Transportation from City Center to Phuket International Airport
Phuket International Airport is an international airport located in the island of Phuket and the city of the same name, located in the south of Thailand.
The airport is located in the north of the island, 32 km from the city center of Phuket. Phuket International Airport plays an important role in Thailand's tourism industry, as the famous Phuket Island is a frequent destination for vacationers. After the two airports in the capital, Bangkok, Phuket Airport is Thailand's third busiest airport. Phuket Airport broke a record with 11.3 million inbound and outbound passengers in 2013. Today, the airport hosts 10 domestic and foreign airline companies.
There are options such as buses, minibuses, taxis and limousine rentals to reach Phuket International Airport, which is 32 km from the city center.
The first option that comes to mind, buses, unfortunately do not run very often between the airport and Phuket city center. Bus services are planned to be expanded in the near future.
You can rent a car with a fixed fee from car rental companies that offer private limousine, private minibus and group minibus options.
You can also use taxis to reach the airport from Phuket city center. It takes about 30 minutes to go to the airport by taxi.

Transportation from Kualanamu Airport to Medan City Center
Kualanamu International Airport, also known by the code KNO, is the country's second largest airport located in the North Sumatera Region of Indonesia.
The fact that there is direct access to the airport by train makes it very easy to transfer to the city center. There are 40 reciprocal flights a day between Kuala Namu Airport and Medan Airport Train Station, and the train takes you to the city center in 30 to 50 minutes, depending on the time you board. The ticket fee can be paid online from the company's website, or it can be paid in cash or by credit card at the ticket office. You can find the current timetable on the official website of the railway.
DAMRI minibuses are the most economical way to go to the city center. When you exit the airport gate and turn right, you will see the DAMRI ticket office. You can buy your ticket from here and get on these shuttles that run between the airport and the city center. These minibuses depart every 15 minutes between 05.00 and 23.00. The distance is 40 km and the journey takes about 60 to 90 minutes.
You can also take a taxi from the airport for this journey. Taxis that are allowed to carry passengers have a sticker on their windows showing this. For your safety, make sure that the taxi you take has this sticker. The journey takes between 60 and 90 minutes depending on the traffic situation. Considering that the fare increases proportionally when the traffic is very heavy, taxis are no longer an economical option.
There is no Uber in Indonesia, but Grab and Gojek fill that gap very well. Both applications are cheaper than the taxi option, but if you come across a congested traffic, it is possible to pay a higher price. However, if you are traveling as a large group, it may be even more economical than the Grab/Gojek train option.
