Most important tips

Know before you go

A compact traveler cheat sheet for timing, terminals, food, and disruption checks.

24h PP

Both Pearl Assist products listed 00:00–23:59

Priority Pass Pearl Assist landside + airside — max stay 3 hours; under-2 free.

Payment cards not accepted for lounge entry on either PP strip.

Flow

Match landside vs airside Pearl Assist

Landside sits after check-in before immigration; airside after passport through Duty Free on the right.

Airside product is International-only — wrong flow = wrong door.

Lounge F&B

Thin public PP F&B strip

Public PP pages emphasize location/hours/conditions; no rich F&B list on research day.

No first-party HA F&B rating — follow live PP strip.

Ground

Resort transfers dominate from ~60 km out

Hotel and dive-resort transfers plus taxis are the practical ground default.

Agree fare / confirm hotel pickup before curb exit; no invented municipal bus pin.
