Layover Tips

Connection Tips

St. John's has a single terminal, so connections are straightforward with just a 2-minute walk between gates. Security wait averages 12 minutes and there's no security recheck for terminal-to-terminal moves. Aim for a minimum 35-minute connection time, though 50 minutes is safer if you're changing airlines or need to clear immigration.

Connection Challenges

["No recovery amenities (showers, sleep pods, or spa facilities) available in the terminal, making long layovers uncomfortable for jetlag management","Limited lounge options without shower access means tired passengers have few places to rest or freshen up between flights","Small airport with fewer dining and entertainment options compared to major hubs, which can feel cramped during peak hours"]

Best Lounge for Jetlag

Unfortunately, St. John's International does not have lounges with shower, spa, or sleep pod facilities. No premium lounge amenities are available to help manage jetlag during layovers. Your best option is to explore quiet seating areas in the departures level or consider a nearby airport hotel if your layover exceeds 6 hours.
