As someone else mentioned in this thread, the No. 2 bus runs via the airport to the centre of town (then on to the port). St. Barbara isn't close to any of the stops, so taxi or Uber is the only practical option. If you are likely to use public transport during your stay, a 3-day travel card costs 5 Euro + 2 Euro for the card and provides unlimited travel. Compared with 2 Euro for a single trip it usually the better option. The card can be bought in the R-Kiosk at the airport.
It is also worth mentioning that no public transport goes into the Old Town, and taxi access is restricted.
There have also been requests for suggestions for places to eat/drink, and I can make a couple of recommendations here. If you want a bar that does good food and better beer then the best choice by far is Porgu
http://www.porgu.ee/?lang=en and be sure to try the Pihtla. Booking is recommended as it can get busy at the weekend, and it is closed on Sundays. If you want something a little smarter then Kuldne Notsu Korts
http://www.hotelstpetersbourg.com/re...en-piglet-inn/ is a nice introduction to local cuisine.
I'm watching this thread with interest to see if BA is a reasonable alternative to SAS for travel from TLL, so I have a vested interest in this route being 'stress tested' by everyone here, so thanks to all.
