    Don’t bother

    I booked a taxi from Sabiha Gökçen to hotel in Istanbul. I requested a time for pick up rather than a flight landing time as we had wheelchair assistance to get through the airport and were aware it would take longer to exit the airport. When we got to the meeting point the taxi had left as they had based the time on the flight arrival time. We were classed as a no show. When contacted we were told no refund and no replacement taxi. Why is a time option given if it is ignored?

    Late comers

    Driver came late also meeting information was also not update Also Airconditioner of the vehicle was functioning very poor. Needs improvement

    Response from the operator: Hello, Unfortunately dishonest claim. Most probably you just left this review since we did not accept your discount request. However we do not change our principles for anyone. Have a good day.

    Never again

    I had to wait around 30 minutes in the cold to get picked up after arriving at the meeting point. It felt as though my transfer was sold to another private company and the driver was not waiting for me at the airport. Instead I had to go quite a bit outside the airport and meet staff members who told me to wait until a driver was assigned. The driver who eventually took me turned up in a really awful looking car that smelled bad and was very old, dirty and cramped even for one person. It was an uncomfortable journey and I wouldn't book again with these guys.

    Response from the operator: Dear Guest, thank you for your feedback. Regarding the waiting time at the airport, this is due to airport regulations that do not allow the vehicles to stand at the arrivals. Our drivers stands outside the terminal and they move once you meet our company representative. The process might always take around 10-15 mins. We actually have no vehicle older than 5 years old all over Turkey as per private transportation law. However thank you very much for your feedback that helps to improve our services. Hope to see in another service and will be ready to do our best for you.

    Terrible experience

    On Sunday night, I was flying from New York City to London to get a connecting flight to Istanbul. When I arrived in London Monday morning, I was told my flight to Istanbul was canceled and I was rebooked on another flight which was four hours later. I contacted Istanbul travel company, and Viator and was told that because it was less than 24 hours. They could do nothing about it. That is terrible service. We know flights change all the time and you have to be able to let them know when I called. They had almost 7 hours to be able to change it and they could’ve easily changed to my new arrival time. I want my money back. If not, I will never use you to book Travel from an airport. And I will tell everyone else not to use you. Other than this experience, I have always liked viator

    Response from the operator: Good Day, Please note that your booking is by viator, and our company can not change anything as we reserve our vehicles 24 hours in advance. So that you should make the review to the viator, unfortunately dishonest review to our company. Thank you, TTF Team

    AVOID! Absolutely crap!

    I'm writing a review for Sabiha Gokcen Airport, Istanbul. Try and avoid this airport if you can. They're probably the only airport that have no water refill stations at all. I went round and asked cafe staff if I was able to refill my bottle and they outrightly refused telling me that I need to buy a water bottle. 500ml water bottles are 40TL each, at the vending machines. Cafes charges are higher, at 2 Euros each. It's a complete ripoff. You're also expected to bin your water bottle if your entering the airport for a connecting flight so that you purchase water bottles. A complete scam. What's the point of asking us to bin our water bottles when we already went through security from the previous flight? It's basically to make money.

    Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW): questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW) cost?

    +

    Prices start at €79 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 Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW) take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour 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 Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW) worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 43 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 20 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 Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW)?

    +

    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 Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW) suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW)?

    +

    Around 7 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 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW) 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.

    What is included in Sabiha Gokcen Airport Transfer Service (SAW)?
