Entry and Exit Requirements:

A valid passport with at least 6 months remaining from time of departing Honduras is required for entry. There is a $34.00 departure tax in Honduras. There are other incidental airport taxes with connecting local flights usually not exceeding $5.00. Suggestion: bring a few $1.00 bills for these fees and baggage handlers.

Guests should keep in mind that airlines traveling into Honduras allow 2 bags of fifty pounds per person as well as one carry-on of forty pounds. If your bags are over weight you will be charged $25-$30 extra per bag. During the months of Dec-Jan and Jun-Aug Honduras has what is known as an embargo period. During the embargo period you are restricted to 2 bags of fifty pounds. If your bags are over weight they will make you leave things at the airport. Please keep this in mind when packing your bags!
