Here’s a step by step guide to getting to Seville Airport. There are several airport transfers that will get you from Seville’s city center to your terminal.
The airport is very well connected to the city and other transport hubs (bus and train stations). Moreover, the cost is relatively cheap compared to other European cities.
There is no right or wrong option. It only depends on where you’re lodged and how much you want to spend.
Allow plenty of time to get to the airport. Despite Seville public transport is very reliable, a mechanical breakdown or a traffic jam may come up.
How to get to Seville airport
There are several options to get to the airport:
- Bus. Despite it may not always be the fastest approach, there’s a bus route serving the airport. It’s a good option when traveling from Santa Justa train station, Plaza de Armas bus station or Prado de San Sebastián bus station. Approximate cost: 5€.
- Taxi. Definitely the riskiest option I can imagine. Approximate cost: 25€.
- Private transfer. Obviously the most comfortable and fastest option. Approximate cost: Depends on the people in your party.
- Ride-hailing services. Cabify, Uber, and Bolt operate in Seville and you can use them to reach the airport. Approximate cost: Depends on current demand for rides.
You can’t reach the airport by Metro or by Cercanías train.
Getting to Seville Airport by bus
The EA (Especial Aeropuerto) line buses are white with a big “Bus Aeropuerto Sevilla” yellow sign on the windows.
They offer a direct trip between the airport, Santa Justa train station, Plaza de Armas bus station and Prado de San Sebastián bus station.
From the city center (the closest stop is at Torre del Oro) to the airport, the Airport Express bus runs from 4:30 to 00:30, and tickets can be bought directly from the driver.
The bus stop is outside the terminal, just in front of the Departures hall (floor 1).
The buses frequency is between 13-20 minutes during the day and 35 minutes at night.
Under normal traffic conditions, the trip from
- The Torre del Oro should take no more than 50 minutes.
- Santa Justa should take no more than 35 minutes.
Getting to Seville Airport by taxi
In Seville, taxis are easily recognizable. Official taxis are white with a yellow stripe and the coat-of-arms of the city. There are no special taxis to drive you to the airport; any taxi can take you there.
The trip between Seville and the airport takes about half an hour but it depends very much on the traffic conditions and your accommodation location.
The journey from the center of Seville to the airport should cost 25-30€. All taxis must have a fares chart displayed inside the vehicle.
Please note that there are 3 specific fares to/from the airport:
- Fare 3: Monday to Friday from 7:00 to 21:00.
- Fare 4:
- Monday to Friday from 21:00 to 7:00.
- Saturday, Sunday and holidays, during Semana Santa (Easter) and the April Fair from 7:00 to 21:00.
- On December 24th and 31st, all day.
- Fare 5: During Holy Week from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday and during the April Fair, from Tuesday to Sunday from 21:00 to 7:00.
No taxi driver is allowed to charge you for your luggage, for departing from Santa Justa, or at night or during weekends. However, an extra charge can be added to this fare, if you booked a taxi on the phone or through an app.

Getting to Seville Airport by private transfer
Reaching the airport by private transfer is the fastest and most comfortable option.
At your accommodation, your liaison staff member will be waiting for you, holding a sign with your name on it. He’ll help you with your luggage and lead you to the vehicle, most commonly a spacious, comfortable air-conditioned vehicle.
Your private driver will take you directly to Seville Airport, where he’ll help you again with your luggage before you enter the Departures hall.
While driving from your hotel to the airport, your driver will be polite and helpful, will not smoke, will drive carefully and observe traffic regulations.
Let me make this clear: this is not a common airport shuttle. You’re booking your own private vehicle – it’s just for you (and your travel companions, if you have any).
Surprisingly, even though these fares are not much more than for a Seville taxi for some rides, and only moderately more for others, a private transfer is 1000% more comfortable, reliable, safe and pleasant than a Seville taxi. As such, a private transfer constitutes extremely good value for money.

Getting to Seville Airport by Cabify, Uber or Bolt
Among the different ride-hailing services available in Spanish cities, Cabify, Uber, and Bolt operate in Seville and you can use them to reach the airport.
Provided you have a travel sim card, you can request a ride to the airport from the app of either Cabify, Uber or Bolt driver. From your pickup point, the driver will take you to the departures entrance at the terminal.
The cost of your trip to Seville Airport depends on factors that include the type of ride you request, the estimated length and duration of the trip, and current demand for rides. When you request a ride, you’ll see your actual price in the app based on real-time factors.
Although it’s a very comfortable option, there are 2 things that you should consider:
- Free cars’ availability depend on current demand for rides. If the demand is high, you’ll risk waiting forever to find a cars or worse, not finding one at all (stressful considering you’re about to catch a flight!).
- The price can be very competitive or a complete rip off. So you should have a plan B in case the cost is not worth it.
