💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal can be nearly empty between flights, so check in as soon as it opens and don't count on shops or food stalls being open—bring a snack and water if your flight is delayed.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to Atambua, so a taxi or ojek (motorcycle taxi) is the most practical way into town; agree on the fare before departing. Ride-hailing apps may have limited coverage, so ask your hotel to arrange a pickup if you arrive on a late flight. For trips to the Timor-Leste border, allow extra time and confirm current road and border opening conditions.
