Two exchange counters and about four ATMs are spread between Arrivals and Departures, handy for a quick cash top‑up when you land. For better rates and fewer fees, take just enough for transport at the airport and do larger withdrawals or exchanges at city banks in Bonanjo or Akwa.
Slip past passport control to a compact walk‑through duty‑free stocked with big‑name perfumes, whisky, Cognac and Cameroonian gifts, often priced below Douala city shops. Hours follow the flight schedule from early morning to the last departure, with a small arrivals counter sometimes open for inbound passengers.
Short layover or early flight? Douala’s compact terminal offers a handful of coffee counters, snack bars, and a couple of sit‑down spots both landside and near the gates, with coffee from about 1,500 XAF and hot meals around 6,000–12,000 XAF—slightly higher than in town but convenient and quick.
Need a quick check or some travel essentials? Douala’s first‑aid room near Arrivals offers calm, hands‑on help during flight hours with on‑call support, while nearby city pharmacies can fill prescriptions fast; basic first aid is free, but consultations, tests, and medications are paid.
Streamline your stopover: while there aren’t self‑service lockers, a staffed left‑luggage counter in the main terminal’s arrivals hall stores carry‑ons and suitcases for 24–48 hours at modest rates. Bring your passport and some XAF cash; oversize items are accepted when space allows.
Find a quiet corner in the compact departures hall or slip upstairs to one of two lounges in international departures for stronger Wi‑Fi, snacks, and cushy seating. Entry is via business‑class status, lounge memberships like Priority Pass, or a paid day pass, with hours that follow the main flight waves.
Douala International Airport (DLA) first opened in the 1930s and today runs two passenger terminals that separate domestic and international services. As the principal gateway to Cameroon's economic capital, Douala is a mid‑sized but busy airport handling significant cargo and regional traffic and serving as a hub for national carrier Camair‑Co and a base for several regional operators. The airport sits just a few kilometres from downtown Douala and is well connected by taxis, shared shuttles and road links to the port and business districts, with limited local bus options. On-site services tend to be affordable for local travelers, though international tickets may be pricier.
