Common Scams to Avoid
Unmetered taxi drivers at the arrivals curb quote a flat 'airport fee' that is 2, 3 times the metered fare. Insist on the meter or use the airport's prepaid taxi counter inside the terminal.
Porters in unofficial uniforms grab bags from the carousel and demand a high fixed fee for wheeling them 50 m to the curb. Keep control of your luggage or agree on a small tip before letting anyone assist.
SIM-card vendors just outside the secure area sell pre-activated packages that expire in days or contain little data. Buy from the official carrier booths inside the terminal or compare current plans online first.
