Transportation from City Center to Gimpo Airport
Gimpo Airport, which is the second largest airport in Seoul, is busy every season of the year. Bus, taxi, car rental, metro and transfer vehicles can be used to reach the airport, which is 15 km from the city center.
Buses connecting the airport with the city center and other cities are among the most economical public transportation methods. Buses providing service to nearly 40 different lines reach the domestic and international terminals from the city center.
Another fast, comfortable and economical option in public transportation is the metro. Gimpo Airport, where metro line 5 passes, is used for direct and indirect transportation from the city center to the airport.
With the Airport Express system named AREX, Seoul Incheon Airport and Gimpo Airport are connected to each other. It is possible to transfer from the metro to some stops of the line between the two airports.
Taxis are among the fastest options to reach the airport from the city center. It is possible to use a taxi from the stops in different parts of the city. You can easily get to the airport by renting a car from offices in the city or by making an internet reservation.
Transportation from City Center to Seoul Incheon Airport
There are bus, train, airport express, private transfer and car rental options to reach Incheon Airport, which is 48 km west of the city center.
It is possible to reach the airport in approximately 1 hour by buses and minibuses departing from the city center to the airport direction. In addition, this option is quite economical.
It is possible to reach Incheon Airport quickly from the city center with the Korea Train Express.
For those who do not prefer to use public transportation, it is possible to reach Incheon Airport with options such as hotel transfer, taxi and car rental.
Transportation from Bora Bora Airport to the City Center
Bora Bora Airport (BOB), also known as Motu Mute Airport, serves the island of Bora Bora in French Polynesia. The airport, which was built by the USA for military purposes during the Second World War, was opened to commercial flights only after 1958.
Since Bora Bora is a community of islets with a population of about 10 thousand and makes its living almost exclusively from tourism, public transportation opportunities are very limited. Most hotels on the island take their guests from the airport by boat and take them directly to their hotels. Some hotels even have their own offices in the terminal. Here they meet you and direct you to the right boat.
If your hotel does not provide this service, you must first take a boat ride to Bora Bora, the main island, to get to your hotel. If you came to the island by Air Tahiti, you can show your ticket and take the free Bora Bora Navette service of Air Tahiti and switch to the boats that pass to the opposite island.
You can use the Air Tahiti services at the place you get off, or you can take one of the buses with your hotel's name on it and set off for your last stop. You can find more information about Bora Bora Navette on the website.
You can also use a taxi to go to your hotel. Although there are a few companies that have passenger transport licenses on the island, they do not tour the island to find customers. So if you are going to take a taxi, you should contact in advance and arrange a meeting point. Your hotel reception or restaurants do this for you. Since taxis do not have a taximeter, you should talk about the price before the journey begins.
Since this is a collection of islets, there are sea taxis as well as normal taxis. If you don't want to wait for your hotel's free boat or if the next boat has more to come, water taxis can be a very good option. Below you can find the contact numbers of some taxi and water taxi companies.
Taxi Simplet (tel. 79.19.31)
Leon (tel. 70.69.16)
Otemanu Tours (tel. 67.70.49)
Jacques Isnard (tel. 67.72.25)
Dino's Land & Water Taxi (tel. 79.29.65).
You can also rent a car to get around the island. Europcar (tel. 800/227-7368) is one of the biggest and most reliable companies out there. Another local company is Fare-Piti Rent a Car (tel. 67.65.28).
Both businesses have offices at the Vaitape pier. You can rent not only cars but also motorcycles and bicycles from these companies. There are approximately 32 km of asphalt roads on the island. That's why you should always drive slowly and carefully, as pigs, chickens, dogs and pedestrians can jump on the road. Especially dogs cause many accidents.
