About this transfer
If you have just landed on the European side, our Istanbul Airport (IST) to Tango Arjaan by Rotana transfer takes you all the way across to Maltepe on the Asian side. We meet you at arrivals with a name board, help with your luggage, and drive you straight to the hotel door. The ride follows the O-2 for 67 km, getting you settled without having to navigate cross-city traffic on your own.
Travelling between continents can take time depending on when you land. A clear run takes about 63 minutes, though peak evening hours around 18:00 can extend the journey to 106 minutes. We track your flight details before you land and include waiting time, so any runway delays are accounted for before we depart.
Public transit is another option, though it requires changing lines along the way. You board the M11 subway at the airport to Gayrettepe, connect to the 251 bus at Köprülü Kavşak, and get off at Nezahat Aslan Ekşioğlu İlkokulu. That journey involves nearly a kilometre of walking between stops and takes 104 minutes with your bags.
Choosing a private vehicle means door-to-door travel in one continuous ride. While public transport charges a separate fare for every passenger, our price covers the private vehicle for your entire group. Our driver handles the route directly to the hotel entrance, letting you rest after your flight.
