What to expect when you land at PVR
PVR has a single main terminal with international arrivals on the ground floor. After immigration and customs, walk straight out through the exit doors — our host is waiting immediately outside the terminal holding a sign with your name and our logo. Do not engage with the timeshare and taxi representatives inside the terminal corridor. Keep walking straight out to the exterior.
