Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Fairmont Quasar İstanbul transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 40 km, 46 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading across to the European side brings you to Şişli. Booking our Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Fairmont Quasar İstanbul transfer means we meet you at the terminal exit with a name board, help with your luggage, and drive you along Anadolu Otoyolu straight to the hotel. The distance is 40 km, taking around 46 minutes in typical conditions.
Crossing the city by public transport involves taking the M4 subway to Kozyatağı and transferring to bus line 251 towards Ali Sami Yen. That journey requires walking over seven hundred metres with your luggage. The SG-2 airport shuttle drops passengers at Zincirlikuyu Metrobüs, leaving another kilometre to reach the hotel entrance.
Our private vehicle takes you directly to the front door, avoiding line changes and walks between platforms. We track your flight for delays and include waiting time at the airport terminal.
For groups travelling together, our fixed vehicle rate of €41 covers up to seven passengers. That splits the cost down to €10 per person for a group of four, delivering a direct transfer across the Bosphorus without extra steps.
