About this transfer
Arriving on the European side of the city and heading toward Halkalı puts you southwest of the terminal. Arranging your Istanbul Airport (IST) to Halkalı transfer in advance means our driver greets you at the arrivals gate with a name board and assists with your luggage. The drive covers 44 km along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu.
Without heavy traffic, the journey takes 42 minutes from the terminal exit. Even during peak evening hours, the route remains relatively steady, extending the trip by only about 5 minutes. We track your flight in real time and include free waiting time if your landing is delayed.
Reaching the district by public transit involves boarding the M11 subway at the airport and changing to the 98AB bus. That combination requires navigating transfers and walking nearly a kilometre between connections with your bags.
With our private transfer, you secure the entire vehicle for a fixed price of €41, bringing the cost down to €10 per person for a group of four. We take you directly to your address without intermediate stops.
