Before you land
Check which bus line or taxi band matches your final address so you know the cost before you leave the terminal. Keep small change for bus fares, which are paid in fils. If you want data working on landing, set up an eSIM before you fly so you can check routes and fares as soon as you arrive.
Skip the airport Wi-Fi
Airport Wi-Fi usually means a sign-up page, an email address and a connection that stops at the terminal doors. A data eSIM keeps you online at the gate, in the taxi and at the hotel, and your own number stays on for calls and bank codes.
