Nicaragua by plane


Nicaragua by plane

You will fly into the international airport in Managua. Flights from the U.S. arrive from Houston, Miami, or Atlanta. Spirit Airlines opened in August 2007. Managua is also serviced by American Airlines, Continental, Taca, Aeromexico and Delta. In July, 2010, Nicaragua changed its fee to enter the country from US$5 to US$10. Try to have exact change. Tourist visas are not issued, instead tourist cards or provided and are valid for three months for US citizens as well as for people from the EU and Canada. There will be taxis right outside, these are relatively expensive (US$15 for the 20 Km trip to Managua centre) , or you can walk out to the road and try to flag down a regular cab. Some taxi drivers may try to overcharge, particularly seeing a foreign face, and may start with US$10, but a price around US$3-6 or 60-100 Cordobas is appropriate from the airport. You can also arrange a shuttle pickup to take you to nearby cities like Granada, a popular option for tourists who do not want to spend a night in Managua. It is recommended to have your hotel or language school arrange a shuttle when possible. There are also private services such as Paxeos. You can also fly into the tiny Granada airstrip from San Jose.
