Airports in India can be extremely chaotic, which provides a perfect opportunity for touts, thieves and conmen. As you would anyway, don't trust strangers and stay alert. Also remember a
few safety tips.
 |
Never leave your luggage, briefcase or other items unattended. When you set them down, place them between your feet or against your leg. |
|
Avoid currency exchange windows if possible or exchange only a small amount. Do not let others see how much currency you are carrying. |
|
Be wary of imposter porters or guides. Assure they are properly uniformed or identified. |
|
Pre-paid taxis and auto rickshaws (3 wheelers) are available from the airport. Use only authorized, properly identified taxis. If you have a lot of luggage, it is advisable to pre-book a private car transfer with your travel representative. |
|
Assure all your baggage is placed inside the taxi trunk and the lid is closed before entering the taxi. |
|
Don't accept an offer to share a taxi to your hotel unless you know the individual. |
|
Beware of touts offering cheap accommodation or deals. They are usually cheats and conmen. |
