Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Your hotel's transfer or a licensed taxi from the rank, straight to the door.
- Precision
- One international terminal; the taxi rank and hotel-transfer counters are outside arrivals (field-verify). Many flights land in the evening or at night.
- Late-night threshold
- 22:00
Steps from landing (p50 / p90 minutes)

If it breaks
- Send your flight number to your hotel before you fly; ask for the transfer in writing.
- Immigration queues can pass an hour when several flights land together.
- Book island boats for the morning after your arrival night only if you have a buffer; late flights rarely connect.
- Use the licensed taxi rank or your hotel transfer; decline offers inside the hall.
