Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside the terminal offering rides at seemingly good rates, but often charge inflated prices or take longer routes. Avoid by using only official taxi stands outside the arrivals area or pre-booking through verified ride-hailing apps. Look for metered taxis with official markings.

Currency Exchange Scams: Some airport exchange counters or individuals may offer poor exchange rates or use confusing calculations to shortchange travelers. Avoid by checking current exchange rates before arrival, using ATMs from major banks inside the terminal, or exchanging only small amounts at the airport for immediate needs.

Fake Porter Services: Individuals may grab your luggage uninvited and demand excessive payment for 'helping' you to transportation. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help, keeping control of your luggage, and only using official porter services if needed. Agree on any fees before accepting assistance.
