Sabiha Gökçen Airport transfers

Sabiha Gokcen is Istanbul’s airport on the Asian side, out at Pendik, and that single fact decides most transfers from here. Kadikoy, Uskudar, Atasehir, Maltepe and the rest of the Asian shore are a straightforward drive. Sultanahmet, Taksim, Beyoglu and Besiktas are on the European side, which means crossing the Bosphorus by one of the bridges or through the Eurasia Tunnel, and the time that takes depends on the hour far more than on the map.

The airport has one terminal, so there is no confusion about where to meet: your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name sign. The price is for the whole vehicle, is fixed when you book and already covers the crossing, so a slow evening over the bridge costs you nothing extra. The driver tracks your flight and adjusts to a late landing.
