Hello. Well I have been reading about the difficulties with the airlines (though it seems the flights are getting in okay now) and the taxi situation. We go in 3 1/2 weeks and we always just catch a cab outside the airport to our hotel.
Has anyone had trouble getting cabs at the airport without prior service set up?
Thanks for any guidance!

Never a problem. Many waiting during the day. Now at night I don't know.
At night the cabs are usually at the hotels/timeshares waiting for the restaurant traffic.

As long as there are flights due in there are cabs at the airport. They do not leave until the last flight arrives.

Thanks! We hadn't had problems in the past but with the strike/protest issues I wanted to make sure it was still working well. Sounds like it is!

I'm here now. No problems with taxi's at the airport. Enjoy your trip.

Liz,have a great vacation.

We were there last Friday the 4th around 4PM and there was a slight issue with cabs. Had about 50 people on the curb not sure whether they should form a line or jump out there. Turned into a free for all. There was a local guy aggressively flagging down cabs for people and making a few bucks. Took us about 20 -30 minutes to get one.

I have used the cabs from the airport a lot and we have never had a problem, but I will say sometimes are easier than others. When there are a bunch of people there it begins to get a bit unruly.

If the people would take a breath, it would be a much happier situation!!!!

I was there the same afternoon and had the same issue. Never encountered that there before.
