BG Airport to Jerusalem. One person says it is $100 US or 350 NIS. Another says don't pay more than 180 NIS.

Also what is a reasonable taxi charge to go from a TLV hotel to the airport? How long does it take to go from TLV hotel to the airport?

Thank you
I´ve done Ben Gurion - TLV city center twice last year and IIRC it was a flat rate from the airport to downtown (something like 130NIS) and slightly more going downtown to the airport depending on traffic/time of day. IIRC I paid something like 150-160NIS on the way back, though I´m not sure whether there was a late night premium (going to the airport at 2a.m. both times)

If there´s no traffic, you should expect a 25-30min drive from TLV to the airport.

I asked the taxi driver about the fare from the airport to Jerusalem and I´m pretty sure the answer was in the 250-270NIS range.
