Frequent visitors know to reconfirm the flight directly with the operator the day before departure—small Aceh airstrips often adjust schedules for weather and passenger loads, so keep a road-travel backup in mind.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is close to Blangpidie, so the simplest transfer is by taxi, ojek, or a car arranged by your hotel or guesthouse. There is no rail service in this part of Aceh; road journeys to larger towns such as Meulaboh or Tapaktuan can take several hours.
