About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side of the city and heading across to the European side brings you to the central district of Şişli. Arranging your private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Şişli transfer means our driver meets you personally in the arrivals hall holding a board with your name. We help you with your bags right at the exit and lead you straight to the vehicle.
The route covers 43 km, heading west along Anadolu Otoyolu to cross between the two continents. Without heavy road congestion, the trip takes 50 minutes from the terminal exit directly to your hotel address. Peak morning traffic can add time to the drive, but our driver navigates the entire highway route while you travel.
Navigating public transport requires boarding the M4 subway line for sixteen stops, transferring to the 251 bus at Kozyatağı Metro, and then boarding the 30A bus. That combination takes 99 minutes and involves walking between stations with all of your heavy luggage. Our private service avoids every transfer entirely and delivers you directly to your specific destination.
We track your flight arrival in real time and provide free waiting time in the terminal whenever your schedule changes. The route is available from €41 for the private vehicle, divided evenly among all the passengers traveling in your personal group. We greet you at arrivals, load your luggage, and complete the full journey across the city for you.
