I have been once to this airport, as others said, the place is tiny, I wonder how it looks when BA and Virgin
are around. Boarding into small propeller planes is already a mess, they search your bags at the boarding
area even though you have already had your carry-on x-rayed.

I have used Crown Point airport 5 times over the last 6 years and each time I return I pray
the airport service has improved. Unfortunately this has not been the case. Customer Service
remains a missing module from the staff training. I can only imagine that much training is
dedicated to being rude and unhelpful to the weary travellers. The security staff appear to be
on a mission on to be as difficult possible, searching everyone irrelevant it the metal
detector beeps or not. And the words please and thank you devoid from their vocabulary. On my
last departure from Crown Point (and it will be my last) two international flights were due to
leave within 2 hours of each other. The duty free had no cigarettes and the alcohol was
extremely limited. The cafe (charging inflated prices) had no sandwiches and were ill prepared
for the demand. Two staff took 5 mins to serve one person with 1 bottle of water. The ladies
toilets has three cubicles, and a queue to match a bank holiday sale in Harrods. I strongly
recommend the management of Crown Point visit somewhere like Thailand to see how you can be
efficient and polite. Crown Point International Airport I think not. Good luck if you use it
to depart from, you will need it with lots and lots of patience.

Arriving at the airport was quick and easy. However, trying to leave the island is difficult
is not extremely unpleasant. The few shops in the departure lounge were closed when we got
through customs. Even though we had plenty of time and were the only 2 people waiting, they
would not let us go downstairs and get any food or water. They were rude and made it
perfectly clear they were annoyed with us. On top of that, they kept telling us to stay on
one side of the departure area. Just make sure you get whatever food/drink/souvenirs you want
before going upstairs to the departure gate.

Outdated, tiny airport. If a large plane is either disembarking or embarking the facilities are
stretched beyond capacity. The staff are not properly trained and often rude. The Caribbean Airlines
flights to Trinidad can be a hit and miss affair and if one if using Tobago Crown Point to transfer
from an international flight to a Trinidad bound flight, or vice versa, be prepared to be told that
your flight is overbooked, delayed, cancelled.

I flew into and out of Crown Point from Frankfurt, once flew out of of Tobago to Trinidad and on two
other occasions tried to do just that without success. The airport is very small, mostly handling
flights from and to Trinidad. There are very few amenities inside, but most of the crucial ones on
the concourse just outside (ATM, fast food etc.). The staff at migrations and customs upon arrival
was friendly and helpful, but flying from Crown Point proved an utter nightmare on two occasions.
While international flights are handled relatively smoothly, the staff dealing with the short-haul
Caribbean Airlines trips to Trinidad was exceptionally incompetent and unhelpful. Several flights
were cancelled and at no point were passengers informed of this fact. Time and again long queues
formed at the check-in counter, which none of the about ten people standing behind this counter
believed necessary to attend, for three (!) hours. When asked to provide even the most essential
information on which to base a decision, staff would still not inform us about the cancellation of
the flight. In the end, we spent one entire day at this airport without being able to fly. By far
the most shocking airport experience I have had in many years of travelling, compounded by
unbelievably rude and unqualified staff. My only advice is to take the ferry when travelling from
Tobago to Trinidad.
