How to travel around Paraguay by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Paraguay

  • Confirm your date for Asunción–Encarnación domestic connections
    Encarnación’s municipal airport page lists the Asunción–Encarnación route in both directions with departure times. Before arranging domestic connections, confirm actual operation, airports and booking arrangements for your date with the airport or carrier; the listing does not confirm a bookable seat that day.

Arriving from another country

  • Check baggage collection and recheck for separate Paranair tickets
    Paranair’s connecting-baggage guidance makes a single ticket a condition for checking baggage to the final destination. Otherwise, collect it during the connection and check it in again for the next flight. Check your own tickets on arrival rather than assuming through-check across separate tickets.
