MANAUS AIRPORT review : 5 November 2009 : by S Koenig

Customer Rating : 3/5

Had to change planes here on our way from Fortaleza to Miami. Looks like an older airport with added security equipment for international flights thrown in at random. When we left our first flight, we had to exit the secure area, find our way to the new departure area and then go through security again (there was a total lack of signage, or personnel, letting people just making connections know that they did not have to stand in the longest line with others just starting their trip there). Waiting area rather confined, with a couple of small shops and one concessionaire selling a very limited selection of food and drinks. I would hate to have to spend several hours in this airport, which is getting increased numbers of international flights.

MAO is an old airport, far away from the city but with good and cheap connections! They have a lot of security, food is expensive so come prepared - a simple burger will cost you 5 dollars or so and internet 9 dollars one hour! Tourist information center is very friendly and helpful.

Manaus Airport review by M Doyle

Traveled to Manaus many times, found the airport good with easy access to car park. Staff nice, security not too long a queue, shops etc are standard airport stuff. Would recommend early arrival and double check all documentation you need to travel. Stop to look at the turtles outside the terminal in their own pond.

Manaus Airport review by Ned Hopkins

On my first trip to the Amazon, in 1998, Manaus airport was a nightmare. On my second trip the airport had been much upgraded. The entire building had been enclosed and was air-conditioned, many shops, some with quality goods.
