Worth knowing before you fly
- Charter flights need prior permission from the Bahamas authorities (BANSA) at least 48 hours before the flight; private flights do not. Build that lead time into any charter quote.
- Bahamian customs runs around the clock and the main FBOs clear passengers in their own buildings, so arrivals do not go through the airline terminals.
- Arriving passengers need a General Declaration, an immigration card each and valid passports; pets, plants and fruit need a Department of Agriculture permit. The FBO can arrange permits with about one business day's notice.
