⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • Use only taxis from the official airport rank; ignore touts in the arrivals hall offering cheap rides.
  • Make sure the taxi meter is switched on; a 2026 airport supplement of €4.60 is included automatically, but no luggage fee should be added.
  • For the direct bus from T1, do not pay unofficial helpers at the stop; buy tickets directly from the driver or official machine.
  • If you pre-book a private transfer, confirm the price and meeting point before your flight to avoid airport imposter drivers.
