Your guide to booking Managua flights

From booking to airport arrival, find tips to help you plan your flight with more confidence.
  • For the best chance at a low fare to Managua, book around 8 weeks before departure. Based on KAYAK data from the last 12 months, fares are historically about 13% lower during this window than last-minute fares.
  • For flights to Managua, a good round-trip fare is around $440. If you find a fare below that, you're getting a strong deal.
  • If your travel dates are flexible, consider flying to Managua in February. Round-trip fares historically average $465, making February the cheapest month to travel based on KAYAK data from the last 12 months.
  • Before you book:

    • Check the route's typical price range so you can spot a deal.
    • Confirm baggage fees and seat-selection costs on budget carriers.
    • Verify whether you need any travel documents beyond ID.
    • Pick a departure airport, since your nearest may not be the cheapest origin.
  • Shift your departure to noon to save up to $191 per round-trip. Noon flights to Managua average $572 compared to $763 for evening flights.
  • Bag allowances vary by airline, fare type, cabin class and route. On flights to Managua, some airlines may include bags at no extra cost. For example, Avianca includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy Class, American Airlines includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy Class and United Airlines includes a cabin bag and a checked bag in Economy Class. Always check the fare details before booking, since bag policies can change by ticket type.
  • If you’re booking flights to Managua, you will be flying into Augusto C. Sandino International Airport. Augusto C. Sandino International Airport is the only international airport in Nicaragua. The airport is located in the Sixth Ward of Managua and is the fifth busiest airport in Central America.
  • Skip the fast food chains at the airport and instead look for local dining options. The food is much better and far more affordable than trying to buy Americanized food. Plus, it is much more fun to eat like the locals. You’ll be able to enjoy dishes like nacatamal, quesillo, and gallo pinto at the restaurants located in the food court. The food court is open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
  • If you have landed in Augusto C. Sandino International Airport and want to exchange your currency, do not do it at the airport itself. The rates are quite high. You will find a better exchange rate if you visit a local bank in Managua to exchange your currency.
  • Passengers who fly economy can pay to access the first class lounge at Augusto C. Sandino International Airport. The Sala VIP Lounge is located on the second floor. There are televisions and free WiFi available. The fee to enter includes a free drink for children twelve years and younger or two drinks for adults. You must make a reservation for the VIP lounge 6 hours in advance.
  • If you need to take a taxi from Augusto C. Sandino International Airport to your hotel or an attraction, get a recommendation from the airport staff. Independent taxi drivers can be very aggressive and charge tourists much higher prices. If you’re looking for the cheapest way to get around the city when leaving the airport, you’ll want to take a “chicken bus.” These local buses are the least expensive way to get around the country but are also quite crowded.
  • While Augusto Cesar Sandino International Airport (MGA) primarily serves the city of Managua, it is also a major transport hub for travelers going to other nearby towns. For example, if your final destination is Tipitapa, Nindiri, or Ticuantepe, you will want to first fly into MGA.
