Getting to\/from Penang International Airport<\/h3>\n

At the taxi counter in the arrivals hall, passengers can ask for assistance. Once the helpful staff know, which hotel a visitor is heading for, they will issue a voucher to the visitor, for which the visitor pays and the tourist then takes the paid voucher to the taxi stand.

This system is designed to reassure foreign travelers, who might be worried that due to language difficulties they might not negotiate the correct fare.<\/p>\n\n
