Flights after midnight or in the early morning hours present one of the most challenging airport transfer scenarios. Metro and bus services have stopped, and finding a taxi becomes quite difficult.
⚠️ Note: For flights departing before 06:00, book your transfer at least one day in advance.
Problems with Early Morning Transfers
- No public transport: Metro and metrobus generally operate from 06:00
- Taxi shortage: Finding a taxi late at night or early morning becomes difficult
- Traffic uncertainty: Road conditions are unpredictable, forcing you to leave very early
- Safety concerns: Travelling alone at night may pose security risks
Why is Private Transfer Better?
- Your flight is tracked 24/7 — driver is notified of any delays
- Exact pick-up time is confirmed, no last-minute rush
- Comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle during the night
- Luggage assistance included
When Should You Leave?
- Istanbul Airport (IGA): At least 60-75 minutes from the city centre
- Sabiha Gökçen (SAW): 30-45 min from Asian side, 60-90 min from European side
- Check-in time: Be at the terminal 2 hours before gate closes for international flights
