Transportation from the City Center to Borg El Arab Airport
Borg El Arab International Airport (HBE) is an international airport located in Alexandria, Egypt, serving the city of Alexandria as well as the neighboring cities of the Nile Delta.
Alexandria is the second largest city in Egypt after Cairo. With its strategic location on the Mediterranean coast, it is one of Egypt's most important trade and tourism cities. While the city attracts business people for its oil refineries, petrochemical complexes and agricultural products grown on the fertile soils of the Nile Delta, it also attracts tourists with its ancient Greek and even more ancient artifacts.
The distance between the city center and the airport is approximately 50 km. but there is no public transportation option that covers this distance. Instead, you can take the air-conditioned buses of Egypt Bus company, which covers this distance. Buses of this company depart from Muharram Bek Bus Station, which is approximately 5 km from the city center, and the journey takes approximately one hour.
Flights depart almost every two hours for 24 hours. You can buy your bus ticket from the Egypt Bus box office at the bus station, or you can buy it online from the company's website.

You can take any taxi you see in the city to go to the airport, or you can ask the reception of your hotel to call a taxi for you. It is also necessary not to ignore the fact that taxis try to get more money from tourists in Egypt in general, but especially in touristic cities.
Therefore, you can use the Uber application, which is frequently and safely used in both Alexandria and Cairo, to go to Borg Al Arab International Airport from the city center.
Thus, you will have the chance to make an economical journey much safer than the normal taxi fare. Your journey to the airport, which is approximately 50 km away, takes an average of 50 minutes by passenger cars.
Transportation from Manila Ninoy Aquino Airport to City Center
Manila Ninoy Aquino Airport, located 7 kilometers south of the center of Manila, is also quite crowded and complex, just like the city center. For this reason, there may be some difficulties in finding buses, especially during busy periods. You have several different bus alternatives on your journey to the city centre. The reason for this is the facilities and ticket prices provided by the buses to their passengers. In Manila, it is possible to reach the city center by paying a higher price for the ticket and using high-tech vehicles such as air conditioning and television. Normally, it takes 30 minutes between the city center and the airport, but when the traffic is crowded, this time can even go up to 2 hours.
In the Philippines, minibuses made from old American buses are called 'jeepneys' and these vehicles are widely used in urban transportation. Jeepneys also provide transportation between the airport and Baclatran.
Another means of transportation you can use in Manila is taxis. When you take a taxi from the airport, don't forget to negotiate the price with the driver if you don't want to pay too much in the traffic that has become a lock due to Jeepneys.
