Transportation from Quito City Center to Quito Airport
Although Mariscal Sucre International Airport is approximately 40 km from the city of Quito, it is quite easy to reach by using various vehicles in the city.
One of the most convenient ways to reach the airport is to take the private buses that run between the city center and the airport. These buses depart from the old airport, which is currently used as a park, and arrive at the new airport after about an hour's journey.
Buses depart every half hour on weekdays and every hour on weekends. Free internet service is available on the buses. One suitcase and one hand luggage up to 23 kg are included in the ticket price. You have to pay an additional fee for extra baggage. Tickets are available online or at the bus ticket office.
City buses to the airport depart from the Rio Coca terminal just outside the city centre. Buses operating between 05.45 in the morning and 21.30 in the evening take you to the airport in approximately 1.5 hours depending on the traffic situation.
You will not have any trouble finding a taxi, especially in the touristic center of the city. You can either turn from the street or ask the receptionist of your hotel to call a taxi for you. Taxis apply pre-determined price tariffs from the city center to the airport, and when traveling towards the airport, you pay 3-4 dollars less than the arrival schedule.
Transportation from Brisbane Airport to Brisbane City Center
Airtrain is an easy and fast option to get from the airport to Brisbane city centre. The train leaves every 15 minutes during rush hour and every 30 minutes at other times, and the journey takes about 20 minutes.
You can buy your ticket from the ticket offices in the terminal or you can buy a Translink Go card and use it. However, if you buy your ticket from the Airtrain website, you do not pay any extra fee for the return ticket. The train runs between 05.04 - 22.04 on weekdays and between 06.04 - 22.04 on weekends.
The easiest way to get from the airport to the city center is to take a taxi. BNE Airport has covered taxi stands on both domestic and international flights. There are also employees helping customers at these stops during rush hour. While the domestic taxi rank is located right in front of the terminal building, the international taxi rank is located on the second floor, on the left as soon as you exit the door.
The city center is reached after a 20-minute journey under normal traffic conditions. It is worth remembering that the ring road fee and airport tax are added to the taxi price.
Brisbane Airport has been supporting shared transfer services for a very long time. The vehicles you call from Uber, Didi, Ola and Sheba applications are waiting for you in the special section reserved for you at the airport. By following the direction signs at the airport, you can go to the special waiting area reserved for this type of vehicles. It is worth remembering that the ring road fee and airport tax are added to Uber-type services, as is the case with taxi fares.
In addition to these, you can purchase the service of Con-X-ion, which provides door-to-door service at Brisbane Airport. This service, which you can get on both domestic and international flights, takes you from the airport to the door of your hotel. The tickets of the company, which has its own ticket office in each terminal, can also be purchased online.
