Map of Comalapa Int'l Airport, El Salvador

If you are coming to El Salvador any day now and have a fear of airports or flying, this should ease your mind.  Here is an illustration of how to exit the airport when you land.  This map is not 100% accurate obviously but it's pretty close to perfect.  These are more or less the exact steps you will take to exit the airport.  I have included an overview of where your friends and family will be waiting outside, where the bathrooms are and where to find food (outside).  This is the ONLY airport in El Salvador so you will be flying into this one.

Feel free to print, distribute and use this map freely but do not remove the link to my blog in the bottom right corner please.


Here is a link to the same image on Imageshack.  Click the image to enlarge it to full size, it's rather large and complete.

Here are some actual photos of the airport.  You should not be scared to arrive, the airport is very small and it's impossible to miss your loved ones waiting once you get out of the door.  These pictures were not taken by me... they are from other bloggers.  Credits in the bottom corner of the photos.


To the right are the doors you will walk out of after passing
immigration and customs.  The people are located where
your family and friends will be waiting.  Easy to see them and find them.
Not all doors are used, only the middle two.


View of the waiting area from the taxi/bus/rental car parking lot.
Look on my map above all the way to the right, that parking lot
is where this picture is taking from, looking in on the waiting area.


In my map above... look at the bottom where it says Arrivals/Departure
waiting are and "road".  The road is what you see here and arrival/departure
area where cars drop off and pick up people.  Do not try and get a taxi here 
it's easier on the side parking lot (see map).

Ok, I've always known you are amazing but you just out did yourself! You so eased my mind, I hate flying so much that I have NEVER done it and if it wasn't for the situation I wouldn't do it now!

Kim I understand completely! I was terrified of flying too. I hadn't flown since I was little, I actually walked for the first time on a plane and apparently never got back on one.

I was nervous at the airport too! Anyway that map is perfect. It will show you where your loved one will be waiting, where to go when you get off the plane and ever where to get some food! Haha, hope you enjoyed!
