_Insider_: Fly domestic instead of international when possible; the domestic area has better food and seating. - _Time_: Arrive 1.5–2 hours early for domestic and 2.5–3 hours for international to navigate unpredictable queues. - _Local_: Catch a colectivo to the Walled City; they run just beyond the airport's frontage for a small fare. - _Quiet_: The sidewalk along the terminal's frontage offers shaded seating and a breeze, often more comfortable than crowded gates. - _Money_: Use ATMs in the departures hall for better rates; avoid arrival exchange counters. - _Avoid_: Ignore touts and use the official taxi kiosk outside baggage claim, ensuring a fixed fare. - _Time_: Manage luggage carefully if using colectivos, as they are cramped and more suitable for light travelers. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
