## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Look beyond the corsair-like hall and head upstairs at Gate 7 for the uncommonly quiet Salas Internacionales VIP Club.
- _Time_: Main parking to city center by taxi can consume 20 minutes—handy when scheduled for peak US-bound departures.
- _Quiet_: The check-in area landside remains the friendlier choice for sleep-seekers avoiding armrests and seat scarcity despite louder overhead announcements.
- _Money_: Negotiate taxi fare prior to departing the airport; ad-hoc rates near the entrance can catch first-timers unnerved and overcharged.
- _Local_: Airside's modest duty-free collection surpasses the landside assembly in quality and variety, well-suited for impromptu cocktail mix sets.
- _Quiet_: Solitary rest-seekers prefer Salas Internacionales VIP Club's secondary perch on the third floor for restorative solace.
- _Insider_: While the car rental kiosks within the terminal are immediate, do inquire about all-inclusive deals before settling on wheels for excursions.
