Istanbul Airport (IST) to Akasya Avm transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 56 km, 56 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing at the terminal and heading across the city brings you to Üsküdar on the Asian side. Arranging an Istanbul Airport (IST) to Akasya Avm transfer means having our driver meet you directly at the arrivals exit with your name on a board. The drive covers 56 kilometres, taking you out along the D-020 and crossing between continents without any need to carry luggage between lines or switch vehicles along the way.
Under typical traffic conditions, the direct road journey takes around 56 minutes. We track your flight schedule automatically before you land, ensuring our driver is waiting in the arrivals hall even if your flight arrives behind schedule. Once we help load your bags, we set off without delays and take your travel party directly to the destination.
By contrast, public transit requires boarding the M11 subway to Gayrettepe and changing onto the 34AS bus toward Uzunçayır. That multi-step journey takes about 89 minutes and leaves you with an onward walk from the station to reach the mall. The HVL - 6 airport shuttle drops passengers at Acıbadem Metro, which still leaves a separate walk with your suitcases.
Traveling with us means you bypass station platforms and avoid hauling heavy bags across unfamiliar transit stops. The vehicle is booked exclusively for your private party, offering ample room for everyone and up to five pieces of luggage. We manage the entire route from start to finish, driving you from the terminal exit straight to the door.
