Istanbul Airport Meet and Greet 2026 — How It Works

What Is Istanbul Airport Meet and Greet?

Istanbul airport meet and greet means a driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name sign, helps with your luggage to the vehicle, and then transfers you to your hotel or address. You start your holiday or business trip without taxi queues or public transport and without language barriers.

How Does the Greeting Work?

When you book, you enter your flight number and arrival time. The driver tracks your flight; even if it is delayed, they wait according to the new arrival time. In the arrivals hall you will see a sign with your name (Turkish and English). The driver takes your luggage and escorts you to the vehicle.
