Middle of the night arrival/departure in Barbados
Alo,
I'm flying JetBlue, arriving at 3am, then my flight back leaves at 4am. Will there be taxis from the airport at 3am I can take to my AirBNB?
And what is the best way to get to the airport by 2:30am on the day of my departing flight? Can I call a reliable taxi? Or should I plan to catch a cab much earlier in the evening and just wait it out at the airport. I have Priority Pass but the one lounge appears to close at 8pm.. that'd be a long 8 hours of waiting.

In my experience anywhere in the Caribbean, if there is a flight landing, there will be taxis. And usually the taxi driver taking you away from the airport will ask you a series of questions:
--
13F
- is this your first time here?
- how long are you going to stay?
- do you need a ride back to the airport?

13F

Every taxi we have used in Barbados hands us a business card for the return pick up (usually for dinner)..most of the time they didn't even collect the fare until the return trip. Like PP said, grab a few business cards.
