  • How do you normally get to the airport?

    For (many) airports around the world, there are multiple ways of getting there... how do you normally get to the airport?

    When going from my mom's to EWR, I either take the NJ Transit "metro" train to the airport stop, take the bus, or drive.

    When I go to ACY, I either hop a cab or drive, depending on what I'm in the mood to do. There is talk that NJ Transit will open an Airport station on the Atlantic City line, which bypasses the airport.

    To CDG
    -first I catch a suburban train which I either leave at
    *LaDéfense Business district station, or at
    *Saint-Lazare station in downtown Paris and end of the line
    if connecting at LaDéfense, which I usually do at any cost ...
    *ride an express subway A train until Châtelet-Les-Halles, wait on platform
    *connect on express subway B train until CDG 1 or 2, end of the line
    if connecting at Saint-Lazare, a mistake, will understand why :
    *small walk to Auber & Opéra
    *get on board RoissyBus, direct coach service set up by parisian mass transit company RATP linking all terminals, and cross my fingers the f*ck*en highways won't be clogged by traffic jams. Very rarely use it !
    if I fly
    -get off the station and catch a shuttle bus for proper terminal
    if not
    -get off the station and walk to the spotters'&photographers' morning locations
    To ORY
    same as above until getting at Châtelet-Les-halles
    * connect on B-line express subway opposite direction from above
    * leave at Denfert-Rochereau
    * get Orly-Bus, RATP mass transit quick service to ORY
    if going for picturing
    * step out at Aérogare Sud (South-Terminal), get to the flight of stairs leading to highway & national road 7 tunnel running benneth building and wait for bus # 285, leave it at next stop, then walk about 300 yards and get to "Green Belt / Coulée Verte" area adjacent to runway 26/08, unpack and wait for airplanes to show up !!!

        Re:

        I get to Will Rogers Airport by car. Only once have I gone there by cab.

        To get to BOM, we rent a private taxi from a local business (this is frequently done in India).

        Happy Flying!

          For me its a question of "when" I get to the airport not "how."

                            That means 3 hours and 45 minutes.

                            60/100 = 45/75
