About this transfer

Landing on the European side of the city and heading into Bayrampaşa brings you directly toward your destination after a long flight. Organizing an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Wish More Hotel Istanbul transfer means our driver waits for you at the arrivals gate holding a personalized name board. We monitor your flight for any schedule adjustments, assist with your luggage, and lead you straight to your private vehicle.

The journey covers 49 km via the major roadway and takes around 43 minutes under typical driving conditions. We drive you directly to the hotel doors, which spares you from navigating multiple road connections or finding local ground transport upon arrival. Even when traffic levels fluctuate throughout the day, our drivers follow the most efficient route straight to Bayrampaşa.

Traveling to the hotel by public transit involves several separate connections across the M11 and M7 subway lines followed by local bus routes. That complete journey requires 94 minutes along with walking between platforms and stops with your bags. While the airport shuttle drops passengers at Otogar, reaching the hotel from there still requires an additional walk or transfer.

We provide a private ride starting from €45 for the entire vehicle rather than charging individual ticket fees per traveler. A group of up to seven passengers and five suitcases travels together in the same vehicle, dividing that single cost among everyone. You step into our car at the terminal and arrive together at the hotel lobby without intermediate stops.
