Ground options include taxis and app-based rides (common fares often fall in a moderate range), airport shuttles, and occasional local buses; private transfers are also available. Pros: reasonably compact terminals and direct international connections; cons: peak-hour congestion and limited late-night public transport can affect convenience.
