Israel is a home to all people of good will and no matter where you come from, the Israeli will try to help you and assist you in any way possible. The hospitality and beauty of the Holy Land brings a lot of tourist to Israel. That’s why Ben Gurion is one of the busiest airports in the world. – and we are here to explain to you how to get to the ben gurion airport from almost anywhere in israel! Getting to Ben Gurion means your journey has just begun. It can often get pretty complicated to get to your desired destination from the Israel’s biggest airport. Many people have had remarks on the airport organization and transportation before but it has been modified and made easier over the last few years. That’s why you have us! We’re going to show you all the possible ways to get to all the major cities in Israel. Read on and find out the best ways to and from Ben Gurion airport! About Ben Gurion Airport As we said, this is one of the busiest airports in the world but it is also famous for its numerous services and facilities located inside the establishment. Currently, there are two terminals and as in most cities, one hosts low-cost companies’ flights and the other houses international and long-haul flights. If you arrive early or have to sleep at the airport, don’t expect to get a good night sleep outside airport hotels. This airport is very busy and it will be really difficult for you to find a place to find peace and quiet. There’s free WiFi all over the establishment and the facilities are modern and clean. Security measures at Ben Gurion The most common question about the Ben Gurion Airport is why are the security measures so tight? Well, since the airport is so busy it’s logical to assume that the people responsible for security want to ensure everyone’s safety and precaution is the best way to do it. That’s why we advise you to get to the airport as soon as you can and arm yourself with patience since you’ll be asked a lot of questions. If you plan a sleepover, expect the security officials to check your passport and ticket during the night. Airport Lounges and Hotels Another useful feature of Ben Gurion Airport is that there are lounges where you can relax or sleepover inside the facility. The price for lounges varies but the cheapest pass is around 35$. You can find more information on the airport’s website. As far as hotels go, there are a couple of them near the airport. Avia Hotel and Resort, Sadot Hotel, Leonardo City Tower Hotel, Crowne Plaza Tel Aviv City Center are only some of the hotels located near the airport. For pricing and other information, you can visit their websites. Additional Information While you wait, Ben Gurion has a lot of useful features and facilities for you to use. From ATMs and Car Rentals to Children Play Rooms and restaurants. There are even showers and medical services available right at the airport. Ben Gurion is truly a modern airport with all facilities you might need. From Tel Aviv to the ben gurion airport This is the best option since it is convenient and cheap due to proximity of Tel Aviv and Ben Gurion airport. There are options ranging from using the Airport Shuttle Services, sherut, train or buses to taking a taxi or renting a car. The options are numerous and we’ll discuss each option in detail. Shuttle transfer from Ben Gurion to Tel Aviv and vice versa is probably the best and cheapest way to travel between these these two destinations. Great, modern vehicles and punctuate timetables are some of the main advantages of this way of travelling to and from the Ben Gurion Airport. There is the possibility of online booking and there are no hidden fees. All information can be found on Flo shuttle website (https://www.withflo.com/1305/Tel%20Aviv).

We’ll start with the best one and then move one to other options if you don’t like our suggestion. Monit Sherut (מונית שירות) / Shared taxi It is truly an amazingly convenient way of transportation. You basically share a taxi with other travelers. The only downside is that you have to wait for the taxi to fill up with people before leaving. However, since Ben Gurion is quite busy, you won’t have to wait long. For getting to the airport, you’ll find Sherut options close to the Central Bus Station, on Jaffa street. The Sherut vehicles go to the Airport, Tel Aviv or Beit Shemesh. You can also have a sherut vehicle pick you[…]
