I'm excited about the airport, but unfortunately a bit stressed out because I have an 8am flight in a few days and there's no hotel near the airport where I can stay, and I'm not the familiar with Kunming (I live in the Lincang area). I do know that taxis can be hard to come by, though, which worries me for early morning.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where I should stay the night before to make sure I can get a taxi to the airport / be nearest to the airline rail? (Sleeping at the airport is an option, too, haha. Can't miss this flight)
