Will it be hot?
Yes, expect it to be hot and humid!
Do I need to take any medication or get vaccinated for anything?
This is totally up to you and your doctor. However, generally if you are up to date on your vaccinations you will be fine.
What do I need to go through Honduras customs in the airport?
They are frequently changing things but you should fill this form out before you arrive and before you leave. https://sisglobal.aduanas.gob.hn/Pech/#/plataforma/otra_gestiones/formularioDJRV
So I suggest bookmarking it. It will give you a QR code they will scan. When you arrive in SAP, they scan it after you talk with the customs agent and before you can proceed to baggage claim. When leaving the country they require that you scan the departure QR code before talking to an agent.
Need to know anything for flying domestically with SOSA?
If you are taking a domestic flight you will have to go through customs and get your bags and then recheck them. They also started doing a domestic travel fee. You will have to go pay the fee before you can proceed through security into the waiting area. The fee is about 54 lempiras which is only a few dollars. They will give you a paper slip saying you paid, so hold on to that.
Any tips?
- When you are leaving, regardless of whether you are checking a bag or not, try to get a printed boarding pass. Sometimes they allow digital boarding passes and sometimes they do not.
-Bring sunscreen, bug spray (some will be provided), and drink bottled water (just to be safe)
Are there any ATMs?
You should be able to find functioning ATMs in the main areas of the airports. If you are in La Ceiba the mall also has a bank area with multiple ATMs.
