Long lines arriving into Providenciales on a Sunday in January?

Our friends will be arriving on a Sunday, the second week in January. Anybody have problems with the arrival lines? One of them has some physical disabilities. Thanks so much!

They will not have a problem, after New Years it is slower until February . PLUS -- Sunday is a slow arrival day.

It's the security line that's the biggest problem. It can be very long, even extending outside the terminal depending on the day and season. The only other option is the VIP Flyers Club, which offers pricey curbside pickup and escorts you through all lines. You can also opt just to use their lounge for a lesser charge, which some people do because the departure lounge is tiny and often very crowded. Good luck!

That's what I was afraid of! I was told by my airline to be there 3 hours in advance. Guess I will need a vacation after the vacation
Thanks.

It's the only downside to a vacation in Turks. Hopefully the airport expansion will cure some of the problem! A real estate agent we met says most people arrive 2 hours before a flight and that if you get there a bit ahead of that, you'll beat the line. But I dunno...
