💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors know the terminal is compact with limited food and shopping after security, so eat beforehand and carry cash for landside purchases; also double-check whether your hotel is in Tanjung Pinang or North Bintan, as transfer times differ greatly.
🚖 Getting There
Official taxis and pre-booked hotel transfers are the most reliable ways to leave the airport; public transport is not practical for most visitors. Agree on the fare or use the official taxi counter before departing, and allow extra time if you are heading to North Bintan/Lagoi, which can take 1.5-2 hours by road. For late-night arrivals, arrange your transfer in advance because options are limited.
