Transportation from the City Center to Djibouti Airport
The official name of Djibouti Airport is Djibouti–Ambouli International Airport and it is also the main airport of Djibouti, the capital of the Republic of Djibouti. Although not well known, Djibouti is an undiscovered tourism destination that offers many touristic experiences to its visitors.
You do not have any public transportation option to get to Djibouti Airport from Djibouti city center. You will either take a taxi or hire a private transfer. Taxis in Djibouti are your hands and feet here. Especially if you are going to stay longer, try to find a contact from your friends or colleagues who have been here before.
If you can't find a contact and you like the service you get from the taxi driver you get on, get his contact number without looking for more adventures and do not be surprised by that driver during your trip. It is easy to find a taxi in the city. A special stop area is reserved for taxis in Djibouti Bawadi Mall.
If you are not in a place like a shopping mall, you can find taxis grouped around the Heron Hotel and the Kempinski Hotel. If you are far from here, the places you should look are around La Galette, Place Menelik or Moulk Center. Taxi fares are always negotiable. In addition to the local language, French and Arabic languages are also widely spoken here. Therefore, you will not have a big problem when communicating with taxi drivers. The airport is located approximately 10 km from the city center. Although the airport is close to the city center, the journey takes about 20 minutes due to the condition of the roads.
Apart from a taxi, the best remaining option is to arrange a private transfer. You can do this from several places. First of all, if there is a tour you buy online, add your airport transfer to it, another one is to book an airport transfer from online sites or contact the hotel you are staying and use the hotel's transfer directly. If you are going to Djibouti for business, you can ask your colleagues there to drop you off at the airport.
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.
