Traveling to Nassau

Lynden Pindling International Airport (NAS) is Nassau’s main airport. It is located just 6 miles from The Grand Hyatt. To learn more about transportation to The Grand Hyatt please click, HERE. There are options for private and public transportation but to really experience all that Nassau offers you should consider reserving a rental car in advance from Lynden Pindling International Airport. Special meeting discounts on airfare and car rentals have been arranged for our attendees and their guests that you may find helpful to use.

When departing: Nassau Airport is a US Immigration Preclearance Facility. When flying out of LPIA, if you’re U.S. bound you’ll conveniently clear Customs and Immigration on the ground in Nassau. That’s because LPIA is a U.S. pre-clearance facility. LPIA also has the convenience of Automated Passport Control (APC) kiosks for faster processing through U.S. Customs. Arrive at the airport a bit early and you land in the US like you’ve gotten off of a domestic flight. Preclearance is convenient for passengers who will be connecting — it reduces stress wondering if you’ll miss your connection, and it allows for shorter connecting time.
