- Arrive at least 90 minutes before domestic flights as check-in lines can move slowly during peak travel periods.
- Agree on taxi fares before departure since meters are rarely used; confirm the price to your destination upfront.
- The city center is approximately 8–10 km from the airport, so plan transport in advance especially for early morning or late night flights.
- Montería's climate is hot and humid year-round, so dress accordingly and carry water for any wait times outdoors.
