Caribbean Airport of the Year: VC Bird International Airport The airport experience in the Caribbean is, in fact getting better. While it may not seem that way when you’re checking in outdoors in the middle of the summer, or spending an hour on an immigration line, the reality is that some destinations are starting to get it right. And right now, the star of the show is Antigua’s VC Bird International Airport, a truly international-standard airport that’s modern, beautifully designed, comfortable and home to as good of an airport service experience as you’ll find in the region, from check-in to duty free. Here’s hoping it’s a trend that spreads.
