Travelers appreciate its modern infrastructure and efficient processes, though some recurring issues persist, primarily concerning its distance from the city and aspects of its international terminal.

What Travelers Love

Modern and Spacious Terminals: The airport boasts a beautiful and adequately sized terminal, particularly the newer Terminal 2, which opened in 2016 and is described as very good with new shops, restaurants, and bars. Travelers enjoy the large windows offering great views of the tarmac and runway.

Common Complaints

Distance from City Center and Costly Transportation: The airport is located far from Belo Horizonte city center (approximately 40km), leading to expensive and time-consuming transport options. While various bus and taxi services exist, the journey can take 50 minutes to over an hour.
International Terminal Limitations: The international terminal is considered poor by some and only opens one and a half hours before departure, which can be inconvenient for travelers.
Slow Immigration at Peak Times: Despite generally good efficiency, immigration can be slow and crowded during rush hours due to a lower number of staff.
High Food Prices and Limited Late-Night Options: Food and drinks are often cited as horribly expensive compared to city prices, and options become limited after 10 PM.

Overall, Tancredo Neves International Airport is considered a solid choice for travelers, especially for domestic flights, offering modern facilities and generally efficient processes. However, passengers should plan ahead for the considerable travel time and cost to/from the city center and be aware of potential limitations in the international terminal and late-night food options.
