I'm staying in Jerusalem and flying out from Ben Gurion airport on a Saturday, when the public transport does not function. What is the best way to get there?



Best Answer

Nesher Tours is the operator licensed by the Israeli Airport Authority to operate shuttles to Jerusalem, they operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (except for Yom Kippur). On their site they have two different services:

  • Taxi to BGA: costs 64 NIS for pickup from anywhere, or less for pickup from their station.

  • Suttle to BGA: costs 61.9 NIS, picks up from anywhere.

I couldn't understand from the site what is the difference between the two services. In either case, you need to call them to coordinate, their phone number is 02-6257227 (or 072-264-6059, 1599-500-205).
