Which airport are you arriving at in Istanbul?

Istanbul has two main airports. It is essential to know which one your flight lands at to coordinate your pickup smoothly:

1. Transfer from the New Istanbul Airport (IST)

Located on the European side, the New Istanbul Airport (IST) is one of the most modern in the world. It is about 45-50 km from the historical center (Sultanahmet) and Taksim Square. With our private transfer service in Istanbul, we will wait for you at the arrivals terminal and take you directly to your hotel in approximately 60 minutes, depending on traffic.

2. Transfer from Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW)

Located on the Asian side, Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) usually handles low-cost airlines and regional connections. It is about 50 km from Sultanahmet. Due to the distance and the bridges crossing the Bosphorus, the journey can take between 60 and 90 minutes. Booking your private transfer from Sabiha Gökçen in advance is the smartest way to avoid long waits.

• VIP and Spacious Vehicles: Forget about cramped cars. We use modern minivans (like the Mercedes-Benz Vito) with air conditioning and ample space for your luggage.
• Customer Support via WhatsApp: We will be in contact with you before, during, and after your arrival for any questions or assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions about Istanbul Transfers (FAQ)
