Zero-brain vs precision
- Daytime default
- Licensed airport taxi from the official rank; agree the fare to your hotel before you get in.

If it breaks
- Send your flight number and hotel name to the hotel before you fly and ask about late check-in.
- Use the licensed taxi rank only; agree the fare and the currency (BBD or USD) before you get in.
- If the desk is closed, sleep near the airport rather than knocking at a closed hotel.
