Air
For most people it is the recommended way of getting to Managua. Nicaragua has one international Airport in Managua, the "Augusto C. Sandino" International Airport (IATA code: MGA) and it is located ~20 minutes from the city and venue. The airport is the destination of bigger U.S. and European airlines. You may have your prefered website to buy plane tickets. If not try these: Orbitz or Opodo. The Central American airlines are TACA and COPA (Please note that their offers can differ and sometimes don't even appear in common websites).

Special hint for people coming from the United States:
- Spirit Airlines could be one of the cheapest options.
Special hints for people coming from Europe:
- From Germany or countries close to it there is the German charter Condor which offers quite good deals, but unfortunately they appear neither in their website nor in others. You have to contact them directly.
- Jetairly is very cheap and flies from Brussels, Belgium to Liberia, Costa Rica. From there you could take a bus to the border and then to Managua (should take around 4 hours).
- Apart from Condor (Germany) and Jetairly (Belgium) other airlines offer flights to Central America directly without passing through the United States of America, such as Iberia (Spain) and KLM (Netherlands).
