Transportation from City Center to Charleston International Airport
Charleston International Airport (CHS) is located in the US state of South Carolina. Since South Carolina is a large and developed region, you can reach the city center by many different means of transportation.
If you have stayed at one of the well-known chain hotels like the Hilton or Holiday Inn nearby during your trip, you should contact your hotel and ask if they provide you with free airport shuttle service. The list of hotels that provide free shuttle services is written on the airport's official website. You can also choose your hotel according to this service.
If you are not staying at one of the hotels that provide free shuttle services, you can take bus number 11 from the stop in front of Tanger Outlets in the city center to go to the airport. Operated by the CARTA bus company, this bus takes you from the stop in the city center to the airport. You can buy a digital ticket by downloading the company's application to buy a ticket, or you can pay the ticket price in cash when you get on the bus. You have to give full money because the driver is not authorized to give change.
For a more comfortable journey, you can take any taxi in the city. If you are looking for a more economical option than a taxi, you can also use Uber and Lyft applications, where you can find a very easy vehicle in the city. If you are traveling as a large family or group, you can also use a private transfer service that you can book from your hotel or online.
Thanks to a service that will take you directly to the airport before your flight, you will be able to handle this transfer without getting tired. The 20 km distance between the city center and the airport takes an average of 20 minutes.
If you have rented a car on your trip to Charleston and are planning to deliver it before your flight, you should plan your time well. Especially if you are going to fly in a time of high season such as Christmas or Thanksgiving, you should plan considering that there may be long queues in front of car rental companies.
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.
