Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Take the taxi outside arrivals or book one through your hotel; a bus is possible but the schedule is not confirmed until verified.
- Precision
- Nuuk Airport has one small terminal with a taxi stand outside (field-verify). Flights from Copenhagen, Reykjavík and domestic connections arrive on set days, but timings here also model a delayed landing.
- Late-night threshold
- 18:00

If it breaks
- Send your flight number and hotel name before you fly; ask the hotel to book the taxi.
- Carry your passport: Greenland is outside the Schengen area even though it is part of the Kingdom of Denmark.
- If the flight is delayed or diverted (for example to Kangerlussuaq), ask your airline for the rebooking and your hotel for a late-arrival note.
- Do not rely on a bus late in the evening: keep a taxi number.
