Driving times

At rush hour the D-100 and TEM connections can double these times. Before a flight, leave for the airport at least two and a half hours before departure.

Leaving the airport for a meal is possible on a long layover, but once passport control, security and traffic are added we don’t recommend it for layovers under 6 hours. Pendik is the closest branch.
