About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side and heading into Bayrampaşa requires crossing between continents to reach your destination on the European side. Arranging your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Forum İstanbul transfer before you fly allows you to leave the terminal and meet your ride without delay. The journey covers 66 kilometres across the city via the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu corridor.

Our driver greets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, helps carry your luggage, and drives you directly to the entrance. Under normal road conditions, the trip takes around 52 minutes, bringing you straight to the shopping centre doors. Our private service starts from €59, which represents a fixed price for the entire vehicle rather than a rate per passenger.

Public transport involves boarding the M4 metro line, switching to the Marmaray at Ayrılık Çeşmesi, and transferring again at Yenikapı for the M1B. That rail journey takes roughly 103 minutes and concludes with an outdoor walk from Kocatepe station to the complex. Managing two separate train transfers while carrying heavy bags adds unnecessary physical effort after a long journey.

We track your incoming flight continuously, ensuring our driver is waiting at the terminal exit whenever your plane touches down on the runway. Our bookings include free waiting time, so clearing border control and collecting your baggage never creates any rushing. You step into a private vehicle and travel directly across the city without any intermediate stops.
