Palonegro International Airport (BGA), opened in 1974, is the main gateway to Bucaramanga and Colombia’s Santander region, featuring a single passenger terminal handling domestic flights and limited international connections. A medium-sized airport vital for regional travel, Palonegro sits about 30 km from downtown Bucaramanga (roughly a 35–50 minute drive) with regular airport buses, taxis and shuttle services linking to the city and surrounding towns. Travelers find fares and on-site prices generally reasonable compared with larger hubs, and the airport functions as a regional base for carriers such as EasyFly and Satena while seeing frequent services from Avianca, LATAM and low-cost airlines.
Need pesos on landing? Palonegro has no official currency exchange, but you’ll find three 24/7 ATMs split between Arrivals and Departures; swap larger sums downtown where rates are better and queues are shorter.
Slip into Palonegro’s compact duty‑free just past immigration for quick wins on fragrances, whisky, and Colombian coffee—usually priced below city malls and timed to international flights. Open around each international departure, it’s an easy browse between passport control and the gate.
Fuel up on strong Colombian coffee, fresh pastries, and quick bites from roughly 6–8 outlets spread across the single terminal, with the widest choice after security. Prices run about 15–30% higher than in Bucaramanga—think COP 7,000–12,000 for coffee, snacks from COP 5,000–20,000, and sit‑down meals around COP 30,000–55,000.
Quick, calm help is close by: a first‑aid room near Arrivals and a small drugstore by Departures cover most needs, from bandages to motion‑sickness tablets. Basic first aid is free, while medications and any tests are paid, with staff available during flight hours and on‑call support after.
Compact and straightforward, Palonegro doesn’t have fixed lockers, but you can often arrange supervised storage with the baggage‑wrapping desk by Departures or use city alternatives. Expect simple ID checks, CCTV‑monitored rooms, and modest day rates.
Slip into a calm preflight rhythm with one compact VIP lounge in Departures for fast Wi‑Fi, snacks, and plenty of plugs, plus three main public waiting zones—landside cafés, the central concourse, and a quieter stretch by the last gates. Lounge access comes via memberships, premium tickets, or a paid day pass, and hours follow the flight schedule rather than running 24/7.
