Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Hotel car arranged in advance, meeting you with your name at arrivals, straight to the door.
- Precision
- Gbessia is north of the centre on the airport road; few reliable taxis wait after the last arrival (field-verify); confirm the pickup with your flight number.
- Late-night threshold
- 22:00

If it breaks
- Message the hotel your flight number and ask for a car with your name at arrivals; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.
- Agree the fare before you get in; carry small GNF notes or euros for the ride.
- If no ride is available, sleep near the airport: do not walk or drive the road at night.
- Check visa, e-visa and yellow-fever certificate rules for your passport, and your government's travel advice, before you fly.
