Arriving in Nassau
Lynden Pindling International on New Providence is the Bahamas' main airport, 16 km west of downtown Nassau. Taxis to Nassau and Paradise Island cost $30–$45 (fixed government rates). The route from US East Coast cities is heavily seasonal — peak winter demand (December–April) keeps fares high, with much cheaper shoulder windows in May–June and September–October when hurricane season risk pushes rates down.
