⚠️ Important Local Taxi & Arrival Tips

  • There is no direct airport bus to Sarıgerme; ignore touts selling 'direct transfers' at the exit and use the official rank or pre-booked services.
  • At the taxi rank, insist on confirming the fixed price or starting the meter before loading luggage; unofficial drivers may approach inside the terminal.
  • Pay the Muttaş bus by bank/credit card on board; the driver issues a receipt, and nobody should ask for extra luggage fees.
  • Pre-booked transfer drivers meet in the Arrivals hall, not outside the terminal; if someone claims to be your driver, ask for your name and booking reference.
