Do not sit leftover Logcluster copy of ‘one passenger terminal with no air bridge’ — that is the old campus. - >- 1,139,719 passengers in 2024 (Aeroportos de Moçambique / O Económico). More than 55% of ADM’s national 2,055,435. Do not sit leftover Wikipedia 1,051,868 (2023). Do not sit leftover Logcluster 900,000 as traffic — that is an old international-hall capacity line the 2024 count already exceeds. Do not sit leftover 2025 national totals as MPM. - >- About 5 km great-circle north of Maputo’s city-centres pin (10–20 minutes in traffic). Logcluster leftover ‘3 km’ leftover-conflicts — sit the measured pin, not the round number. No metro, no airport rail, no airport hotel. - >- Three live independent lounges: BomGarfo (intl, opened 24 Sep 2025, PP / LoungeKey MPM3, 04:00–23:59, cold buffet, no showers on Collinson) and Executivo 2000 in both halls (PP mpm1 / mpm2, LoungeKey MPM1 / MPM2, 05:00–22:00). Do not invent a Flamingo lounge or DragonPass A-codes. - >- Uber does not operate in Mozambique. Yango is the live Maputo / Matola app (yango.com/en_mz/city/maputo). Bolt coverage is thinner — confirm in-app. Rank taxis at the curb; ADM does not publish a tariff. - >- From 11 February 2026 the only official visa portal is evisa.gov.mz. British and other visa-exempt passports need an ETA before boarding — not on arrival. FCDO: about USD 47, 5 working days, print the PDF. Yellow fever only if you arrive from a listed risk country. bentoTips: - label: Timing title: Three hours if you still need the immigration stamp detail: >- TAP Maputo bag-drop opens 2h30 and closes 1h (flyTAP airport table). LAM desks open 2h for every sector and close 30 min domestic / 40 min international — but LAM’s own FAQ still wants you to appear 3h before regional and intercontinental flights. Do not sit leftover ‘LAM desks open 3 hours’. summary: >- Treat an international departure as a three-hour airport. Print your ETA/e-visa PDF before you leave home — airlines will not board you to buy it here. category: timing - label: Terminal title: 'International glass hall, domestic next door' detail: >- Check-in, immigration and the two international lounges are in the international hall. Domestic Executivo 2000 is airside Level 2 by Gate 1 and will not take an international boarding pass. The cream two-storey ‘AEROPORTO INTERNACIONAL DE MAPUTO’ façade in old photos is leftover campus, not today’s door. summary: >- Two connected passenger halls, not a single 1960s block. Follow Internacional vs Doméstico on the FIDS, not the old cream building. category: terminal - label: Food title: Eat landside or buy a lounge — airside is thin detail: >- The international hold has a café seating bank (red chairs under the skylight in 2018 photos) and lounge food. BomGarfo is a cold buffet; Executivo 2000 international has hot food temporarily suspended (LoungeKey MPM1: snacks and sandwiches only). There is no mapped drinking fountain. summary: >- Landside cafés sell sealed bottles. After international security you are looking at a café and two card lounges, not a food court. category: food - label: Status title: BomGarfo is the new PP hall; Executivo 2000 is the old one detail: >- BomGarfo opened 24 September 2025 in the international departure hall near the gates (Club of Mozambique). Executivo 2000 international is opposite Gate 1 after the first left-then-left corridor. Do not look for leftover Flamingo / FNB / Pearl Assist names. Showers are not on any Collinson amenity list — do not promise one. summary: >- Priority Pass and LoungeKey cover all three live lounges (MPM3 / MPM1 / MPM2).
