Terminal 1: the main terminal
Terminal 1 handles the vast majority of international flights, including most long-haul and full-service carriers. Arrivals pickup for private transfers happens at the designated area just outside the arrivals hall, where your driver will be waiting with a name sign.

Terminal 2: mostly low-cost carriers
Terminal 2 is smaller and mainly serves low-cost airlines. It's a short shuttle bus ride from Terminal 1, and the pickup process works the same way — your driver waits at the arrivals exit with your name clearly displayed.
Key things to know
- Always share your exact flight number when booking — this is what allows your driver to track your flight and know which terminal you'll land at
- Free waiting time is included for flight delays, so there's no rush if your flight is late
- If you land at Terminal 2 and your driver is used to waiting at Terminal 1, real-time flight tracking prevents any mix-up
- Signage inside both terminals clearly marks the 'Arrivals' and taxi/private transfer pickup zones
