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.

Seville, the central and most important city of the Andalusian Autonomous Region in the south of Spain, is an inner harbor, thanks to the Guadalquivir River, although it is 87 kilometers away from the Atlantic Ocean. Wine, olives, mushrooms and fruits are exported from the city, which is the most important internal port of the country. There is an airport in Seville, which is also an important shipbuilding center. There are several alternatives to transport from the airport.
The most important means of transportation to be used on the way to the city from the airport which is 15 kilometers away from Armas Square (Plaza de Armas) in the city center is the buses. EA named buses carry passengers to Seville's center every half hour. During an average half-hour journey, the buses also come to the train station where the rail system lines, called AVE, are integrated. They work between 05.20 in the morning and 01.15 in the night.
At the Seville Airport, the taxis are located at the exit of all terminals. The taxis that you can take from here reach Armas Square in the city center in about 15 minutes.
