TL;DR

For a late-night or early-morning airport trip, a taxi is usually more practical because city buses may not run overnight. Check a pre-booked ride on Trip.com to see the fare in advance and reduce waiting time.

Pre-booking through Trip.com lets you view the airport fare and arrange a car before departure rather than searching for a taxi at the last minute.
