Make sure to avoid all the people shouting taxi at you. They are the rip-off taxis. Just take a normal taxi from the queue and make sure he turns on the meter.

I was just going to post this sugestion as well! From what I recall, the "real" taxis are outside the terminal area - you'll see a stand. They write out a slip with your destination and hand it to your driver.

Oh, and do be sure that the meter goes on! I got into a number of metered taxis and they would start negotiating with me! My favorite line was "after 1 am, we don't use meters!" I just got out and found another.
