Tel Aviv is very rich in terms of transportation. Buses, trains and taxis are running all day to carry passengers to the airport. Car rental companies with offices in the city center meet special requests of passengers.
Taxis offer service all day. You can get to the airport in about 25 minutes by taxi. It is recommended to demand the receipt from the driver before getting off the taxi. In addition to standard taxis, you can travel from the early hours of the morning until the night with Sherut taxis. Sherut stops are usually located side by side with bus stations in different parts of the city.
Bus route 6, which you get on from the bus stops located in the city center, offers service until 10:00 pm. In Tel Aviv, which has a lot of traffic in the morning and evening hours, you may need to take the road a bit earlier by taking into account the departure time of your flight. Since the names of the stops in Tel Aviv are written in Hebrew, it is beneficial to get information about the route in advance by making search online.
Since trains are fast means of transportation, they are the commonly preferred options in Tel Aviv. However, because trains run every two hours, you should learn the departure times of trains in advance. Transportation to the airport by train which you will get on from the Tel Aviv Train Station lasts approximately 12 minutes.
In Tel Aviv, which is a crowded and complicated city, the fact that all of the signs are in Hebrew makes it difficult to drive for foreigners. For this reason, renting a car is a difficult option. Nevertheless, it is possible to get in contact with one of the car rental companies from the internet and rent a car very easily.
The international airport of Tel Aviv, which can compete with the world cities, is also quite dazzling. At the airport, which has three terminal buildings, everything is aforethought for the passengers.
Terminal 1, used for regional flights, is painted with the colors representing the three sacred mountains of Israel. Terminal 2 is only used as a cargo terminal.
Terminal 3, where international flights are made, has a small store called Buy&Bye. At the airport where smoking is prohibited, there are many restaurants that offer the flavors of the world cuisine, a post office and a large number of stores for passengers wanting to do some shopping. In addition, there are two synagogues for the Jews in the terminal.
Although there is no public transport from Basra Airport to the city center, the airport has shuttle service. You can also go take a taxi if you wish. If you know someone in Basra, do not hesitate to ask them to pick you up at the airport. The hotels do not provide a shuttle service.
There is always a taxi at the airport. But taxis do not have taximeters and drivers can demand very high fares. You must agree and negotiate in advance about where you will go. It is possible to reach the city center in half an hour by taxi.
Shuttle services are arranged at the airport every day of the week. The services do not have a standard departure schedule, but they are departing according to the aircraft's landing time.
