TIME IS OF ESSENCE
Although Airports recommend we arrive 2-hours before Departure,  we'll meet at JFK 3-hrs before our Departure. The Night before will be an optional sleep-over at a large Home or Facility, closer to Airport. We recommend sleep-over, but is not mandatory. Check-In, and Inspection  procedures are hefty delays, so please be on time.

PORT-AU-PRINCE HAITI AIRPORT
When we land and enter the Airport, do not leave the inside of Airport by yourself or without permission. You will be mobbed by Beggars. We will leave the Airport as a Team, in a single-file, stopping for no one, talking to no one outside the group except, with our Haitian Drivers, Porters and Security. We will walk right to the Bus, hand luggage to the Porters and immediately step into the Bus and stay there. Do not leave without permission.
