Unlicensed Taxi Drivers: Unofficial taxi drivers may approach you inside terminals offering rides at seemingly good rates, but often charge inflated prices or take longer routes. Avoid by only using official taxi ranks outside arrivals, marked with clear signage, or pre-booking through licensed services via official airport apps or booking widgets.

Currency Exchange Scams: Some airport exchange bureaus offer poor rates with hidden fees that aren't clearly displayed until after the transaction. Avoid by using ATMs from major banks for better rates, or exchange only small amounts at the airport for immediate needs. Check current exchange rates on your phone before any transaction.

Fake 'Airport Officials': Individuals wearing unofficial uniforms or badges may offer to 'help' with luggage, directions, or transportation for a fee, then demand excessive payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help, seeking assistance only from official information desks clearly marked within the terminal, and keeping your luggage with you at all times.
