Late-night arrivals

Should you travel onward at night?

A late arrival doesn't necessarily mean you need to stay in Managua. Depending on your landing time and destination, you can arrange a direct private transfer or spend your first night in Managua and continue the following morning. Planning ahead removes the need to make transportation decisions after a long flight.
