Ground Transportation
There are several possibilities for ground
transportation from
Ben Gurion Airport to the Regency Hotel in Jerusalem and from Haifa
back to the airport.
A Taxi from the Airport to Jerusalem should cost about
200 NIS (approximately 48 USD). A much more affordable option is the
reliable "Shared Taxi" service (a shuttle van service called locally
"Sheyrut"). If you take a "Sheyrut" Taxi you will be sharing the ride with
additional passengers, but the rate in this case will be considerably
lower -- about 46 NIS (11USD).
The Taxi Stations and dispatcher's counter at the main
terminal are located on Level G. Both Taxis and "Special Taxis" could be
found at that level.
The Taxi companies at the airport operate under the
supervision of the Israeli Airport Authority.
Ben Gurion Airport Ground Transportation.
As for transportation from Haifa back to the airport
at the conclusion of the seminar, Both Taxis and "Shared Taxis" can be
reserved at the hotel. We recommend "Ammal Taxis" as the dispatcher for
shuttle services. Their rate is about 60 NIS (approximately 14.5 USD). The
rate for a regular Taxi from Haifa to Ben Gurion Airport is about 300 NIS
(approximately 72 USD).
An additional possibility to get from Haifa to the
airport is by
train. Hof Ha-Carmel Station is just 10-15 minutes Taxi ride from the
hotel. A train ride from there to the airport costs 34.5 NIS (8.25 USD)
and takes 75 minutes. While airport trains operate 24 hours a day on
weekdays (Sundays – Thursdays), the last train on Fridays departs from Hof
Ha-Carmel at 2:11 PM, and the first train to the airport leaves the
station on 7:08 PM on Saturdays. The
train schedule is available online.
