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 Kingston Airport to City Center
Kingston Airport, officially known as Norman Manley International Airport (KIN), serves the city of Kingston, the capital city of Jamaica. The most economical option to go from the airport to the city center is to take the 98 numbered Port Royal – City center bus.
This bus operates between 05.35 and 22.11 on weekdays, between 05.28 and 09.52 on Saturdays, and between 05.53 and 22.13 on Sundays and public holidays. You can check the stops and times of the bus on the official website of JUTC.
Another economical option is to use the private buses of the Knutsford Connect company. These large, air-conditioned buses arrive at Kingston Bus Terminal in New Kingston in approximately 30 minutes. You can find the times of reciprocal flights on the company's website.
While the two options above drop off their passengers at certain stops, shuttles like minibuses departing from the airport drop their passengers off at their hotels in the city center. Since these minibuses take off when they are full in direct proportion to their names, the waiting time can sometimes reach 45 minutes. You can recognize these vehicles by their red license plates and the PPV or JUTA letters on their license plates.
As you can rent a private shuttle service to your hotel from the same company, your hotel probably also has a shuttle service. By using this service, you will reach your hotel directly from the airport and you will not have to deal with anything else.
Kingston is a city rich in sights. You can reach your hotel in the city center by renting a car as soon as you land, and you will not have to find another means of transportation as long as you stay in the city. In addition to global brands such as Avis and Budget, there are offices of several local companies in the terminal building. You can find the full list of companies and their contact information on the boards at the airport and the information center.
