Transportation from City Center to Salvador Bahia Airport
There are many ways to reach the airport from the city center. The fastest of these is to take a taxi or call a car from the Uber app. The distance is about 22 km and it takes an average of 30 minutes to reach by car under normal traffic conditions.
If you are looking for a more economical way, the airport buses passing through the city center are perfect for this job.
If you are coming from the direction of Praça da Sé, you should take the bus number 1001, if you are coming from the direction of Campo Grande, you should take the bus number 1002, if you are coming from the direction of Lapa, you should take the bus number 1003.
Buses from the city drop off their passengers at the terminal next to the airport parking lot. The journey takes approximately one hour and 20 minutes under normal traffic conditions.
Using the airport metro stands out as another economical option. The subways that pass through the city center at intervals of about 15 minutes arrive at the airport stop in approximately 50 minutes. After getting off at the last station, you reach the terminal building by taking the free shuttle from here. You can check the official website of Bahia Metro for information about metro services, travel schedule or stops.
Transportation from Comodoro Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport to Santiago City Center
Arturo Merino Benítez International Airport stands out as an easy-to-reach airport with its location approximately 20 km from the city center. There are many ways to reach the city center from the airport.
The easiest of these, of course, is to take a taxi. You can take two types of taxis from the airport. One of them is the taxi called Vía Controlada, which is under the control of the airport and you can get on by paying in advance, with a fixed tariff, in order to prevent fraud, and their color is blue. Others are taxis that serve with taxi meters and their colors are yellow-black.
In addition, Cabify and Uber companies provide service in this city and their prices are close to normal taxis.
Another option is to use the airport buses. There are two companies operating from the airport to the city. One of them, Centropuerto, organizes reciprocal flights between the airport and Los Heroes Metro Station. These flights are organized every 20 minutes between 06:00 in the morning and 23:30 in the evening, every day of the week, and every hour after midnight.
Another company, TurBus, organizes reciprocal flights to Los Héroes Metro Station between 06.00 - 22.30 only on weekdays.
One of the most suitable options for this journey is the shuttles that have offices at the airport. Although this minibus service, which leaves when full but takes you to your hotel, is more expensive than the bus, it stands out as a very reasonable option as it leaves you at the door of your hotel. The journey can take between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the location of the places where the dolmus passengers stay.
Although there is a metro in the city of Santiago, it is not possible to reach the airport by metro yet.
