we might not be using a airport taxis, its my first trip.. taxis is white so we tot same as others.. well the scam taxi came with meter, its only for awhile later.. we realised the meter was ticking/adding every sec.. den we realise the fake.

well i would say u are correct, should always board the taxis at arrivals.. safer .

the point is.. look out for "co-driver"/un-identify friends of drive who got up after a short drive..

if u take the airport taxis on arrival :-

terminal 1 - meter
terminal 2 - flat fee
terminal 3 - 2 queues , flat fee and meter
terminal 4 - meter

terminal 1 to 3 arrival is different levels to departure, no way u can make mistake if u stay on departure level and look for taxis sign

terminal 4 is the only terminal where departure n arrival same level but still the airport taxi queue line is quite clear, the departure drop offs r somewhere near the gate at terminal 4.

regarding people jumping in, easy solution, tell the taxi driver to lock all doors when he on the meter. actually locking all doors is good practice anywhere u take a taxi in manila.
