About this transfer

Landing on the European side of the city and collecting your luggage brings you to the start of your journey into Fatih. Arranging our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Edition Old City Hotel transfer ensures that our driver meets you directly at the arrivals exit with a personal name board. We assist with all your bags and guide you straight to your waiting vehicle outside the terminal.

The road journey follows Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu across 53 kilometres of motorway directly toward the district. Traffic moves freely during early morning hours, but daytime congestion around eight can increase the overall driving time to 71 minutes. We track your flight in real time, so your driver remains ready at the pickup area even if your arrival time shifts.

Reaching the destination by public transport involves boarding the M11 subway to Gayrettepe and then changing onto the M2 towards Vezneciler - İstanbul Üniversitesi. The HVL - 1 airport bus stops at Aksaray Metro, leaving an additional walk with heavy suitcases through city streets. Both public transit options require changing lines or walking across local pavements rather than delivering you directly to the entrance.

We provide a private vehicle for a fixed rate of €48, which covers your entire party rather than charging individual ticket fares. That price includes meet and greet service, flight monitoring, luggage assistance, and free waiting time after your flight lands. You bypass ticket machines and public stops, heading directly to your destination with a door to door drive.
