Before you book a transfer

Pick a bus or ferry that leaves at least 1.5 to 2 hours after your flight lands, to allow for bags and immigration.
Check the pickup point on your ticket. Some trips start at the airport, others at a bus station or pier in town.
Ferries to the islands stop running in the late afternoon. If you land late, plan a night near the pier and take the first boat.
