Dr António Agostinho Neto International Airport (NBJ)
NBJ to Luanda: one pre-booked hotel transfer, 75–130 minutes on a long road into the city — the risk is not the queue but an unbooked car after dark.

- Angola ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on Angola's official migration service (SME) portal before booking; visa-free and e-visa rules have changed in recent years.
- Angola ↗Book a travel-clinic visit several weeks ahead; ask about malaria prevention and check the yellow fever vaccination certificate requirement for entry, which is strictly checked for many travellers.
- Angola ↗Do not photograph government buildings, the presidential palace area, military sites, police or the airport.
- Luanda area ↗Move between towns and clusters in daylight, in a hotel-arranged car; do not self-drive outside the city without local advice.
- Luanda ↗Move between clusters only in hotel-arranged cars, and be back at the hotel before dusk: street robbery is a real risk.
- Luanda ↗Foreign cards work at some large hotels only; carry kwanza and a backup in US dollars or euros, and change at banks or licensed offices.

Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Your hotel sends a named driver with your flight number; do not accept an unbooked car or a helper who approaches you in the hall.
- Precision
- The new airport is far outside the city; meeting points and rules change (field-verify). Some flights may still use the older city airport (LAD): check which airport your ticket says.
- Late-night threshold
- 21:00

If it breaks
- Send your flight number and hotel name to the hotel before you fly, and ask for the driver's phone number.
- Keep your visa and passport ready at immigration; queues at night can pass an hour.
- Do not accept a car that your hotel has not arranged; robbery on the airport road is a real risk after dark.
- If nobody is at arrivals, stay inside the terminal and call the hotel; do not walk out to the roadside.
