Getting to Aruba!
Airlines
Aruba's state-of-the-art airport facility is the result of a multimillion dollar renovation and expansion project that has established the Queen Beatrix International Airport as a hub in the Caribbean. The island is served by a number of airlines, and connections can be made to any part of the world. U.S.-bound passengers benefit from their own terminal building that houses a U.S. Immigration/Customs facility, allowing flights from Aruba to enter the U.S. as domestic flights.For U.S. bound passengers the PFC (departure tax) is US $36.75 (usually included in the price of your ticket) and for international bound passengers the PFC (departure tax) is US $33.50. If in Aruba on transit for less than 24 hours, these charges are waived. Visitors can leave the airport and return freely within those hours. Children under 2 years of age do not pay the Aruba Departure Tax.
