About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and planning a Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Büyükçekmece transfer means travelling all the way across the city to the European side. We meet you at the terminal exit with a name board, help with your bags, and take you out to the vehicle.
The drive follows the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu for about 96 km. A clear road at night takes 67 minutes, though the crossing can stretch past two hours during the evening rush. We track your flight beforehand, so our driver waits outside whenever your plane lands.
Getting to Büyükçekmece on public transit requires the M4 metro, the Marmaray rail line, and three separate buses. That journey takes 170 minutes with five changes of line along the way. Shifting heavy luggage between platforms and city bus stops adds considerable walking before you reach your final stop.
Booking our vehicle means door-to-door travel in one go without switching lines or carrying suitcases through stations. The fixed price of €92 covers the whole vehicle, so split among a family or four friends, the ride comes out to €23 per person. We handle the drive across the city while you settle in for the trip.
