## Insider tips

- _Insider_: Cafe Santo Domingo near check-in serves quality local coffee — the atrium location is a favorite among locals.
- _Time_: Immigrating early? Sit near the front of your plane for a head start to passport control.
- _Avoid_: Avoid airport currency exchanges due to unfavorable rates; use ATMs instead.
- _Quiet_: The outer departures curb is a calm spot for meeting rideshares away from the chaos of arrivals.
- _Local_: Dive into local favorites like Barra Payan for sandwiches rather than settling for fast food post-security.
- _Money_: Use the official taxi window to avoid price negotiations and secure a flat fare to Santo Domingo.
- _Time_: Expect document checks through security and at some U.S.-bound gate lines; factor in extra buffer time for departures.
