Editorial snapshot
Flying to Nicaragua rewards the traveller who books early and travels light. Routes from Miami and Houston are the most competitive on price, particularly in January through March when demand is steady but fares haven't spiked. It suits the independently minded traveller who wants Central America without the crowds that have descended on Costa Rica. BNPL makes the upfront cost easier to swallow on a destination that gives back generously once you arrive.
Score based on Laters booking data and editorial review, 2026
January through April is the sweet spot for Nicaragua flights: dry season weather, manageable demand, and fares that haven't yet climbed to holiday peaks. December sees a sharp spike around Christmas and New Year. September and October bring heavy rains on the Pacific coast and the lowest fares of the year, but flooding can affect travel in rural areas.

|---|---|---|---|
| January | Mid | Medium | Dry season begins; good conditions and steady demand. |
| February | Budget | Low | Quietest month; best fares and uncrowded beaches. |
| March | Budget | Low | Dry and sunny; ideal for volcano hikes and Granada. |
| April | Mid | Medium | Semana Santa brings local crowds; book accommodation early. |
| May | Mid | Medium | Rains begin on Pacific side; Caribbean coast stays drier. |
| June | Budget | Low | Low season; good value but expect afternoon downpours. |
| July | Budget | Low | Canícula dry spell mid-month; brief respite from rain. |
| August | Budget | Low | Wet season continues; fares at their lowest. |
| September | Budget | Low | Hurricane season peak; cheapest fares but travel disruption risk. |

IATA: MGA · 12 km from Managua city centre · 140 km from Granada
Managua's only international airport is a single-terminal facility that handles all commercial international and domestic traffic. It's compact and relatively easy to navigate — immigration queues can build after multiple flights land simultaneously, but the process is generally efficient. American Airlines, United, Copa, and Avianca are the primary carriers operating here.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Official taxi (yellow cab) | USD 10-15 to city centre | 20-30 min to central Managua |
| Ride-share (InDriver/Uber) | USD 6-10 to city centre | 20-30 min depending on traffic |
| Shared shuttle | USD 15-25 to Granada | Approx. 1.5-2 hours to Granada |
