Transportation from the City Center to Belize Airport
Belize Airport (Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport) is of vital importance in the country's tourism as the only international airport of Belize, a Caribbean country.
Although the city of Belize, which was the capital of the country in the past, has lost this title due to water rise and flood risk, it is still the most important and known city of the country. Despite this, your options are very limited to get to the airport from Belize city center, where public transportation is not very developed.
Among your options, there is a private transfer that you can book from the hotel you are staying in or from a professional tourism agency. With this transfer, it takes approximately 20 minutes to be picked up from the door of your hotel and dropped off at the airport, which is 15 km away.
Another option is to use taxis, which you can easily find from anywhere in the city. You can find taxis here, especially in touristic places and clustered around big hotels.
You can distinguish Belize taxis by their green license plates. Taxis here do not have taximeters, so you should definitely have talked about how much your trip will cost before you start your journey. You can also consider hiring a car, as it is a known fact that taxis in Belize are not very affordable means of transportation.
If you have rented a car, it is also very smart to deliver it at the airport. You can deliver the car to the rent-a-car companies that have offices in the airport parking lot and catch your flight immediately.
Considering that your passport and check-in procedures may take longer than usual in high season, it is useful to plan ahead. You may need to confirm with the airline whether the two hours required for international flights will be sufficient for your flight.
Transportation from Port Au Prince Airport to the City Center
Toussaint Louverture International Airport, also known locally as Port Au Prince Airport (PAP), is known as the busiest airport in Haiti.
As the capital and most populous city of Haiti, Port-au-Prince is also the country's gateway to the world. Besides being a tropical holiday destination, it is known as a historically important location because it is an overseas French colony.
The country suffered a heavy blow as a result of an unfortunate earthquake in 2010, and then tensions increased in the country as of the second half of 2022, as it suffered the shock of the pandemic.
Therefore, you do not have many options to reach the city center from the airport. The most logical option is to arrange a reliable transfer for you from the hotel where you will stay. Thus, after you get off your plane and go through passport control, it's just a matter of finding your driver who holds your name. It takes an average of 15 minutes to go to the city center, which is 5 km away, due to the poor infrastructure.
Another option is to take a tour from a tour operator that you believe is reliable by reading reviews on global websites like Viator. Thus, the tour bus picks you up from the airport, tours you all day and then drops you off at your hotel. There is a one-day tour and airport transfer in between. So you're killing two birds with one turn.
Although there are car rental services of companies such as Avis and Budget at the airport, a car with a driver is recommended instead of renting a car, since the infrastructure and road condition of the country is very bad. If you still want to rent a car, you should take a short walk to the car rental offices in the car park inside the terminal.
If you are going for a job, the most logical option may be to ask a coworker to pick you up.
