About this transfer
Heading to the Asian side of the city after landing on the European side means crossing a fair distance. Our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Ramada Encore by Wyndham Istanbul Kartal transfer covers 76 km, taking you down the D-020 straight toward Kartal. We meet you at the terminal with a name board and handle your luggage so you can get moving without delay.
The journey takes around 69 minutes in regular conditions, though city traffic shifts through the day. We track your flight as you fly in and include waiting time at the gate if your arrival changes. From the terminal exit, our driver takes you directly to the hotel door without intermediate stops.
Public transit takes a different approach across the city. Traveling by rail and bus involves boardings on the M11, 251, and 132C lines, requiring two separate connections along the way. That route takes over 126 minutes to complete and leaves you with some walking before you reach the entrance.
A private vehicle gives your entire group one dedicated ride. Instead of individual fares for every traveler, our fixed rate of €66 covers the whole vehicle. It keeps everyone together from the moment you leave the arrivals hall until you pull up outside Ramada Encore by Wyndham Istanbul Kartal.
