About this transfer
Arriving on the Asian side when your accommodation is located in the Bağcılar district means you have an intercontinental journey ahead of you. Arranging your Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Mövenpick Living Istanbul transfer in advance ensures a smooth trip directly across to the European side. We meet you inside the arrivals hall with a name board, assist with your luggage, and escort you straight to your car.
The drive follows the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu across 71 kilometres, a route that typically takes 59 minutes under normal traffic conditions. Choosing our private transfer delivers you directly to the front door without requiring any navigation through unfamiliar highway connections. We monitor your flight schedule continuously, making sure your driver is ready at the curb even if your arrival is delayed.
The public transit alternative involves boarding the M4 metro line at the airport station, transferring to the B1 Marmaray to cross beneath the strait, and changing to the M9 subway. That journey requires two rail transfers alongside several hundred metres of walking between platforms and stations. With all train connections included, the full transit trip takes approximately 116 minutes.
Public transport fares are charged per person across each individual line along the way. In comparison, our private vehicle starts at a fixed €72 for your entire party rather than charging each passenger separately. That provides a single continuous drive to the hotel, keeping your travel group and all your luggage together without mid-route interruptions.
