About this transfer
Landing at the airport and making your way into Şişli brings you straight to the European side of the city. Arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Mercure Istanbul Bomonti transfer means you step into the terminal knowing someone is waiting for you in the arrivals hall. We hold a name board at the exit, assist with your luggage, and guide you directly out to our vehicle.
The drive leaves the terminal area and follows the D-020 highway for 47 kilometres toward central Istanbul. Under typical road conditions, making this journey takes about 45 minutes from the airport pickup zone to the hotel entrance. We monitor your flight schedule in real time, so our driver is ready at the curb whenever your plane lands.
If you decide to take public transport, reaching the hotel means boarding the M11 subway to Kağıthane and switching over to the 48N bus toward Osmanbey. Between waiting for connections and navigating the transit stops, that entire route takes 68 minutes. It also means carrying your luggage between platforms and finishing the trip with a walk from the stop.
Public transport requires separate fares for every leg of the journey, with each traveler paying individually along the way. A private transfer secures the entire vehicle for your traveling group at a fixed rate from €43, making it easy for up to four people to split the journey. We drive you straight to the entrance, eliminating the need to haul bags through transfers.
