Money exchange and Internet access

While several currency exchange services can be found in the international terminal, opposite the terminal and across the parking lot is Travel Exchange. Compared to other currency exchange services, major banks included, Travel Exchange consistently offered a slightly better exchange rate for Ariary in 2010 through 2012. The Aerocyber internet access point can be found next door.

Restaurants

Good restaurants can be found in both the domestic and international terminals but not inside the flight departure area after check-in. Alternatively, an outdoors restaurant can be found opposite the parking lot, close to the petrol station, as well as a restaurant and cafe directly at the petrol station. For those with three or more hours to spare between connecting flights, a visit to the Croc Farm in a park on the other side of the runway is recommended. There is a good restaurant with crocodile burgers on the menu can in the park. A taxi should take about 10-15 minutes each way.
