By air. Haiti has two main international airports. Toussaint Louverture International Airport (PAP) in Port-au-Prince has been the primary entry point, but has repeatedly closed due to gang-related security threats — including aircraft being hit by gunfire. Cap-Haïtien International Airport (CAP) in the north has been more reliably accessible and is currently the main entry point for many travelers. A third international airport at Les Cayes in the southwest began receiving international flights in 2025. Check current airport status carefully before traveling.
Airlines serving Haiti have included American Airlines, Air France, Spirit, JetBlue, and regional carriers. US carriers have operated under FAA restrictions on flights to southern Haiti. The Haitian carrier Sunrise Airways operates domestic routes connecting Cap-Haïtien, Port-au-Prince, Jacmel, Jérémie, and Les Cayes.
From the Dominican Republic. The land border is the main alternative entry route. The main crossing points are Jimaní/Malpasse (south, connecting to Port-au-Prince) and Dajabón/Ouanaminthe (north, connecting to Cap-Haïtien). The northern crossing is generally considered safer and more straightforward. Bus services connect Santo Domingo and Cap-Haïtien. The border itself can be chaotic; keep documents accessible and allow plenty of time.
By sea. Cruise ships stop at Labadee, a private beach enclave near Cap-Haïtien leased by Royal Caribbean. Passengers do not leave the compound. Small ferries operate between Haitian coastal towns but schedules are irregular and conditions vary.
Note that given the current security situation, overland travel within Haiti — including on National Routes 1 and 2 — carries serious risks. Gangs have established checkpoints and extort "passage fees." Any travel plans should factor in current route security.
