Istanbul Airport (IST) to Emaar Square AVM transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 55 km, 56 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the European side and planning an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Emaar Square AVM transfer means crossing over to Üsküdar on the Asian side of the city. The journey covers 55 km, taking the D-020 away from the runway towards the Bosphorus crossing. We meet you at the arrivals exit with your name on a board, take care of your luggage, and lead you directly to the car.
Under normal road conditions, the direct drive takes 56 minutes, though peak evening congestion can extend the trip to 74 minutes. We monitor your flight schedule continuously so your driver is in position whenever your plane touches down on the tarmac. You travel straight to the entrance in one go, without the need to arrange intermediate stops or navigate connections.
Reaching the mall by public transit involves boarding the M11 subway to Gayrettepe, transferring to the 251 bus, and catching the 129T bus to Mobilyacılar Sitesi. Navigating those two vehicle changes with heavy suitcases takes considerable effort and leaves you with an additional walk at the end. We remove that complexity by providing a continuous ride from the terminal curb to the Asian side.
Our fixed rate begins at €50 for the private vehicle, letting your group divide the cost equally rather than paying separate fares per passenger. That base booking includes your waiting time at the airport and full assistance with your bags from start to finish. You arrive ready for the shops and dining venues, which remain open until ten in the evening.
