💡 Local Tip
If you’re flying out in the afternoon, arrange your taxi the night before; Tela Airport is quiet and drivers don’t always wait outside the terminal.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are the simplest way to reach Tela’s town center and beach hotels; agree on the fare before departing or arrange a transfer through your hotel. If you are arriving by road, Tela is connected via the CA-13 highway from San Pedro Sula and La Ceiba, and intercity buses stop in Tela where you can take a short taxi to the airport. Allow extra time during heavy rain, as road conditions and visibility can slow travel.
