Oranjestad, (unassigned)

Self-service kiosks here are for U.S. flights only — check in, print bag tags and use the Self-Bag Drop, which the airport limits to U.S.-bound passengers. Online or app check-in opens 24 hours out. Access to this hall is limited to 3 hours before your scheduled departure under the airport’s passenger-flow system, and that window is set by your ORIGINAL scheduled time even if the flight is later delayed.

After the security checkpoint, U.S.-bound travelers continue to U.S. Customs and Border Protection — a second passport and customs control, right there in Aruba — before reaching the gate. The CBP counter runs 9:00 AM–6:00 PM daily. Once cleared, you land at your U.S. destination as a domestic passenger, with no further customs or immigration check on arrival.

Aruba Airport joined the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower program on October 25, 2024, and the terminals carry the required facilities for physically challenged travelers. Wheelchair assistance is arranged through the airline — best at booking, but it can still be requested at check-in. A pet relief area sits along the corridor right before Gates 7 and 8.

The airport publishes no fixed check-in hours for this side — "check-in hours vary between airlines and destinations," so it is your airline that sets the clock. What IS fixed is the absence of the 3-hour flow-control window: that system applies only to U.S.-bound travelers.

The same shared security checkpoint applies to everyone; non-U.S. passengers proceed directly from screening to their gate, with no second passport or customs control.
