I have a friend coming who will be checking a bag. I have never checked a bag. How do taxi drivers handle bags. Is there a bag charge? ( we usually use Rachel Where is the bagage pick up area at the air port? Do you get your taxi first then get your bag? She will be ariving at 8pm. Is there a problem getting a cab at a later flight? Any and all advise for her. We never arive that late, and never check bags, and always have used Rachel ( this will be our first time not using her).

Baggage claim is past check in away from boarding by the bar. You get your bag first then get a taxi yes the charge you extra for the bag not sure how much. There will be taxis around as long as flights are coming in.

Not much different from any airport. Get your bag, then get your taxi.

It's maybe $2-2.50 for the bag (we've used Rachel the last few trips)

She'll also have to pay for the bag when she gets her ferry ticket.

Hi there....
Rachel was waiting for us right outside the bag claim. She was parked across the first lane of traffic and in the parking lot just beyond the first lane. However, she poked her head into the area where we picked up luggage and had a sign for me so I knew who she was. Amazing woman. Now I'll never forget her!
Have a great time..... can't wait to hear about your days in paradise!!

I know that Rachel is the best ! My friend is just one person on a budget and is going to use a public taxi for the trip over. We are a group going home, so we will use Rachel on the way back.
