Sabiha Gökçen Airport transfer
Sabiha Gökçen sits on the Asian side, and reaching the European side means crossing one of the Bosphorus bridges. That makes the same distance two very different journeys depending on the hour.
On this service the routing decision is not left to chance: whether to use a bridge or the Eurasia Tunnel is planned in advance from your landing time. Whichever route is taken, the price does not change.

In short
This service in numbers
The distance from Sabiha Gökçen Airport to Sultanahmet is 51 kilometres and the journey takes between 55 and 85 minutes.
Journeys from Sabiha Gökçen to Asian-side districts such as Kadıköy and Üsküdar are completed without crossing a bridge.
Public transport options from Sabiha Gökçen to the city centre are limited overnight, as metro and Marmaray services pause during the night.
Bridge or tunnel
There are three ways across to the European side: the 15 Temmuz Bridge, the Fatih Sultan Mehmet Bridge and the Eurasia Tunnel. At peak hours, bridge queues can add half an hour to the journey.
The driver takes the fastest option for your landing time and the traffic at that moment. Tunnel tolls are included, so that decision never affects what you pay.
Late-night arrivals
A large number of flights land at Sabiha Gökçen after midnight. At those hours public transport thins out and the transport situation outside the terminal is at its most problematic.
Night transfers are booked in advance and follow the same fixed-price rule. If a night tariff applies it is shown in the price calculator at the moment of booking, never as a surprise afterwards.
