## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Have a meal or pack snacks before heading to the airport, as the Snack Bar may not always be open outside peak times.
- _Quiet_: Budget for the Salón VIP lounge at the International Terminal for some peace and guaranteed air conditioning on busy days.
- _Avoid_: Don’t rely on airport Wi-Fi; download all you need before arriving at Holguín.
- _Money_: Get cash ready for taxis, as they are the only recommended transport mode into Holguín or resort areas without public buses.
- _Time_: Plan currency exchanges strategically to sidestep long lines during peak charter hours—it might even be better to exchange money at your hotel.
- _Local_: If you're after rum or cigars, shop prior to your airport visit as options and opening hours at HOG are limited.
