  • Forgetting that many 5-star southern resorts (JW Marriott, Premier Village, New World) offer complimentary airport pickup if booked in advance.
  • Only enter marked green Mai Linh or white Vinasun taxis, or book rides via the Grab app; refuse private drivers attempting to divert you to unaffiliated resorts.
