It is only possible to reach the airport from Colombo city center by bus and taxi. Alternatively, you can also travel with private cars that can be rented from car rental companies located in the city center.
Taxi drivers in Colombo, which is moving towards to becoming a global world city, also keep up with this development. Almost all of the taxi drivers are clean-wear, polite and speak English, which increases the quality of service. Despite being expensive compared to other alternatives, it is preferred because of its ease of reaching anytime.
The bus number 187-E3, which is used to get to the airport, collects passengers at different bus stops all day except night time. It serves as an economic and fast transportation option.
As in all major cities, it is also possible to find quality and reputable car rental companies in Colombo. You can request the model and brand you want from the companies you can reach easily via Internet and telephone.
Bandaranayike Airport, which links Colombo to the world and hosts many passengers every year, consists of a medium sized single terminal building. There are many services ranging from pharmacies and health centers to foreign exchange bureaus and bank ATMs at the airport. There is a beauty and spa center in the terminal which also has an animal care room for pets of passengers.
Baristar Coffee Lanka, Burger King, Deli Food & Spicy, HVA Foods, Nestle Lanka PLC, Palm Strip Restaurant and Relax Inn Food are the places where passengers can meet their eating and drinking needs during waiting periods.
For shopping there are Abans Pvt, AMF Duty Free, Asian Electricals, Aventure Holdings, Chamber of Gifts, Classic Electronics, Crown Electronics, Citizen, Gomez's and Odel stores. The airport also meets the accommodation needs of its passengers with the Serediva Transit Hotel in it.
Coron Airport, located in Coron, Philippines, is about an hour away from the city center. You are lucky if you land during the day, because the road to the city from the terminal has a very pleasant view. But you should know that, you have only two options for transportation from the airport to the city center, minivan and shuttle, since there are no taxi or public transportation facilities in Coron.
If you have not booked any transfers before your travel, the only way to get to the city center from Coron Airport is to use minivans waiting at the exit of the terminal. These minivans, which would take you to the city center in an average of an hour for 150 Peso per person, operate with the logic of a collective taxi. This is why you might wait a while before the vehicle is full and ready to depart. If you do not want to wait at the airport you should make a reservation before your trip. If only you make a pre-reservation and pay an additional fee, the vehicle would depart without waiting as soon as you land even if you are alone.
If you are going to stay in one of Coron hotels, you can contact your hotel before your flight and request a transfer from the airport to the city center. The fee for hotel transfer would be around 150 pesos, similar to the minivan fee.
