Frequent travelers recommend using the less-crowded security checkpoint at the far left of Terminal 1 domestic departures, which often has shorter queues than the central checkpoints.
🚖 Getting There
The airport is well-connected by road; prepaid taxis and app-based cabs are the most convenient options.
