SAW · İstanbul
Sabiha Gökçen to Sultanahmet transfers
Landing on the Asian side and staying in the Old City? Start with SAW, then plan the cross-city journey and the final hotel approach together.
The search fills in your airport. Choose the exact hotel, date and time to complete your own journey.
A different journey from IST to Sultanahmet
SAW is Sabiha Gökçen in Pendik/Kurtköy; Sultanahmet is in the historic centre on the European side. Selecting IST just because the hotel is on the European side gives the wrong pickup. Check both the airport code and the full hotel address.
Public transport involves the city crossing too
SAW’s M4 connection provides a change to Marmaray at Ayrılık Çeşmesi. Reaching the historic centre still leaves the hotel-specific last connection or walk. Sultanahmet hotels are not all the same distance from the same station; check current official line information.
Clarify access in the historic centre
Hotel entrances around Sirkeci, Cankurtaran and Sultanahmet can be on different streets. With large bags, children or mobility needs, clarify the confirmed drop-off with the service team. Do not apply one airport-to-district time to every address: the hotel and road conditions matter.
Vehicles, luggage and child seats
Two people do not always need the smallest car. A couple with cabin bags and a family with a pushchair, child seats and large suitcases have different space requirements. Enter the real passenger and luggage numbers, then compare suitable vehicles offered for that journey.
- Count babies and children among the passengers.
- Select child seats separately in the extras; adding a child to the passenger count does not add a seat.
- Include pushchairs, bicycles and large equipment when considering luggage and extras.
Compare the total before payment
A per-person shuttle ticket and a private-vehicle total are prices for different services. Keep the airport, hotel, date, pickup time, category and extras the same for a useful comparison.

Check the selected vehicle card for the meeting arrangements and included waiting. A generic gate code or unlimited waiting does not apply to every reservation.
Istanbul transfer planning guide →Questions about this journey
I land at SAW but my hotel is on the European side. Should I choose IST?
No. Choose the airport where the flight actually lands—SAW—then enter the hotel address.
Can I arrive at SAW and depart from IST?
Plan the two journeys separately with their real airports. Do not use a same-airport return selection as a substitute for a different airport.
Can two passengers book a van?
Yes, if a suitable van is offered for the journey. Luggage and a preference for space can make a larger vehicle useful for a small group.
Are child seats added when I enter children?
No. Include children in the passenger total and select the required child seats separately in the extras.
