    Disgusting ist airport

    I have never been in a place disgusting as ist airport ( new airport) I’ve been in both places arrival and departure and I regret for being there everyday ; however, be aware of thieves everywhere in ist new airport especially if you deal with the turkish airline there. Because they are in turkey they act as they are racist, charlatan and rude. They gave me my boarding pass but they prevent me from getting in to my flight and instead of putting me in their next flight they made me to exit the departure gate . Even their own employees were surprised to see what they were doing only to make me purchase another ticket for flight from their new airport. I am really disappointed that they stole my money from my ticket and made me to buy another ticket. Here is my warning to the people around the world to not go to Istanbul because it’s full of thieves and to stay away from turkish airlines all over the world because they are racist, extremely rude who are not even human. They are creatures that are robbing you in a day light right in front of your eyes. Stay away from ist new airport in istunbul turkey.

    No show

    Our driver was a No Show @6:30AM for early flight. No one responded to our messages to find out the status. We had to call a taxi to get us to the airport in time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you experienced inconvenience with your airport transfer. We would like to clarify one important point for future guests: the pickup time on the reservation was **7:30 AM, not 6:30 AM**. Our service was scheduled according to the confirmed pickup time provided in the booking. We always take our guests’ flight schedules seriously and understand how important it is to arrive at the airport on time, especially for an early flight. We are sorry that this situation caused you stress and inconvenience. We take all feedback seriously and are continuously working to improve our communication and service. We appreciate your understanding.

    Message them on WhatsApp

    I had to message them on WhatsApp using the phone number on the description to set up both rides. However once I message, they answered right away and were on time. They even send me a video on how to find them in IIST. The vehicles are spacious and clean. Both drivers were professional. This was way more pricey than a regular taxi.

    Overpriced

    Private Istanbul Airport (IST) Arrival or Departure Transfer: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

    How much does Private Istanbul Airport (IST) Arrival or Departure Transfer cost?

    +

    Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Istanbul Airport (IST) Arrival or Departure Transfer take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.

    Is Private Istanbul Airport (IST) Arrival or Departure Transfer worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Istanbul Airport (IST) Arrival or Departure Transfer?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Istanbul Airport (IST) Arrival or Departure Transfer suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Istanbul Airport (IST) Arrival or Departure Transfer?

    +

    Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 0.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Istanbul Airport (IST) Arrival or Departure Transfer start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Istanbul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Famous Istanbul Pub Crawl #1 Nightlife Experience, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Istanbul?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Istanbul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
