Common Scams to Avoid
Unregistered or 'pirate' taxis at the curb tout a flat "airport fare" that can be double the metered rate. Insist on using the official airport taxi cooperative desks inside the terminal where you prepay a fixed voucher.
Baggage porters in yellow vests grab luggage without asking and then demand a high fee per bag. Politely decline any unsolicited help and only use uniformed porters at clearly marked stands who display an official price chart.
Kiosks selling SIM cards or currency exchange near arrivals advertise "no commission" but bury a poor rate in the fine print. Compare rates at multiple booths or wait until you reach a bank or mall where competition is higher.
