Transfer between terminals: The free airport shuttle buses transfer passengers between the terminals 1, 2 & 3 every 5-10 mins 0510-2300. At Terminal 3, the shuttle bus runs from outside departures. Note: These buses have no dedicated storage area for baggage and can get very full. Taxi drivers may tell you that the free shuttle bus runs very infrequently, which uis not true. However, if travelling with heavy baggage, it may be a good idea to take a taxi between terminals.

Beware: Due to the very high exchange rate, it is very easy to make a mistake when handling local currency. Some of the money changers may use this to their advantage. To avoid this problem, it is probably safer to use an ATM/Cash machine. These are located at all terminals (1, 2 & 3).
