Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to The St. Regis Istanbul transfer
Private door-to-door transfer · about 42 km, 51 min · one fixed price.
About this transfer
Landing on the Asian side and heading across the city to Şişli means crossing continents. Booking a private Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to The St. Regis Istanbul transfer gives you a direct ride from the terminal exit straight to the European side. We meet you outside arrivals with a name board, assist with your luggage, and drive you directly to the hotel entrance.
The route follows the Anadolu Otoyolu over a distance of 42 km. Driving without delays takes about 51 minutes, though morning rush hours around 08:00 can extend that journey. We monitor your flight schedule continuously and provide complimentary waiting time in case of delays.
Reaching the property on public transport involves taking the M4 metro line before transferring onto the 251 and 30A buses. The entire transit route requires two changes along the way and finishes with a walk from Maçka Democracy Park. The SG-2 airport shuttle is another scheduled service, dropping passengers at Abdülhak Hamit Caddesi where you still need a taxi or a walk to complete the trip.
With our private transfer, you secure the entire vehicle for a flat rate of €41, eliminating intermediate connections. You step into our car at the airport curb and arrive directly at the hotel door without hauling luggage between platforms or tracking local timetables.
