Stuck on a Guam layover? If so, there’s plenty to do both inside and outside the The A.B. Won Pat International Airport. First, though, Layover Guide suggests checking out a list of tips that the airport suggests travelers be aware of when arriving in Guam.
If stuck inside the Guam airport, check out the International Food and Beverage options including the Pacific Dining Island Café and Bar, and some select shopping stores. There is also foreign exchange, ATM services, and nearby hotels that you can stop at for a quick nap, including the Guam Airport Hotel (671) 649-8402.
The airport is located a close 4 miles of the capital, Agana. As for transportation, there are taxis outside of the West Arrival Terminal Building. There are also car rental and Tour Group Counters, that you can check out if your layover is lengthy. For contact information, click here.
Luggage storage is not available at the airport, but if you would really like to see some sights without worrying about your luggage, you can always leave it in a hotel room for the day.
Latte Stone Park
Located in central Hagatna are the Latte Stones. The stones are actually pillars dating back
to 500 A.D. on which ancient Chamorro houses were constructed. They aren’t
found anywhere else in the world, and have become a signature of Guam
