Book transfer ↗ Search this airport’s booking products → How should I choose an airport transfer? Start with the arrival point near your accommodation, boarding terminal and vehicle changes. These are documented routes, not every route into the city.
Listed journey times describe the documented segment, not a door-to-door hotel journey. Check operating hours and luggage conditions for your arrival date through each operator link.
Late arrival and last-service planning Landing time is not boarding time. Check the service information above against the operator’s timetable for your date, then prepare a fallback and confirm late check-in.
