  • What pet policies are there for travel from the US to Nicaragua?

    Neither a notary public's signature nor the Nicaraguan Consulate's stamp is required on the health certificate. Animals exported with commercial lot numbers require import permission to be included. Personal pets such as dogs or cats must get quarantine permission upon arrival in Nicaragua instead of needing an import permit. The rabies vaccination certificate should accompany the health documentation. Pet transportation is subject to the rules and regulations of individual airlines and shipping companies. Ask your airline or shipping provider to find out what specifications they might have.

  • Are there eco-friendly airlines that offer flights from the US to Nicaragua?

    For years, Avianca Airlines has been cutting its fuel consumption, reducing its hazardous waste consumption, and complying with applicable environmental legislation. As a result, it is ranked as one of the most eco-friendly airlines in operation. With this in mind, if you’d love to fly sustainably from the US to Nicaragua, this is the airline for you.

  • Can I rent a car at Nicaragua Airport?

    One of the best ways to get around Nicaragua is by renting a car. You'll need a major credit card and a valid driver's license if you still want to rent an automobile. The average rental company demands a 25-year-old minimum. Most significant rental car companies are based in major cities. There can be better deals from smaller Nicaraguan car rental companies. Insurance with at least 80% coverage is required for renters.

  • Which airport should I go to if I intend to fly to other Central American countries?

  • Can I sleep at MGA Airport?

    Although the airport in Managua is small and has few amenities, you can stay the night inside the enclosure if you have an early flight. The employees at the airport don't appear to mind if people camp overnight. Bring a sleeping bag or travel blanket for comfort since your only options for resting are hard, uncomfortable seats and the ground. Temperatures that are too cold and overall noise are frequent concerns. Nearby hotels (5 to 10 minutes walking), such as Best Western Las Mercedes Managua and Runway Hostel, provide complimentary shuttle services for peaceful sleep.

  • Can I travel nonstop from the US to Nicaragua?

    If you plan on traveling nonstop from the US to Nicaragua, you’ll have to make your way to Miami International Airport (MIA). This is because, at this airport, you’ll be able to find several direct Avianca Airlines flights that you can use to travel directly to the Central American country.

At 15 mins after takeoff captain inform plane needs to return to Medellin because a technical situation. The change flight to next day directly to Puerto Rico. They'll pay for hotel (a specific one), dinner, next day breakfast and transfers from and to airport. But when get to the hotel, hotel administration informs they don't have rooms available and that they did not confirm 'anything' to the airline. We wait until night, and nothing happens. My group of four stay in a hotel nearby and pay for it. Next day during check-in we explain to de counter employees all details and they call and make 'some things' and pay us hotel and dinner expenses. This employees are super heroes for us. Airline keeps us waiting for hours to resolve the situation. They could tell us, right away, that we select any hotel, pay for it and bring receipts next morning.

Everything was good. But this airline doesn't give ANY food. You have to pay for everything, including water.

I had a 7 hour flight from New York JFK to San Jose Costa Rica. There was no in seat entertainment, no seat recline and poor leg room. Nor did Avianca hand out water. Extremly dissapointed. Had I known this before i purchased my ticket. I would have never booked. Buyer beware!

Sería bueno informar que el vuelo es de bajo costo y saber que hay que pagar a bordo para conseguir algo de comida.

First of all, we bought a non-stop trip and in writing it indicated a direct flight to Miami. We did not only stopped in Nicaragua, but were force to disembark and were processed again through security as delinquents just to get back to the same plane. We're American citizens and Nicaragua is a communist country and an enemy of the US. We were therefore kidnapped by illegally and unnecessarily disembarked. We were overcharged $190 for the luggage that went into the cargo area, though we had already paid for a round trip. We didn't buy food on the way back, because you charge even for coffee, imagine if we had asked for water. No internet. We didn't watch entertainment.

The worst experience I could have. They are not efficient

Half of the computers to print bags labels weren't working Not enough people to check bags I missed my flight

Seats don't recline. Took my water away at the gate, the one I got AFTER the security check. Said "no liquids", while others were carrying duty free without problems. Made me buy water on the plane for $3.

Tuvimos una hora de retraso en la salida de Madrid

Avianca could very well be the worst airline. $100 for a carry-on? Give me a break! Service is non existent. Really look somewhere else.

This is the Spirit of Latino travel. And don’t even get me started on customer service.

Awful. I checked in online and there was no option to pay for baggage, at the airport when I checked in my baggage was received and Iwas not charged. When I got to LA during the boarding process I was told I didn't pay for baggage, the crew resolved I was let in the plane. When I got to my final destination my baggage was not there. It took me two days to receive my baggage. Bad service ever!

There was no food or drink service, couldn’t even get a glass of water for free. It was a long and expensive flight to not offer food or beverage on the plane.

It is better at the jfk than my home country. It was very easy and everything was on time.

There is no food. There is no in-inflight entertainment. The seats are cardboard. The airline is a living hellscape.

My experience was amazing! They helped my elderly mother board on early through a wheelchair and were accommodating to have us sit together since our seats were in different locations. When landing at the airport in GUA they were very helpful with full of hospitality.

No complimentary snacks food, beverage (not even water), pillow and blanket on a 6 hours long flight (including economy comfort). A low form of nickeling an diming. Lost a recurring passanger over a soda. Avianca never again.

Flight departure late. Got late in Colombia making us take a different flight next day. Avianca airport crew messed up my ticket so when a I got in Brazil I didn’t have a ticket for my destination. Had to buy a new ticket out of my pocket.

They charge me $190.00 dollars for the baggage for the bag in side the plane and in the baggage compartment in the plane. The service I got bad bad bad they make wait for a log time and i got to the airport 4 hours before. I don't think I'm going to use you guys never never again no support . And I am going to tell all the guys and people i now to don' use KAYAK

Wasn’t able to take the trip and no one could help me with a refund or rescheduling

737 Max was leaking water into the cabin through the windows. Overhead bins opened on landing. Bad bad plane.

I was not able to buy food in the flight. They refer to include your Credit card in the APP, and if you are not from USA (i have a credit card form Canada) it is not possible

Very bad , airplain had problem with engines , had to evacuate, had a delay on my trip for almost 4 hours , lost my rental car in london..

The plane boarded and deplaned twice before the crew timed out. Flight was 7 hours late departing. Horrible experience!

Aircraft has better leg room than any of United's larger planes. We had requested mobility assistance for this and related flights. United's response to all was superb.

No snacks served! Seating in the kast row in uncomfortable.

Over two hours wait to get wheelchair assistance from arrival to the departure gate for LA was unreasonable even though there appreared to be heavy demand.

Everything was very good. Boarding and takeoff were on time and organized. Had a good flight

Wouldn’t let me check in said couldn’t find a ticket had to wait very long Time

Awful…flight was delayed more than 12hrs, missed all connections to Fort Wayne, IN, had to get flight to another city 2 hours from my destination, flight was again delayed by 40 mins because they did not have enough fuel, again missed a connection, finally arrived in Indiana at 11pm…but before my 2 hour drive home, ay, no Five That Our Luggage Never Made On The plane and Still In Chicago

The 2 hour delay was frustrating but our crew did a great job getting us out quickly and keeping communication especially with the people who had connecting flights

Got a much appreciated surprise upgrade to an exit row and the crew was very friendly and helpful.

The only problem experienced was a ground stop in Chicago due to weather. But the crew handled everything professionally. They prioritized rebooking those passengers who had connecting flights and then deplaning the other passengers. When the hold was lifted, they efficiently re-boarded all the passengers so that we could depart before our departure limit expired.

The staff was unprofessional and didn’t communicate very well. The boarding process was very disheveled, potentially due to a power outage the previous day but there was no contingency plan to properly get passengers boarded the following day. Once boarded the aircraft stayed on the tarmac for over 45 minutes due to high winds. The communication was sporadic but an announcement was finally made an additional 30 minutes later that the flight was cancelled but we couldn’t get off the plane. Prior to deplaning one of the gate agents came on the plane and made an announcement for everyone to pickup their checked bags and take a card to rebook a new reservation because they didn’t have adequate staff. Flights were missed, passengers went to different airports and there was little to no assistance from AA.

Boarding time was easy & quick. Crew was excellent. In-flight entertainment was great/easy. Seats are too small and not enough room between rows: felt like a sardine/very cramped.

Absolutely filthy flight and not equipped for a trans US

Everything was on time; the flight attendants and the gate personnel were very pleasant and helpful.

I had trouble finding a boarding pass because I had an hour between Flights and American did not see my flight I believe because I was ticketed through KAYAK. I did not have enough time to go to the desk before boarding so I went to the desk and told them while I was boarding and they had a boarding pass for me within three minutes. Nice. I paid extra to have more legroom and it is definitely worth it for a six hour flight. I would’ve paid for a decent dinner, but they didn’t offer anything but a snack box —not good for six hours.

I have not found it to be easy to set up on Wi-Fi with American Airlines. I don’t know if it is me or poor instructions.

You cancelled my flight by email then made it very difficult to get in contact with you. Then put me in a flight with a long layover in Mexico returning to the wrong airport in uk. Mind blowing my stressful. I missed see my grand dad because of you.

Delayed several times. Flight was to arrive at midnight and it arrive at 3 am. A 3 hour delay is already bad but one that has you arriving in the wee hour is just disruptive and overall unacceptable. The complete lack of restitution is a joke in keeping with Spirit’s reputation of ranking bottom-low in the pecking order.

Awful experience. Both flights were delayed several times with weather but also crew members being the official cause. The vouchers are unusable and insufficient ($50 voucher to fly the same crappy airline is a joke for putting me on a red-eye that landed at 3:00 am). The aircrafts were old and uncomfortable (have a real pocket on the seat, for crying out loud!).

Its so random that they only allow 40 pounds on checked bags when all airlines take 55. They then charge you for each 10 extra pounds, so my checked suitcase was $130 and the flight $30 ... its like whattt, im for sure not traveling with Spirit again

Cancelled my flight last minute and had to end up driving to Texas from Atlanta last minute. I’m going to miss another day of work, drive back to Atlanta , in my own car and spirit doesn’t want to refund the money. First time I tried flying anyone else but delta and I get ripped off . And I had. To pay for seats for a flight that didn’t happen. Usually you could say you get what you pay for but in this case, didn’t get anything and paid for everything never flying spirit again, or even attempting it or thinking about it.

Actual CLT experience was rough. I've never seen the airport as bad in regards to security lines and wait. (For not being a holiday) A lot of folks missed their flight this morning. Spirit is fine. But wasnt offered a beverage somehow. No worries but some how I missed it.

the landing was terrible. the plane touched down and had take off. the plane flew around and landed a second time.i understand the weather might of been the problem. It was a scary experience and no explanation from the captain.

Flight was canceled and rebooked for the next day. Had to cancel the entire vacation.

It wasn’t as horrible as I would have expected, however, to not provide water and change so much for bags is a ripoff to say the least.

Flight from Tampa to Houston was canceled. SPIRIT rebooked me and they double booked my seat. Conclusion I COULD NOT TRAVEL TO HOUSTON. I MISSED MY GRANDDAUGHTER BIRTHDAY. I would not recommend this company. I will file a complaint. I will never consider SPIRIT as an airline . It’s a faker.

I like strict carry on policy. Quick to board, quick to leave. Less time at gate and get there quicker
