Israel has 10 airports, the main one being TLV. They serve Metzada, Beer-sheba, Tel-aviv, Rosh Pina among others. For each: its IATA code, the city it serves, and how to reach the centre.

Airport to city

Train & bus · Israel Railways serves Ben Gurion (Terminal 3) with stops in Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Rishon LeZion, Modiin and Jerusalem. At night, when trains stop, shared 'Nesher' taxis run to city centres.

Taxi & apps · Metered taxis from the official rank, with a fixed airport surcharge. Apps (Gett, Yango) work and can be pre-booked. Tipping taxi drivers isn't customary; rounding up is fine.
