Taxis to and from airports can quickly add up, especially when on an extended backpacking trip. Public transit to/from airports can sometimes be 90%+ cheaper than taking an airport taxi. For example, a taxi to London Heathrow airport will cost around $100, while the London Underground will only cost around $9. Depending on traffic, public transit can also save significant amounts of time.
