Your stay at Nova Plaza Prime will be in the Bağcılar, Istanbul area. Bağcılar is a densely populated inland district on Istanbul's European side. Address on record: Taşocağı Yolu Caddesi 35, Bağcılar, Istanbul, 34217.
Airport and meeting: Istanbul has two major airports: Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side and Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) on the Asian side. Traffic in Istanbul varies greatly during the day and between weekdays and weekends, so the journey time cannot be given as one figure and it is wise to leave a margin. Enter the flight number in full; if you are connecting, the number of the last flight into Türkiye is what is needed. Enter first name and surname exactly as in your passport; it avoids name mix-ups at the meeting.
At the property: From the western districts Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) lie in different directions, and SAW needs a Bosphorus crossing. Choosing the right airport in the booking decides the time plan. 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. Addresses are usually given by street name and building number; putting the street name and number in the booking saves the driver time.
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. If you have a very early flight, tell the hotel a day ahead; it helps if the property knows about early checkout and breakfast.
Things to check when booking: the property name and area (Bağcılar), flight number, number of passengers and bags, a reachable phone number and the arrival or departure date.
