Airport and meeting: Guests flying to Istanbul may land at Istanbul Airport (IST) or at Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). 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. 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 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. Hotel names can look alike because of different branches of the same chain; confirm with the district name when you book.
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.
In short: the right airport, the right property name and area, the right flight number, a reachable phone. If these four are correct, the rest of the transfer usually goes smoothly.
