Ground links include taxis, ride-hailing services, and airport shuttles, with fares generally ranging from modest metered taxi rates to moderate shuttle fees. Pros: often quicker check-ins and lower fares; cons: fewer long-haul connections and more limited on-site amenities compared with larger hubs.
