Getting Around AVP Airport
AVP Airport features a single passenger terminal, simplifying your navigation through the facility. The terminal is structured with two main levels: the lower level includes Gates 1 and 2, while Gates 3 through 8 are located on the upper level. This straightforward layout aids in a seamless transition from check-in to gate.
Here are some tips for getting around inside the terminal:
- Elevators and escalators are available to help you move between the two levels. If you're unsure where these are, look for signage or ask airport staff for assistance.
- Gate assignments can sometimes change, so it's a good idea to check the information screens scattered throughout the terminal upon arrival for the latest updates.
- Walking times between gates are generally short due to the compact nature of the terminal, making it easier to get to your gate on time even with last-minute gate changes.
