San Salvador Airport on San Salvador Island, Bahamas, opened in the 1960s and operates from a single small terminal that handles regional and charter traffic; it’s a compact, low‑congestion gateway for visitors heading to Cockburn Town and nearby resorts. The airport is roughly a short 10–15 minute drive from the main town with taxis, resort shuttles and limited public transport providing connections; many travelers route through Nassau for wider international options. Not a major carrier hub, it’s primarily served by Bahamasair, Western Air and seasonal charter operators. Fares for short domestic hops are usually reasonable, though international connections can be pricier.

Cash is straightforward here: there are no exchange counters or ATMs in the terminal, and U.S. dollars are accepted island‑wide at par with the Bahamian dollar. Bring small USD bills and, if you need cash, withdraw in Nassau or in Cockburn Town to avoid high fees and potential lines.
Pick up last‑minute rum, perfume, chocolates, and Bahamian cigars at the small duty‑free counter by the departure lounge—open around international flights and usually cheaper than resort shops. Expect mainstream labels over big‑box variety, with prices a notch below U.S. retail and notably under on‑island stores.
Small but satisfying: a couple of local snack bars and a tiny café-bar serve coffee, sandwiches, and the occasional conch fritter before and after security, with prices just a bit higher than in town. Hours track flight times, so grab something early if you see it.
Help is close at hand: staff in this small, single‑terminal airport can arrange basic first aid in Departures or Arrivals, while taxis outside take you to the island clinic for prescriptions and tests if you need more. Service generally follows the flight schedule, with first‑aid assistance free and clinic visits or medications paid.
No lockers or left‑luggage counter at San Salvador Airport in the Bahamas; arrange a bag hold with your hotel or dive operator instead—often free for guests or about $5–15 per bag per day. Plan ahead, keep valuables with you, and confirm pickup times around flight check‑in windows.
Simple and breezy: one small terminal with a single post-security waiting hall and a few pre-security seats—no dedicated business lounges. Wi‑Fi and outlets are limited, there’s a small café for snacks, no showers, and the terminal closes after the last flight, so plan your rest accordingly.
