Transportation from the City Center to Brasília Airport
Brasília International Airport is the only airport in the city of Brasília and with its relatively close location to the city, it makes the work of tourists very easy.
Buses that run directly from Brasilia city center to the airport are called “Ônibus Executivo”. Depending on where you are in the city, buses numbered 113, 113.1 and 113.2 take you to the airport quickly.
These buses are taken from the main bus station or from the stops in the north or south hotel areas and the journey takes an average of 70 minutes. Buses depart every 35 minutes between 07.05 and 20.50 on weekdays and do not operate on holidays, including Sunday. Travel ticket price is paid on the bus and in cash.
The city of Brasilia has an extensive public transport network. It is possible to find a bus to the airport from many parts of the city, but you may still need to transfer to get to the airport. For the list of buses passing through the airport, you can check the official website of BSB.
Brasília is a city where transportation apps like UBER and Cabify are used. This is also good for your security because pirate taxis are common here and these pirate taxis are not very reliable. Tensions can arise between taxi drivers and tourists from time to time. Tourists are warned not to be deceived by people who say they are UBER drivers and to compare license plates.
Transportation from Salvador Airport to City Center
Salvador Airport is an international airport serving the city of Salvador, Brazil. There are many ways to reach the airport, which is 22 km from the city center of Salvador. The most economical of these is to use airport buses. Buses leave from the terminal next to the parking lot.
Bus number 1001 goes from the airport to Praça da Sé, bus number 1002 goes from the airport to Campo Grande, bus number 1003 goes from the airport to Lapa. The journey from the airport to many points in the city center takes approximately one hour and 20 minutes.
A slightly more laborious but equally economical option is to take the subway. The metro station can be reached by the free shuttles departing from the airport. The flights, which start at 05:00 in the morning, depart every 15 minutes until midnight. The journey takes about 50 minutes after the metro departs. You can check the official website of Bahia Metro for information about services or stops.
As there are regular taxis that open taximeters at the airport, both prepaid companies have the authority to transport passengers from the airport. The payment counters of these two prepaid taxi companies, Coometas and Comtas, are located on the arrivals floor. You make your payment and get on one of these taxis with the receipt you get from the box office. In this way, the price you will pay in case of traffic jams or in any other situation does not change, and you overcome the language barrier between you and the driver.
You can use the Uber application, which is used safely in many cities of the world, at Salvador Airport with peace of mind.
If you want to rent a car to reach the city, most of the global car rental companies have offices in the airport lobby, serving passengers 24/7.
