Most common airport transport options and their advantages / disadvantages
| Option | Advantages | Disadvantages |
|---|---|---|
| Public transport (bus / metro + bus) | Cheapest option; good for city lines; more environmentally friendly | Transfers, luggage difficulties, time-dependent; worse coverage at night/non-standard times |
| Shared cars / apps (Bolt, Uber) | Flexibility, often fast; apps allow ordering in advance | Dynamic prices, cancellation of orders, sometimes less transparent price; drivers may not know the location |
| Fixed price / pre-booked taxis | You know the price in advance; comfort, the driver is waiting for you; possibility of special requests (car seat, large luggage) | Higher price than the cheapest public transport; need to order in advance |
| Own car / parking at the airport | Maximum control over time; convenience if you have a car; short-term parking near the terminal | Parking price, parking stress, need to find out parking options in advance |
Why choose a fixed-price taxi – main advantages
- Price known in advance – no surprises, no broken taximeter.
- The driver is waiting even if the flight is delayed, or with a sign – comfort upon arrival.
- Customization options – child car seat, larger suitcases, VIP car.
- Comfort and time saving; you don’t have to worry about where to get off, how to change, or how many minutes the public transport journey will take.
What to look out for when ordering a taxi to the airport
- Find out if the price really includes all additional charges (parking in front of the terminal, waiting, luggage).
- How to recognize a reliable service: license, reviews from previous passengers, clear contact details.
- Check if the service is monitoring your flight (in case of delay) – the fact that the taxi is „waiting“ can in practice mean up to an hour’s delay.
- In the case of a large amount of luggage / a group of passengers, book a larger car.
Tips for a comfortable journey to the airport
- Book a taxi in advance, preferably a day or a few hours in advance – you will reduce risk that the car will not be available at the required time.
- Check the departure terminal – Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 – and the meeting point with the driver.
- Track the arrival of your flight online – if it is delayed, let the taxi service know.
- Before leaving, make sure you have everything ready (documents, flight ticket, passport, luggage); keep your phone + charger with you while you wait.
