Please note that if your flight departs late on the evening of September 21, you will need to check out of your hotel room by 12 pm that day. In this case, you may want to consider booking an additional night directly with the hotel so you can keep your room up until your departure to the airport.

The hotel staff can provide directions on how to walk across the sky bridge that links the hotel to the international terminal.

Regardless of the outlet’s appearance, it is important to note that the electrical current is still 220 volts unless otherwise noted on the outlet.
