Antalya Airport: Terminal Layout
Antalya Airport has two passenger terminals on the same site:
- Terminal 1 handles domestic Turkish Airlines flights and some charter operators. Arrivals exit directly to the ground level.
- Terminal 2 (International) handles all international flights including charter traffic from Russia, Germany, the UK, and the Netherlands. Arrivals exit after baggage reclaim and customs into a large arrivals hall.
Your transfer driver will always wait in the arrivals hall — domestic or international — with a sign showing your name. You do not need to find them; they find you.
Tip: The arrivals hall has Wi-Fi. If you cannot find your driver immediately, WhatsApp your booking reference — response time is under 2 minutes.

How the Pickup Works
Here is exactly what happens when you arrive:
- Before landing: The system tracks your flight number in real time. If your flight is delayed, your driver is automatically notified and adjusts arrival time.
- After landing: Follow signs to baggage reclaim. After customs, walk into the arrivals hall.
- In the arrivals hall: Your driver holds a sign with your name. This is always a named sign — not a generic "transfers" placard.
- The drive: Direct to your hotel or address. No detours, no other pickups (private transfer, not shared shuttle).
- Payment: Pay the driver in cash or card at the end of the journey. Accepted currencies: EUR, USD, GBP, TRY.
Important: Never pay anyone in the arrivals hall before reaching your driver. Touts may approach you claiming to be your driver.
Private Transfer vs. Metered Taxi vs. Shuttle
Three options exist at AYT arrivals. Here is an honest comparison:
| Private Transfer | Metered Taxi | Shared Shuttle | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price | Fixed, agreed before travel | Variable — meter + supplements | Cheapest per seat |
| Waiting | 0 min (driver waits for you) | Queue, 10–30 min | Up to 60 min for a full coach |
| Drops | Direct to your hotel | Direct | Multiple stops |
| Night surcharge | +30% (clearly stated) | +50% (often hidden) | Usually none |
| Language | Matches your booking language | Turkish only typical | English only |
| Risk of overcharging | None (fixed price) | High — see scams section | None |
For families, groups, or anyone with luggage, a private transfer is nearly always the most practical choice even if slightly more expensive per seat than a shared shuttle.
Night Transfers: What to Expect
A 30% night surcharge applies to all transfers departing between 22:00 and 06:00. This is standard across all operators and reflects driver availability and reduced public transport options.
Example: Belek night transfer = €80 × 1.30 = €104 sedan.
The surcharge is always shown transparently at booking — you will never be surprised at the end.
Drivers are available 24/7, 365 days per year, including Turkish public holidays.
Luggage Limits
Standard prices cover up to:
- Sedan: 3 passengers + 3 standard suitcases + 3 cabin bags
- Minivan: 6 passengers + 6 standard suitcases + 6 cabin bags
If you are travelling with surfboards, ski equipment, golf bags, or wheelchair equipment — add a note at booking. Accessible vehicles and extra luggage space are available at no surcharge for special equipment.
Flight Tracking and Free Waiting Time
Every booking includes real-time flight tracking. The system monitors your flight number through AviationStack data. If your flight is delayed — even significantly — your driver adjusts automatically.
The first 60 minutes after landing are always free. If customs or baggage takes longer than usual, your driver waits at no extra cost.
Beyond 60 minutes, an additional waiting fee of €10/30 min may apply — but this is rare and always confirmed by message before any charge.
