Using the taxi service is the best choice.
To get there, continue folowing the exit signs. You will also notice signage for the taxis as well. Once you make it out of the baggage area and over the sky bridge, you'll wan to turn left and use the elivators if you are carrying large peices of luggage. If not, turn right for escalators.
