How do I get to Venezuela and to Isla Margarita?

Arrival airports

GOV.UK says the availability of commercial flights to and from Venezuela is limited. Maiquetía Simón Bolívar International Airport, which serves Caracas, resumed commercial flight operations on 1 September with limited capacity, after the earthquakes of 24 June 2026. International flights are also operating from Valencia (Arturo Michelena), Barquisimeto (Jacinto Lara), Barcelona (General José Antonio Anzoátegui) and Maracaibo (La Chinita). Venezuela's tourism ministry said on 9 September 2026 that Maiquetía was back to 49 % of its pre-earthquake domestic routes, with 8 domestic airlines, and 46 % of its international operations, with 11 airlines.

International routes

Routes are being restored airline by airline, so we do not publish a timetable. On 12 October 2026: Copa Airlines sells a Panama City (PTY) to Porlamar (PMV) route on its website; Avianca announced the return of its daily Bogotá–Caracas flight from 1 September 2026, alongside its routes to Maracaibo and Valencia; Air Europa announced the resumption of its Caracas flights from the same date. Check the airline's own site for dates and frequencies before you buy.

From Caracas to Isla Margarita

Isla Margarita's airport is Porlamar (PMV). Domestic flights from Maiquetía and other cities are operated by Venezuelan airlines whose schedules change often; TripVenezuela confirms the current options for your dates when you request a booking. By sea, Conferry announced the return of its Puerto La Cruz–Margarita ferry from 26 June 2026 with a provisional timetable: check its site for the current one.

Check with your airline

GOV.UK advises staying in contact with your airline or tour operator for the latest flight information. If your package includes flights, the package page says so; if it does not, book them once TripVenezuela has confirmed your accommodation dates.
