La Paz Airport is the world's highest international airport, at 4,058 metres (13,313 feet) above sea level, almost half as high as a jetliner's cruising altitude. Takeoffs require a longer runway due to the thin air.

 

Tip: Take your time as you get off the plane, don't rush to avoid line-ups. If you rush, you will be seriously out of breath and may suffer medical complications (some people suffer altitude sickness upon arriving). Just walk slowly to the immigration area.

 

La Paz Airport services include:


  • Duty free shopping
  • Restaurants and bars

 

There is an airport departure tax of USD 25 (about 174 BOB) for international flights, less for domestic flights (BOB 15). The tax must be paid in cash, but several ATMs which give out USD are available in the terminal.




 Disabled Facilities at the LPB La Paz Airport


There are facilities for disabled travellers at the La Paz Airport, including wheelchair ramps and specially equipped restrooms. You are advised to contact your airline with any special requirements prior to departure.
