You can also hire a private car to bring you. We recommend using Eilker Transfer, most of our guests use them.

You will need to walk over to Terminal 1 (about a 10 minute walk) to catch the bus (they do drop off people at Terminal 2, the international terminal which you will arrive at, and depending on the driver they may let you board but it’s not guaranteed).
