Overview

Landing at Sabiha Airport already puts you on the Asian side of Istanbul, so the run to Umraniye is one of the shorter transfers we offer, around 25.9 km and usually 25 to 35 minutes door to door. Inside the arrivals hall, a Haqqi Tours driver is holding your name board, having watched your flight since it left the ground, and leads you to whichever of the V-Class or Sprinter fits your travelling party. Because both airport and district sit on the same side of the Bosphorus, there is no bridge crossing to slow you down, which suits business travellers heading to meetings near the Istanbul Financial Center as much as families going to a hotel near Buyaka. Your fare is agreed and set down in writing before departure, with no bargaining at the terminal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly inside Sabiha Airport does the driver wait?
Sabiha's arrivals area is compact, so once you clear customs, your Haqqi Tours driver is simple to find, holding a card printed with your name near the exit. He has your flight number already, so early or late landings are no issue.
Is a very late or overnight flight into Sabiha still covered?
Yes, pickups run at every hour, and a night or dawn arrival is treated the same as a midday one. Your driver watches the flight status and adjusts his arrival at the terminal, so you are never left waiting.
How much space is there for suitcases on this short run?
For this short Asian-side hop, the V-Class suits most travelling parties with their cases, while larger families or anyone with extra bags for Umraniye are better matched with the roomier Sprinter. Sharing your total passengers and luggage when you book lets us match the vehicle accordingly.
Can a child seat be arranged for the Umraniye transfer?
Yes, our desk only needs each child's age when you confirm the Umraniye booking, and the matching seat is already installed in the car waiting at Sabiha before your flight lands.
Roughly how long is the drive from Sabiha to Umraniye?
Since Sabiha Airport and Umraniye are both on the Asian side, the ride typically runs 25 to 35 minutes for about 25.9 km, one of our shorter Istanbul routes, barring heavier traffic at peak times.
What is the payment process for this Sabiha transfer?
Because Umraniye sits only a short ride from Sabiha Airport, the fare for this Asian-side crossing is written out on WhatsApp as soon as your booking is confirmed, leaving no sum to work out after you land. Settlement is normally in cash or by card with the driver, matching what was agreed beforehand.
What if our flight to Sabiha Airport is delayed on the day?
Flight tracking means a delay simply changes when your driver arrives at the terminal, not whether he is there. There is no additional cost for a late landing, and the same fixed fare still applies.
Will the driver make any stops before reaching Umraniye?
The route runs directly from Sabiha Airport to your Umraniye address without planned stops, keeping the short journey as efficient as possible. If you mention a stop while booking, the driver can usually build a short pause into this route in advance.
Is this vehicle shared with any other passengers?
No, the car is reserved solely for your party, whether that means a V-Class minivan or a Sprinter. Nobody else is added to the booking, and you will not wait for other passengers to board.
Why do many visitors choose Umraniye when flying into Sabiha?
Its position on the Asian side keeps the transfer short, and the district offers modern malls, green parks and easy metro access on the M5 line, which suits both business stays and family visits alike.
