Which terminal

Valença Airport is a small airport with a small arrivals area. Finding each other is usually easy, but phone signal and Wi-Fi can be patchy, so agree the spot before they fly.

Where to wait

Put the exact spot in your Greet. Your guest sees it on their phone from the moment they land at VAL, even without signal.

  • Just outside the arrivals door. At a small airport everyone comes out the same way.
  • If you're driving, check where you're allowed to stop: small airports often have only a few short-stay spaces.

Passport control and timing

International arrivals go through passport control and customs before the arrivals hall. Domestic flights within Brazil are usually much quicker.

Valenca runs on America/Fortaleza time. The clock at the top of this page shows the local time now.

A local welcome

Want the sign to feel local? "Bem-vindos" means welcome in Portuguese. Put it in the line above their name.
