Keep the key details saved.San Salvador, El Salvador
San Salvador: confirm the pickup before you exit arrivals.
At El Salvador International Airport, send your driver the flight number and fix a specific meeting point. The airport operator CEPA publishes flight information online, so share that link with anyone collecting you if your arrival time changes.
Save the hotel name, full address and entry code in a single message, whether you are staying in San Salvador or heading straight to the coast. Agree the destination and fare with your transport provider before you set off.
A small data plan covers the first arrival messages, but downloading a whole area map after landing eats into it. Save maps and booking attachments over Wi-Fi before departure.
Save before you goYour flight details, the driver's message thread and the exact accommodation entrance.
El Tunco: request the surf school entrance details.
El Tunco sits along the La Libertad coast. When booking a lesson or transfer, ask for the school or guesthouse entrance rather than a general beach pin, and keep the agreed time in the same message.
The national tourism site lists visitor and transport details for El Tunco. Use your connection to confirm the next leg with your operator, especially if you are returning to the airport instead of San Salvador.
After a day in the water, uploading video to YouTube or sharing clips can burn far more data than the messages that arranged the day. Leave full photo and video backups for Wi-Fi if the same allowance needs to last the rest of the trip.
Save before you goThe lesson meeting point, the return pickup time and the accommodation's contact details.
