- Confirm flight schedules directly with your carrier well in advance, as services are infrequent and subject to change.
- Arrange ground transport ahead of arrival as formal taxi ranks may not always be staffed.
- Carry Colombian pesos in cash, as card payment infrastructure in and around the airport is unreliable.
- The main Santa Marta–Barranquilla highway passes near town and offers intercity bus connections if air services are unavailable.
