Transfer Tips for Early Morning Flights

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
🌙 Park Airport Transfer operates 24/7. We get you to the airport on time even at 02:00 AM.
