Bermuda International Airport by Bertram Forbes

Bermuda's airport and Bermuda generally could be much more a pleasurable experience if it's government got rid of some nasty aspects of Bermuda for American British, Canadian and European tourists. I refer to the mere $100 in duty-free allowances it offers its own residents, compared to $800 allowed in the USA - and only $35 allowed by Bermuda in duty- free allowances to tourists. These token allowances are cheap and nasty, make the government look greedy and uncaring, are rigorously applied and when residents or visitors bring in more, a 30% duty applies.

I agree, Bermuda's Airport is efficient, clean, and stylish. You exit the Plane (down steps) follow through to an immaculate immigration arrival area. The calypso band is playing soothing music. If you arrive before 11am, your lucky. After 12pm is when about 6 planes roll in 5 minutes apart unloading hundreds of people, beware. Baggage hall area is spotless and the customs is quick! Then your on your way into Beautiful Bermuda.

Like Bermuda itself, this airport is a thoroughly civilized experience - not very busy, so not crowded, with a rather predictable traffic pattern of arrivals and departures. Facilities are very adequate, and the duty-free shop has a reasonable variety, albeit a bit expensive. On entry, customs officials are polite and welcoming. When checking in for our departing flight, the official who had to "pat me down" for a follow-up security check (the machine beeped when I went through) apologized for having to do so, and thanked me for accommodating the security process! All in all, a refreshingly unique experience - one that is, alas, vanishing amid the all-too-common post 9/11 over-zealous and ironically ineffective security measures elsewhere - Bravo to Bermuda and its airport!!
