Meeting your driver at the airport
After you clear customs at AICM, walk straight out through the arrivals doors to the street — your host waits outside the terminal, not inside, holding a sign with your name, then takes you directly to AIFA. For a same-day airport connection, a prearranged private car removes the biggest risk: not finding a ride in time.
