I’ve got a pair of relatives flying to GIG from Europe in late April and will be arriving early evening. Despite their IBIS hotel being really close to Santos Dumont airport, I would like them to take the quickest and most direct route to their hotel.

I know after you clear customs there are the screaming ladies in the taxi booths offering tickets for their cab service. Is it best to bypass them and then buy the taxi ticket outside of the secure area? If not, is there a recommended choice of which of the booths to hit?

Incidentally what is the going fare for a taxi from GIG to close to SDU?
