Transportation from the City Center to Bogota Airport
You can use taxi or public transportation to reach El Dorado International Airport, which is 11 km from Bogota city center.
Minibuses named Buseta are quite common and economical. It is possible to reach Bogota Airport by taking the bus labeled "Aeropuerto" on Calle 19, which is very close to La Candelaria. In addition, airport buses pass through the main street named Avenida 26.
One of the alternatives used to reach the airport from the city center is the municipal buses with the line number P500. Cash payments are not accepted on these buses. The kiosks and newsstands in the city center sell tickets. However, the easiest method is to buy Tullave Card. It takes an average of 50 minutes to reach the airport with the P500 buses from the city center. This time may vary depending on the traffic situation.
Another public transportation option is Transmilenio's K10 buses. You can take this bus to the Portal El Dorado stop and reach Bogota Airport with the airport's free green bus Alimentador. Depending on the traffic, it may take 45 minutes to go from Bogota city center to Bogota Airport by bus, but it is a much more economical method than a taxi.
Also, taxis in Bogota are known to be unsafe, so it's wiser to opt for reliable apps like Uber rather than taking a taxi from the street.
Transportation from Asunción Airport to the City Center
Asunción Airport, or Silvio Pettirossi International Airport, with its official name, is located in Luque, Paraguay, but is known as the main airport of the capital Asunción.
The most economical way to go from Asunción Airport to the city center is the minibus-style buses that run to the city center. To get on this bus, you have to leave the terminal building and walk to the bus stop 300 meters away.
Buses with the same line number in Paraguay can go to the same destination using different routes. Here too, if you take the green number 30, you will reach the center via Mariscal López Road, and if you take the blue number 30, you will reach the center via España road.
These two routes are not far from each other, and the buses both leave their passengers at stops within walking distance of their accommodation in the city. The journey takes between 40 minutes and one hour depending on the traffic situation. You can pay the ticket price to the driver in cash. These buses operate between 05:00 in the morning and 22:00 in the evening. If you are carrying a large suitcase, it is recommended to take a taxi instead of these buses.
As soon as you exit the terminal building, you can see the taxis lined up on the road waiting for passengers. There are taxis available 24 hours a day. Although it is recommended to take a taxi from the airport station for security reasons, if you want to bargain and make a more economical taxi ride, you can go to the bus stop mentioned above and negotiate with a taxi passing by.
It is among the news that these taxis carry passengers at almost half the prices. A 30 percent night tariff is added to taxi fares between 22:00 at night and 06:00 in the morning.
You can easily use passenger transport applications such as Uber and Bolt in Asunción. Thus, you do not have to have cash and you have a safer journey because you have a record in the application.
One option is to rent a car from trusted car rental companies that have offices in the terminal, such as Sixt and Europcar, and explore the city yourself. Thus, you can also handle your airport transfer.
