💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors confirm flight status before leaving for the airport-VAG has limited daily operations and few on-site amenities, so schedule changes can leave you waiting with little food or shopping.
🚖 Getting There
The airport sits just outside central Varginha, so taxis and app-based rides (Uber/99) are quick and usually inexpensive, with downtown reached in about 10-15 minutes. If you're driving, follow signs from Avenida Princesa do Sul and allow extra time during rush hour near the city center. For longer trips, Varginha's bus terminal offers intercity coaches to Belo Horizonte, São Paulo, and other regional destinations.
