When we recommend leaving Higüey
Three hours before the flight is our standard here. The drive is 45 to 60 minutes in daylight and a little longer before dawn, when the unlit stretches are driven slower. Add the terminal — a small one-hall airport where a charter wave fills the security line — and three hours is comfortable rather than generous. If you are leaving from a family home on a street the driver has not used before, we call the evening before to confirm the exact corner.
