This is the cheapest option to get to and from OTP airport – NOT the most comfortable

The taxi costs 25euro

You can also hire a private driver, I had that option when I arrived but I got it for free from booking.com which was great as I was on my own and landed at night so this worked perfectly for me!

The local 100 bus takes you to the airport – it looks like this but is an accordion bus so can fit more people
Line 100 stops

This points you to Rome2rio and shows bus times from the below bus stop just across from old town
I caught the bus from UNIVERSITATE

This bus line is popular! I couldnt get onto the first one so had to wait for the next one, lucky i had factored in extra time (just in case)

NOTE: I did catch it at peak hour, 4:45pm but it ranges from 30mins-1hr depending on traffic

Easy tap your credit card onto the machine and its 2 euro for the trip
The whole time I was standing as nobody really got off until the stop before the airport, so 1 hour standing up and swaying – hot and sweaty!

It was like Japan where they squash into every mm of the bus, the doors could barely close but people were still jumping on

This was the bus upon exiting!
Got to OTP airport aftyer a good 1hr
