What Couples Are Really Worried About? 

Most couples worry that: 

  • Guests will book flights into the wrong airport 

  • Guests will choose an airport far from the resort 

  • Transportation costs will increase unnecessarily 

  • Guests will have longer transfer times than expected 

These concerns are common because some destinations have multiple airports serving the same region.

  • Resort location 

  • Destination country 

  • Transfer times 

  • Flight availability 

  • Airline routes 

  • Flight pricing 

  • Transportation options 

In some destinations, multiple airports are available, while others are served primarily by one major airport. 

Common Mistakes to Avoid 

  • Booking flights before confirming the resort location 

  • Assuming the closest airport is always the best option 

  • Not checking transfer times from the airport to the resort 

  • Booking flights into a different city with a similar name 

  • Waiting until the last minute to compare airport options 

Always confirm the recommended airport before purchasing flights.

Guests should: 

  1. Confirm their wedding resort location. 

  1. Ask their Paradise Weddings coordinator which airport is recommended. 

  1. Compare flight options to that airport. 

  1. Arrange airport transportation after flights are booked.
