Istanbul Airport Transfers
Istanbul has two airports — Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side — and both are a long way from the centre, so it pays to arrange your transfer before you land. Choose a Havaist shuttle ticket between Istanbul Airport and central stations such as Taksim, Sultanahmet, Aksaray or Beşiktaş, or a private car with an English-speaking driver and airport or hotel pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which airport will I arrive at in Istanbul?
International flights use Istanbul Airport (IST), north of the city on the European side, or Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side. Check your ticket before booking a transfer — the two airports are on opposite sides of the Bosphorus.
How do I get from Istanbul Airport to Sultanahmet or Taksim?
The Havaist airport shuttle runs between Istanbul Airport and central stations including Taksim, Sultanahmet, Aksaray and Beşiktaş; from the station you continue on foot, by taxi or by public transport. A private car with driver takes you door to door.
Shuttle or private transfer — which is better?
A shared shuttle is the budget-friendly choice for solo travellers and couples with light luggage. A private car suits families, groups and late arrivals: your driver meets you, and the larger vehicle carries up to 17 passengers.
Should I book my airport transfer in advance?
Yes, especially for late-night arrivals, groups or lots of luggage. A pre-booked transfer gives you a confirmed meeting point, which is listed in your confirmation email.
Can I use the private car for more than an airport run?
Yes. The private car with driver is booked for up to 8 hours and 200 km, so you can combine an airport pickup with sightseeing across the city.
