Taking a taxi in the morning or evening outside of rush hours is probably the most reliable method of transport to the airport in densely populated Durban. It’s also possible to reach the airport with rented cars or shuttle company buses.
You can reach the airport by taxi from the city centre in around 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic conditions. It might be a good idea to speak with the taxi driver beforehand and let them know your time of departure to not have any bad surprises for your journey.
The shuttle buses that leave for the airport depart from Durban Station in the city centre, depart once every day at 8:00, 11:00, and 16:00 and reach the airport in around half an hour.
The traffic flows on the left side in Durban, so if you come from a country where you drive on the right it might be a better idea to hire a car with a driver rather than getting behind the steering wheel yourself. If you come from country where cars drive on the left side, you might be more at home with this option.
There is only one terminal in King Shaka Airport where there is an ABSA bank, which opens half an hour before the first flight and closes half an hour after the last flight. In addition, you can find financial services from the ATMs of First National Bank, Nedbank, and Standard Bank. There is a prayer room for Muslims, and a post office that offers services depending on the first and last flights of the day. There are baby and childcare rooms that mothers can use.
In addition to these services, the airport has many lounges. The most exclusive ones are the South African Airways Business Class Lounge, found near the entrance of the terminal, and BIDVest Premier Lounge. In these lounges you can order some food and rest on comfortable seating areas to read books or newspapers.

Manhattan Regional Airport is located in Manhattan, Kansas in the United States of America. After arriving at Manhattan Regional Airport which is about 8 km southwest of Manhattans city center, you can take one of the airport taxis or use transporation such as Uber and Towncar. Another option is to rent a car from the airport.
The airport taxis provide a 24/7 transportation service from just outside Manhattan Regional Airport arrival terminal and it will take about 10-15 minutes to reach Manhattan city center which is 8 km away. To get a taxi you can pay a fee between 20-25 US dollars. If a taxi fare exceeds your transportation budget, you can download the Towncar or Uber application on your mobile phone to find a more affordable transportation way.
You can rent a car within a few minutes by choosing one of the domestic and foreign car rental companies at the Manhattan Regional Airport terminal building. The distance between the airport and downtown Manhattan is short so if you are staying in Kansas for more than a few days renting a car can be a more profitable alternative.
