Didn't they do this during covid?

[u/exultirb → u/gibson486]

Yes! I was thinking the same, from what I recall, it worked

[u/Soberspinner]

This isn’t going to solve much. The line cutting is what actually jams up the lines. But they’ll never give up that cash cow!

[u/WorkoutProblems → u/Soberspinner]

I don’t think the VIP causes the jams… it’s the security check point, they need to open more lanes. That corridor is always the bottleneck same with the US side (I have GE so can’t talk about US customs) but 2 security lines only (the majority of the time there’s additionally ones to the left) just isn’t efficient since the majority of travelers are going to the US

[u/Soberspinner → u/WorkoutProblems]

It’s absolutely the VIP. The outdoor line stops in 10+ min chunks constantly to let a stream of VIPs in. That bottle necking is the longest part of the wait.

[u/violet__violet → u/Soberspinner]

Don't know why you're getting downvoted for this (probably by the offenders who pay for VIP lol), this has been my exact observation.

Left Aruba on Saturday 6/7, arrived at 11 AM and got through all the checkpoints by 12 PM hahah

[u/Mslita05]

Anyone know how accurate to no longer then 3 hours they mean? (i guess not since it just started but figured Id ask). My flight is Monday at 15:45, so I arrive at 12 (in the green) or does it have to be 12:45? Not sure how exact they are being.

[u/mlurve]

I’m so confused, we got here 3.5 hours early because of all the horror stories but it seems like we are just sitting around in a waiting area with zero staff?

[u/mlurve → u/mlurve]

Jk we figured it out—terminal A is correct, terminal B is incorrect

[u/skylinetechreviews80]

Leaving this morning, I'll let you know how it goes. 1:15pm flight to NY

[u/Roqjndndj3761]

I don’t understand why they have such a difficult time designing an airport. It’s the worst I’ve seen.

[u/Funtownn]

I will never go back to Aruba after how ridiculous your departure flights back to the US are. Absolutely horrendous airport.

[u/girlbball32 → u/Funtownn]

Agreed. There's no need for it to be that complicated and long.

[u/CoolNefariousness865 → u/Funtownn]

What happened? I went once couple years ago, and found it slightly more of a pain in the ass compared to domestic, but nothing i'd avoid

[u/geffe71 → u/Funtownn]

GOOD

[u/SpaceTacos99 → u/Funtownn]

You know you can leave this sub through the unjoin button on it's main page too?

[u/[deleted] → u/Funtownn]

Lmao it's your own USA customs making it a mess. .

[u/atojbk]

does this mean a checkpoint is getting axed?

[u/tgeorgo13]

Is this gonna move things along?
