Which terminal

Hewanorra International Airport is one of Vieux Fort's main airports and may have more than one terminal. Check the arrival terminal on their booking or in the airline's app before you set off, and put it in your Greet.

Where to wait

Put the exact spot in your Greet. Your guest sees it on their phone from the moment they land at UVF, even without signal.

  • Inside the arrivals hall, a few metres back from the doors passengers come through.
  • At one landmark you can both name: a numbered exit, a café sign or the information desk.
  • Not right at the barrier, where everyone crowds and nobody can see past the first row.

International arrivals go through passport control and customs before the arrivals hall. Domestic flights within Saint Lucia are usually much quicker.
