About Sultanahmet to Istanbul Airport Transfer

Istanbul Airport (IST) is about 40 km from the old city. Outside rush hour the drive takes around 45–60 minutes, but on weekday mornings and evenings it can take considerably longer, so we plan pickup times with a buffer.

Your driver collects you from your hotel, including small hotels on the narrow, partly pedestrianised lanes around Sultanahmet and Cankurtaran, where the driver meets you at the nearest point cars can reach, at the agreed time, loads your luggage and takes you straight to the departures level at Istanbul Airport, at a fixed price per vehicle agreed when you book.

When should you be picked up?

Istanbul Airport is very large, with long walking distances and passport control on the way out, and many airlines recommend arriving around 3 hours before an international flight. From Sultanahmet that usually means a pickup about 4–4½ hours before your flight. Share your flight time when you book and we'll suggest when to leave.

Private transfer or public transport?

Havaist airport coaches also serve the old city, and the rail route involves the tram plus several metro changes. Both are cheap, but with suitcases, children or an early flight, a car to the departures door is simpler.
