Common Scams to Avoid
Unofficial taxi touts inside Brasília, Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport (BSB) often quote inflated flat fares to the Plano Piloto that are double or triple the metered rate. Insist on using the official airport taxi queue just outside the arrivals hall or book via the airport's licensed ride-hailing app desks.
Baggage porters wearing makeshift uniforms in the arrivals area sometimes demand a set fee per bag that far exceeds the official rate posted on their badges. Politely decline unsolicited help and, if you need assistance, approach the clearly marked porter station where prices are displayed.
Currency-exchange kiosks on the landside of the terminal advertise "no commission" yet use a marked-up tourist rate instead of the official commercial rate. Compare the displayed rate against the Banco Central do Brasil reference online and, if it's unfavorable, wait to withdraw cash from an airport ATM inside the secure area.
