Flights to Nicaragua

Getting to t_tag

One of the most well connected cities to Nicaragua is Miami, a flight of about two and a half hours. Atlantic Airlines has a several flights to Managua, the capital, where about a quarter of the population resides. A number of low cost airlines also fly into Managua on varying schedules according to the seasons. The surfing season offers the maximum number of flights.

Airports

The only international airport in Nicaragua is in Managua. There are a number of other airports listed with IATA that cater to private flights, but plans need to be made well in advance to use one of these. The Managua International Airport is world-class and the best in the region.

Airlines

Airlines include Delta, Continental, American Airlines, Copa, Iberia, and Aero Caribbean. Flights to the smaller Blue Fields and Corn Island are on Air Honduras, which is the neighboring country. Since these flights are largely dependent on tourist traffic and surfers form a lot of the traffic, timing of such flights would get you into Nicaragua early enough to catch the surf on the day of your flight.

Other Money-Saving Tips

You can save if you avoid the crowded weekends and fly on weekdays. Also, if you are not into surfing, avoid those crowds and travel off season. There is plenty to see in Nicaragua even without the beaches and the surfing, and off-season tour packages could save you a packet of money, even on hotels.

In Closing

Nicaragua is a great place to go, and with just a two and a half hour flight from Miami, it is really within easy reach. You can enjoy the tropical weather and some fun filled sightseeing, climbing, river rafting, fishing, and rambles in lush tropical forests. If you are an avid surfer, there are very few beaches in this part of the world that will give you a better ride.

Nicaragua is in the Central Americas, the area that lies between North and South America. This is the largest country in the region, with Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south. The western border is the Pacific Ocean and the eastern border is the Caribbean Sea. Tourism is one of the mainstays of the economy. If you are an adventurous person, Nicaragua is the place to go, with lush rain forests to explore and rumbling volcanoes to climb. You'll find beautiful beaches for swimming and some of the best fly-fishing in the world in the many streams and rivers.
