Transport to and from the airport:
Ben Gurion Airport is Israel’s major international airport. The airport is not actually in Tel Aviv, but rather on the outskirts of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area.
Train
There is very good direct train service between Ben Gurion Airport and Haifa, with trains almost every hour all night long.
Note:
- Check the trains between the Hof HaCarmel station and Ben Gurion Airport. The hotel district is a short taxi ride from the Hof HaCarmel station that costs around 50 shekels.
- Trains and buses do not run between Friday afternoon and Saturday after sundown. If you have a Saturday flight, please refer to the taxi options.
Taxis
Special shared taxis wait at the airport to fill up (~ 8 people) and then take the passengers to their addresses in Haifa. The disadvantage of these taxis is that they wait to fill up, but a big group will fill one up right away. These cost around 100 shekels per person and can be ordered for trips between Haifa and the airport as well. More information on airport taxis
