Ben Gurion International Airport

Ben Gurion Airport is about 20 km southeast of Tel Aviv, next to Highway 1 on the northern edge of Lod. The fastest public option is the train from the station under Terminal 3, which reaches Tel Aviv Savidor Central in about 15 to 20 minutes. Taxis from the official line and Kavim bus 445 also run into the city.

No. Although it is known as Tel Aviv's airport, Ben Gurion sits outside the city, on the northern outskirts of Lod in Israel's Central District. It is about 20 km from Tel Aviv and about 45 km from Jerusalem, and it serves both cities as well as the rest of the country, with good rail and road links in each direction.

The quickest way is the Israel Railways train from the station under Terminal 3 to Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon, which takes about 25 minutes. Afikim bus 485 also runs to Jerusalem, shared taxis (sherut) leave when full, and official metered taxis are available around the clock. Jerusalem is about 45 km southeast of the airport along Highway 1.

Ben Gurion Airport has two passenger terminals. Terminal 3, opened in 2004, is the main building, with four concourses and all international arrivals. Terminal 1, the original terminal, handles domestic flights to Eilat's Ramon Airport and, since July 2026, some international departures. A free shuttle bus connects the two terminals around the clock, every 15 minutes or so.

Most airlines, including El Al, Lufthansa, United Airlines and Delta Air Lines, use Terminal 3, and every international flight arrives there. Domestic flights to Eilat use Terminal 1, and since July 2026 some airlines also send international departures from Terminal 1. Because assignments can change, check your departure terminal with your airline before heading to the airport.

Official airport taxis are run by Gett and wait at Exit 03 on the ground floor of Terminal 3 and at the main exit of Terminal 1, 24 hours a day. You order at a self-service kiosk or in the Gett app, receive a ride code by text message, and show it to the driver. Fares are metered, and you can pay by cash or card.

Yes. Israel Railways has a station on the lower level of Terminal 3, with trains northwest to Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Haifa and southeast to Modi'in and Jerusalem. Trains to Tel Aviv take about 15 to 20 minutes and to Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon about 25 minutes. Many services stop on Shabbat and Jewish holidays, so check the timetable.

Yes, through Gett, the official operator of authorized airport taxis. The Gett app lets you order an on-demand taxi from the airport line or schedule a pickup at least two hours ahead with your flight number, and it tracks the ride in real time. Rides are in licensed, metered taxis rather than private cars.

Yes, if you hold a passport from a visa-exempt country. Since January 1, 2025, those travelers need an approved ETA-IL electronic travel authorization before departing for Israel. It is issued by the Population and Immigration Authority and should be requested only on the official gov.il website, which aims to answer within 72 hours.

Service is limited. Many Israel Railways trains and intercity buses stop from Friday afternoon or evening until Saturday evening and on Jewish holidays, so check schedules if you land then. Official metered taxis run around the clock all week from both terminals, and a pre-booked driver is another option when trains are not running.

Most travelers head to Tel Aviv and Jaffa on the coast, about 20 km away, or to Jerusalem, about 45 km to the southeast, both reachable by train from Terminal 3. Others continue north to Haifa and the Galilee or southeast to the Dead Sea, while domestic flights from Terminal 1 connect with Eilat's Ramon Airport.

Israel uses Israel Standard Time, UTC+2, and moves to daylight saving time, UTC+3, in summer. The currency is the new Israeli shekel (ILS). Summers around Tel Aviv are hot and dry, while winters are mild with most of the year's rain, so the weather you land in depends a lot on the season.

Ben Gurion Airport is operated by the Israel Airports Authority, a government-owned body. It handled about 19.2 million passengers in 2025, including domestic travelers, with about 140,700 aircraft movements. El Al is the main airline, and the airport has three runways, the longest of which is 4,062 m.
