Arriving at a new airport can be a little confusing, especially when you need to get to the city. From Juanda International Airport (SUB) in Surabaya, there are several convenient ways to get to the city center and hotels, which vary in cost, travel time, and comfort level. This information will help you choose the optimal option, considering your needs and budget.
Official taxi stands are usually located directly near the exit from the arrival terminal. Always pay attention to official signs and avoid offers from private drivers who may offer inflated prices. Before the trip, clarify with the driver whether the price includes baggage fees and possible road tolls. Usually, a trip to the city center will take from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on traffic. The cost can range from 10 to 20 euros.
A private transfer is a convenient option, especially if you are traveling with a large company or with a lot of luggage. Usually, after booking, you will be informed of the meeting point at the airport (often near the arrival area with a sign with your name). Be sure to confirm the transfer details in advance, including the type of vehicle and the final destination. The price for a private transfer is usually fixed and can range from 25 to 40 euros, depending on the vehicle and distance.
Shared shuttles are a more economical option, but they may take longer as the shuttle may make stops at different hotels. Usually, they are suitable for travelers who are not in a hurry and want to save money. The cost of a shared shuttle can range from 5 to 15 euros. Check the schedule and route of the shuttle to make sure it meets your needs.
From Juanda Airport, you can get to the city by bus or train. Buses are the cheapest option, but they can be crowded and slow. Trains are a more comfortable and faster option, but stations may be located further from your hotel. It is worth considering that public transport may be inconvenient with a lot of luggage. The cost of a bus or train ride can be from 2 to 5 euros.
Travel time to the city depends on many factors, including the time of day, traffic, and the chosen mode of transport. During peak hours (morning and evening), traffic can be significantly more difficult. Popular destinations from Juanda Airport include downtown Surabaya, Malang and other cities in East Java.
