About this transfer
Landing on the European side of the city and arranging your Istanbul Airport (IST) to Bahçeşehir transfer puts you on the road toward the western districts. We meet you outside arrivals with a name board in hand, assist with your luggage, and drive you along the Kuzey Marmara Otoyolu. The trip covers 36 kilometres, leading directly to your doorstep.
The journey takes around 43 minutes when traffic runs normally. The route stays relatively consistent throughout the day, though evening rush hours around 18:00 can extend the travel time slightly to 51 minutes. Our service tracks your inbound flight and provides waiting time at the terminal if your flight happens to land behind schedule.
Public transport between the airport and this residential area requires changing between different networks. The route starts on the M11 subway toward Olimpiyatköy, continues on the MK15 bus to Atatürk Bulvarı, and finishes on the 142A bus to Evren Sanayi Sitesi. That connection involves two transfers and substantial walking between stops with your luggage.
Our private service drives straight from the terminal directly to your destination without intermediate stops. Public transit charges a separate ticket for every passenger on each line, while our transfer provides a private vehicle for your entire travelling party at a fixed rate of €41.
