Osvaldo Vieira International Airport (OXB)
OXB to the city: one pre-booked hotel car, 20–50 minutes — the risk is a flight that lands with no ride arranged and few taxis afterwards, not the distance.

- Africa ↗When a route touches a yellow-fever country — even a transit of 12 hours or more — keep the original yellow card (ICVP) in your hand luggage; health desks and airlines can refuse boarding or entry without it.
- Africa ↗Nine African countries on this site have no trip line because governments advise against travel; several others have no-go regions. Read your government's advice for every country on the route before paying deposits.
- West Africa ↗Carry an original yellow fever vaccination certificate on any West African trip: several countries on the coast road demand it of every arrival, and the rest demand it after you have passed through a neighbour.
- West Africa ↗Cross land borders and drive between cities in daylight only; plan each crossing as a full travel day with cash for fees and passport copies for checkpoints.
- Guinea-Bissau ↗Check visa and entry rules for your passport on official Guinea-Bissau government sources before booking.
- Guinea-Bissau ↗Political instability occurs; avoid gatherings and check your government's advice before and during the trip.
- Guinea-Bissau ↗A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required of all arriving travellers; carry the original with your passport.
- Bissau area ↗Sleep in Bissau the night before an international flight: boats and the airport road can run late.
- Bissau ↗Broken pavements and heat: bags go from the car to the door, never on a walk.
- Bissau ↗After dark, use a hotel-arranged or known car door to door; do not walk between clusters.
- Bissau ↗Avoid demonstrations, military areas and any gathering; check your government's advice before you book and again before you fly.

Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Hotel car arranged in advance, meeting you with your name at arrivals, straight to the door.
- Precision
- Osvaldo Vieira is north-west of the centre; there are few flights a week and few taxis after the last arrival (field-verify); confirm the pickup with your flight number.
- Late-night threshold
- 22:00

If it breaks
- Message the hotel your flight number and ask for a car with your name at arrivals; do not count on finding a taxi late at night.
- Agree the fare before you get in; carry small XOF notes or euros for the ride.
- If no ride is available, sleep near the airport: do not walk the road at night.
- Check visa and yellow-fever certificate rules for your passport, and your government's travel advice, before you fly.
