Dress in layers
Mornings are cold before sunrise and warm quickly after landing—bring a warm outer layer you can remove.

Pick-up is very early (pre-dawn); arrange hotel transfers and allow extra time for narrow city streets.

Layered jacket
Early mornings can be cold; layers let you adjust as the sun rises.
