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 Madrid Airport to the City Center
Metro, train, bus, car rental and taxi options can be used to reach the city center from Madrid Bajaras Airport. The distance between the airport and the city center is 12 km.
The metro station, located in terminals 2 and 4 of the airport, is one of the most comfortable and economical options for those who want to reach the city center. It is possible to transfer to other metro lines going to the city center by using the 8th metro line passing through the stations in both terminals. The metro operates between 06:00 in the morning and 02:00 at night.
From the train station in Terminal 4, you can go to the city center and the surrounding areas. Trains operate between 05:15 in the morning and 00:15 at night.
It is possible to go to the city center by the bus of the Airport Express company departing from the airport, and the municipal buses numbered 200 or 204. Buses can be used between 05.00 and 23.00.
You can go all over the city by taking a taxi from the taxi stand in front of the airport arrivals terminal exit door. Bargaining and agreeing on the price before getting in the taxi are among the suggestions. In addition, you can go to the city center by renting a car at the rent a car offices at the airport or by making an internet reservation. Car rental is not recommended due to traffic and parking problems.
