## Overview

Welcome Juan Manuel Gálvez International, nestled just 3 km west of Coxen Hole, is practically your gateway to sandy beaches and picturesque holiday resorts.

Picture this: you could step off the plane, go through the small-scale passport control, and be on Caribbean sands in under 30 minutes if you time it right. With only one runway and a barebones terminal, it feels more like an island ferry stop than a bustling international airport. At a glance Despite serving as a key entry point for Roatán's tourism, the airport lacks formal conveniences typical of larger airports.

## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Pre-book an island shuttle or hotel transfer; they know how to bypass the taxi haggling game efficiently.
- _Time_: Build in extra buffer on departure days, especially during rainy season due to the runway's history of closures.
- _Money_: Carry some small USD or lempiras for taxis, as tanks being cash-only is common practice.
- _Avoid_: No lounge-hop options; frequent flyers find it barebones, so don't expect club privileges.
- _Local_: Grab your groceries or any pharmacy items at Eldon’s supermarket in Coxen Hole rather than relying on the airport store.
- _Time_: Traveling with dive gear to the U.S.? Allow more time for check-in and expect long lines.
- _Local_: Ask your hotel if they offer quiet airport pickup services in their package.
- _Quiet_: During runway disruptions, look out for outdoor green zones opened as improv waiting areas.
