The hotel sits in Bağcılar, about 69 kilometres from the arrivals hall. We meet you outside terminal exit with a name board, assist with your bags, and take you directly to the hotel entrance.
Driving across via the O-2 typically takes 56 minutes, depending on the hour of travel. During the peak evening commute, that same journey can stretch to 86 minutes. We track your flight in real time and include free waiting time, so your pickup timing adjusts automatically if your landing is delayed.
