Transportation
There are two international airports altogether which are located separately far away. It is better to confirm the correct name of the airport you will arrive at or depart from; otherwise it's hard to recover the matters again.
Don't buy the airline ticket at airport, it's much expensive. You'd better buy the discounted ticket in advance ( normally discount 40%--60% off, much cheaper ) as the ticket price fluctuates daily; and it will be much cheaper when you buy it in low seasons.
Before you get on a taxi, make a prior deal with driver at first. If time permits, you can ask locals the about-price of your route then look for a taxi. When you just take a taxi charged only by price-counting machine, the driver will always take you to the destination round and round that you can not estimate.
Be ware of some drivers charging foreign customers twice of the normal price.
