About this transfer

Landing on the Asian side puts you close to your destination, as Sancaktepe borders the airport district directly. Arranging our private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Sancaktepe transfer ensures that we meet you inside the terminal arrival hall holding a clear name board. We assist with your luggage from the moment you exit and guide you directly to the waiting vehicle.

The driving route heads northwest along the Anadolu Otoyolu for roughly 19 kilometres across the outer district borders. Under typical traffic conditions, the private drive takes around 24 minutes from the terminal exit. We track your incoming flight schedule in real time, meaning our driver remains ready in the arrivals area even if your plane lands ahead of schedule.

Navigating the same journey using public transport requires boarding the UM73 bus from Sabiha Gökçen Nizamiye and riding thirty-seven stops to Samandıra Metro. From there, you must complete an on-foot connection to Osmangazi Sapağı to catch the 11SA bus towards Haznedar Sokak for another nine stops. Choosing public transit involves managing two separate bus lines and carrying luggage along roadsides rather than getting direct drop-off service.

Public buses collect an individual fare for every passenger onboard, whereas our private transfer price covers the whole vehicle regardless of group size. That structure allows families and travel companions with multiple suitcases to share one dedicated vehicle comfortably. Our driver handles the route along the main corridors, taking you straight to the address without intermediate stops or street navigation on foot.
