Unofficial 'Travel Permit Helpers': Individuals may approach offering to arrange Tibet Travel Permits for a fee at the airport. Avoid: Only arrange permits through licensed travel agencies before arrival, as independent travel requires official permits that cannot be obtained at the airport.

Overpriced 'Official' Taxis: Drivers may claim to be official airport taxis while charging inflated rates without using meters. Avoid: Use the official taxi queue outside arrivals, insist on meter use, or pre-book transportation through your hotel or licensed travel agency.

Fake Hotel Booking Agents: People posing as hotel representatives may offer 'discounted' rooms or claim your reservation is invalid. Avoid: Confirm your accommodation directly before arrival and ignore unsolicited offers at the airport - contact your hotel directly if there are any concerns.
