## Landing at SAW: finding your way in a single terminal

Sabiha Gokcen sits on the Asian side, near Pendik and Kurtköy. Thanks to its single-terminal layout, reaching the exit is usually quicker than at IST. However, passport and baggage times can stretch at busy hours.

On a planned Sabiha Gokcen transfer, your driver is ready at the exit based on your flight details. Next, they meet you with a name sign and walk you and your luggage to the car. We confirm the meeting point when you book.

## Staying on the Asian side, or crossing to the European side?

This is the first question that shapes your plan. Asian-side addresses such as Kadıköy, Ataşehir, Bostancı and Pendik are close to SAW; on these routes the ride is usually short, with no bridge crossing needed.

On the other hand, European-side points like Taksim, Beşiktaş and Sultanahmet involve a bridge or tunnel. Traffic on these crossings is variable, so your driver picks the best route for the conditions at the time.

## Timing the ride: bridge traffic and peak hours

The cross-continent time changes noticeably with bridge and tunnel traffic. The crossings get especially busy on weekday mornings and evenings. For that reason an exact arrival time is not guaranteed; however, we plan the route around it.

Likewise, the same logic applies to the return leg. If you share your flight time, we set the departure together with the traffic in mind. As a result, you reach the airport without time pressure.

## Luggage planning and practical notes for the Asian side

Sharing your luggage count and type when you book helps us plan the right vehicle for your Sabiha Gokcen pickup. Your driver helps carry your suitcases to the car; large family groups or anyone travelling with extra items should share this information in advance.

Because Asian-side points such as Kadıköy, Bostancı and Pendik sit close to SAW, transfers to these areas are usually short and less affected by inner-city congestion. Even so, traffic conditions vary by day, so we do not commit to an exact duration; instead, we plan the route around current conditions.

Families with small children can request a baby seat (0–4) during reservation; availability is confirmed before booking. Sharing this alongside your passenger and luggage count helps us prepare the right vehicle in advance.

## Frequently asked questions

**How long is the ride from SAW to Kadıköy?**

Asian-side routes usually need no bridge crossing, so the ride is relatively short. Even so, traffic and the hour affect the time. Exact planning follows the time details you share when booking.

**Does the price change for a crossing to the European side?**

The price is set by the route and the destination address, and it is clear before you book. The choice of bridge or tunnel does not change the amount you approved; what the price covers is shared in advance.

**How is the pickup planned for night arrivals?**

Night and early-hour transfers can be planned. When you share your flight details, your driver is ready around your landing; timing and conditions are clarified before booking.

**I need to reach a city meeting right after my flight — how do we plan that?**

Once you share your meeting time and address, we work the pickup time backward from it. Because bridge and tunnel traffic is variable, we do not guarantee an exact arrival; instead, we build the most suitable route around current conditions.
