Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get from Istanbul Airport (IST) to Sabiha Gökçen (SAW)?▾
HAVAİST HVL-11 connects IST directly to SAW for 515 TRY, with a listed journey time of 120 minutes.
How much time should I allow between flights at IST and SAW?▾
Allow at least 3–4 hours for an IST–SAW transfer. The shuttle takes 90–120 minutes and you need check-in time at SAW. If traffic is heavy, 4–5 hours is safer.
Is there a cheaper way to travel between Istanbul's two airports?▾
