What happens after you land at any airport

The sequence is the same everywhere. The details below help you make the right call for this airport.

01

Exit arrivals

Follow the terminal signs, collect your bags, and confirm the pickup point before you head outside.

02

Choose transport

Compare the taxi rank, local rail, and a pre-booked transfer based on your route, luggage, and arrival time.
