The intent of this thread is for Gate World members to coordinate transportation from the airport to the Hilton.
For those of travelling to Van for the 1st time (or for those with a short memory ) it'll be a bit of wait to clear Customs. It appears that all inbound flights are funneled along the same route above the departure area. You then go down into the customs area next to a running stream of water. Times vary and it is not an exact science as to how long it will take to get through customs . Be ready to wait. I've gone through in 30 minutes and then waited 1 1/2 hours at other times.
Once you clear customs you then collect your luggage and proceed through that area. Keep your custom forms handy as you collect your lugguge because you don't turn in your customs form until AFTER you collect your luggage.
You then enter the arrival hall proper and walk into a sea of humanity. You are 'herded' through this a dropped at the doors that take you out of doors.
To catch a limo they are on the far side of the traffic you're facing. You'll see the cabs slightly off to your left, again on the far side of the traffic.
A cab generally runs $37CA.
Let the connecting begin.
