💡 Local Tip
Reconfirm your flight the day before departure—domestic schedules can change or consolidate—and carry small-denomination meticais for taxi fares, as card acceptance is rare.
🚖 Getting There

There is no airport rail link, and public minibus service may require a walk to the main road. Confirm your return trip in advance, especially for early-morning departures or during the rainy season.
