Transportation from the City Center to Budapest International Ferenc Liszt Airport
Budapest International Ferenc Liszt Airport is the country's largest international airport serving the capital city of Hungary, Budapest. The airport, formerly Budapest International Ferihegy Airport, still continues to be called by this name from time to time. The airport, located 16 km southeast of the city, was established for military purposes in 1939-1944 during the war. Later, it was rearranged in 1947-1950 to be converted into a civil airport. Today, more than 40 airlines use this airport. Budapest Airport experiences its busiest period in July, August and September.
There are options such as bus, minibus, taxi or car rental to reach Budapest Airport from the city center.
Undoubtedly, the most economical option is buses. Between 04:00 and 23:00, bus number 200E runs between Kőbánya-Kispest metro station and Terminal 2. To reach the airport from the city center, you can first take the metro numbered M3, which goes in the direction of Újpest Központ, and then the bus numbered 200E. It is possible to buy your tickets from automatic machines or ticket offices. You can take the bus after you get on the bus, but it is a little more expensive.
Another way to reach the airport from the city center is to use minibuses. The miniBUD shuttle service with which Budapest Airport is contracted offers a comfortable and fast travel service to those who want to go to the airport.
You can also use taxis, but be sure to discuss the price in advance.

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.
