About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading across the city to Küçükçekmece on the European side means crossing continents after your flight. Booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Elite World Grand İstanbul Basın Ekspres transfer means our driver meets you inside the terminal with a name board, helps carry your bags, and leads you straight to your private vehicle.
The hotel sits along the Basın Ekspres corridor, roughly 71 kilometres from the arrivals hall via the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu. We track your incoming flight for any delays, wait for you at no extra cost, and drive you directly to the hotel entrance without intermediate stops.
Public transit on this cross-city route requires multiple connections. You take the M4 subway to Ayrılık Çeşmesi, change onto the B1 Marmaray line across to Bakırköy, and then switch through two separate buses to reach Basın Ekspres Yolu. The rail and bus journey takes 135 minutes with three vehicle changes and walking along the way, charging a separate fare per passenger.
Our private transfer covers the entire trip in a single vehicle, typically taking 56 minutes outside peak hours. The booking price starts from €72 for the private vehicle, which works out to €18 per person when split among a group of four. You bypass public interchanges and head straight to check-in.
