Arrive well before your connection since there is no real-time flight information system comparable to major hubs.
Keep cash on hand, as card payment and digital services are unreliable at this airport.
Expect manual check-in and boarding processes that can take longer than at larger Venezuelan airports.
If your first flight is delayed, speak directly with ground staff, as there is no automated rebooking system.
