Where does the driver meet us inside Sabiha Gökçen?
The driver waits in the compact arrivals hall holding a printed name board, close to the exit, so the walk from your gate to the car is short as well.

Yes, flight tracking covers arrivals at any hour, and given the short 10-15 minute drive, a late landing still gets you to Sultanbeyli quickly afterwards.

Yes, child seats are fitted on request regardless of journey length, so families with young children are covered the same as on any longer route.
Do you charge a minimum fare for short routes like this one?
