Airport and meeting: Guests flying to Istanbul may land at Istanbul Airport (IST) or at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Enter the flight number in full; if you are connecting, the number of the last flight into Türkiye is what is needed. Before booking, check the airport code on your ticket (IST or SAW); the two airports are on opposite sides of the city, so choosing wrongly costs a lot of time. If your flight is a connection, enter the number of the last flight into Türkiye.
At the property: Addresses are usually given by street name and building number; putting the street name and number in the booking saves the driver time. Hotel names can look alike because of different branches of the same chain; confirm with the district name when you book. In this part of Istanbul's European side hotels are usually close to main arteries such as the E-5 (D100), the TEM and the coastal road; knowing which street your hotel faces helps the driver find the right entrance.
Return transfer: On the return from the western districts, traffic on the E-5 and TEM varies a lot during the day; plan the pick-up with a wide margin counted back from departure and agree beforehand where the car will wait on busy streets. For the return, check on your ticket which airport you fly from (IST or SAW) and plan the pick-up counted back from departure with a wide margin. On the morning of the pick-up, settle checkout beforehand, keep your luggage ready and make sure the phone number on your booking is switched on.
Before completing the booking, look at: airport code, property name and Bağcılar, flight number, number of people and bags, contact number. The property's full address is not in our records; writing the address the hotel gave you, or its Google Maps location, in the booking notes makes the driver's job easier.
