Transportation from Thessaloniki City Center to Thessaloniki Airport
The easiest way to reach SKG Airport from the city center is to take a taxi, as you can find a taxi almost anywhere in the city at any time. If you are right in the city center, this 13-15 kilometer road takes about half an hour. Taxi fares in Thessaloniki can be considered more affordable on average compared to many European cities.
Another way is to use the buses, the first stop of which is Thessaloniki Central Train Station. While this journey takes approximately 40-50 minutes with the 01X line you will take during the day, it takes approximately 50-60 minutes with the 01N bus you will take at night.
You can buy the necessary ticket for the journey from the kiosks in the squares before you get on the bus, or you can pay in cash when you get on, but you will need coins for this. Also, ticket machines on buses do not give change. You have to operate the ticket you bought from the kiosks from the machines on the buses, otherwise you may be penalized in any inspection.
Transportation from Manila Ninoy Aquino Airport to City Center
Manila Ninoy Aquino Airport, located 7 kilometers south of the center of Manila, is also quite crowded and complex, just like the city center. For this reason, there may be some difficulties in finding buses, especially during busy periods. You have several different bus alternatives on your journey to the city centre. The reason for this is the facilities and ticket prices provided by the buses to their passengers. In Manila, it is possible to reach the city center by paying a higher price for the ticket and using high-tech vehicles such as air conditioning and television. Normally, it takes 30 minutes between the city center and the airport, but when the traffic is crowded, this time can even go up to 2 hours.
In the Philippines, minibuses made from old American buses are called 'jeepneys' and these vehicles are widely used in urban transportation. Jeepneys also provide transportation between the airport and Baclatran.
Another means of transportation you can use in Manila is taxis. When you take a taxi from the airport, don't forget to negotiate the price with the driver if you don't want to pay too much in the traffic that has become a lock due to Jeepneys.
