Arriving at João Pessoa Airport late at night

If your flight lands at João Pessoa Airport in the evening or after midnight, plan your ride before you leave the terminal.

What the airport page says

The airport page lists a taxi stand at the terminal passenger entrance, ground floor, open 24 hours. Intermunicipal bus line 5601 Aeroporto stops in front of the terminal, but the listed weekday and Saturday departures end at 19:30, and no Sunday times are listed. Times may change without notice.

Your options at night

Taxi: Use the stand at the terminal entrance. The airport page does not publish fares, so ask how the price is set before you leave.

Ride-hailing apps: The airport designates a pickup point at the end of the south wing, after the van stop. Check the fare in the app before you confirm. Waits can be longer at night, and you need mobile data.

Pre-booked transfer: If included in your booking, a driver meets you as described in your confirmation, and the price is fixed at booking. Check the meeting point and the contact number in your confirmation before you fly.

Practical tips

• Save your accommodation address on your phone
• Charge your phone before landing
• Keep the transfer contact number from your confirmation within reach
• Use the official stand or your app rather than offers made inside the terminal
