Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Akmerkez transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 40 km, 46 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading toward Beşiktaş brings you over to the European side of the city. Booking a private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Akmerkez transfer means our driver meets you inside the arrivals hall with a name board and takes you directly to the entrance.
The drive follows the Anadolu Otoyolu across the city. The trip typically takes 46 minutes in regular conditions, though peak morning hours around 08:00 can extend that time. We track your flight details before you land so our driver is ready at the terminal whenever your plane touches down.
Public transit involves taking the M4 subway to Ünalan, switching to the 34G bus at Uzunçayır, and catching the 559C bus to reach the mall. Navigating multiple connections with heavy luggage adds extra walking between platforms. An airport shuttle stops at Levent instead, which leaves you about a kilometre away from your final stop.
Our private ride costs €41 for the entire vehicle, split among everyone travelling in your group. We handle the heavy lifting, load your suitcases into the vehicle, and provide a direct door-to-door journey straight to the mall doors.
