About this transfer
Booking an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Glens Palas Istanbul transfer brings you straight to the European side of the city, in the district of Şişli. Once you collect your luggage, we meet you at the arrivals gate with a name board and guide you to the vehicle.
The drive follows the D-020 highway for about 50 km. We drive you directly to the hotel door, taking roughly 49 minutes on an average run. We monitor your flight schedule continuously, so your driver is in place when you land, with waiting time included if your flight is delayed.
Reaching the property by public transport involves taking the M11 subway to Gayrettepe, transferring to the 30A bus toward Nişantaşı, and walking the final stretch. The airport shuttle bus runs to Taksim, leaving you to arrange separate transport for the remaining distance to the hotel.
A private transfer provides a fixed vehicle price from €46, rather than individual fares for every passenger. Up to seven passengers travel together with their bags, heading straight to the destination without navigating connections or carrying luggage through transit stops.
