiday season.
VIPA urges passengers to arrive at the airport at least three hours prior to their flight's scheduled departure. This early arrival is recommended to ensure ample time for travelers to undergo pre-clearance screenings.
VIPA's advisory comes as many travelers are returning home or continuing their journeys after participating in the post-holiday festivals on St. Croix. The expected surge in airport traffic is likely to cause longer than usual wait times during processing. To mitigate any inconvenience, VIPA emphasizes the importance of early arrival at the airport.
Additionally, VIPA advises travelers to stay informed about their flight status by directly contacting their airlines. Checking with airlines for the latest updates on flight schedules can help travelers make necessary arrangements and avoid potential delays.
VIPA’s notice aims to enhance the travel experience for passengers by ensuring they are prepared for the increased activity at Rohlsen Airport during this busy travel period.
