Notes
ESM (Esmeraldas, Ecuador) is a small single-terminal regional airport. Premium amenities such as sleep pods, spa, meditation/prayer rooms, exercise facilities, and showers are not advertised and are uncommon at tier-3 Ecuadorian airports, so set to false. Security wait (~10 minutes) estimated from small-airport averages in Ecuador outside peak times. Minimum connection time (35 minutes) estimated for a compact single terminal with short distances; most traffic is point-to-point. Noise level marked 'moderate' due to compact spaces and PA announcements. Natural light marked 'good' based on typical modern small-terminal designs in Ecuador that use glass facades/daylighting. Air quality ~8.0 reflecting low traffic and natural ventilation in a coastal climate. Walking distance (~200 m) approximates curb to farthest gate; there are no people movers. Fast track and lounges with beds not evident. Healthy food options are uncertain due to limited public documentation.
