Flight Delayed to Antalya? What Happens to Your Transfer

A delayed flight is one of the most common worries before a holiday, and with a private transfer it is also one of the easiest to handle. When you book, you give us your flight number. We use it to follow the flight, so the driver works with the time your plane actually lands, not the time printed on your ticket.

• The driver adjusts to the real landing time, whether the delay is thirty minutes or several hours.
• Waiting is free when the flight is delayed. There is no waiting fee and no late-arrival charge.
• The price does not change. It is a fixed price per vehicle, agreed before the trip, and it is not changed for traffic, night time or luggage.
• Meet and greet stays the same: the driver is in the arrivals hall with a name sign.

You do not need to call anyone from the departure gate to ask the driver to wait. That is what the flight number is for.

Airlines publish live arrival times for every flight number. Because your booking is linked to that number, the delay information reaches us without you doing anything. The driver plans the drive to the airport around the updated time, so a delay at your departure airport simply moves the pick-up later.

This also covers the time after landing. Passport control and baggage reclaim can take a while on busy days, especially in high season. The driver knows a plane on the ground does not mean you are already in the arrivals hall, so there is no need to rush or worry if your suitcase is among the last on the belt.

One thing flight tracking cannot do is guess a different flight. If you are moved to another flight, the old number no longer tells us where you are. That is the only situation where we really need a message from you.

1. Give the correct flight number when booking. Use the number on your boarding pass or booking confirmation, for example the airline code plus digits. Double-check the date, especially for flights that land after midnight.
2. Message us on WhatsApp if anything changes. New flight number, new date, new airport: send the details as soon as you know them.
3. Keep your phone on after landing. Switch off flight mode once you are allowed to, so the driver can reach you if needed.
4. Look for your name sign in the arrivals hall after customs.
5. If you cannot find the driver, message us on WhatsApp rather than leaving with someone else.

Arriving very late after a long delay? Our late-night arrival guide for Antalya Airport covers what to expect when you land after dark.

Bigger disruptions happen too: a cancelled flight, a rebooking onto a different airline, or a plane diverted to another airport. In each case the solution is the same: send us the new details and we arrange a new time.

• Rebooked onto another flight: send the new flight number and date. The driver will then follow that flight instead.
• Moved to the next day: tell us the new date and flight, and the transfer moves with you.
• Diverted to another airport: let us know where you landed and what the airline is planning. If the airline brings you on to Antalya, we simply follow the new arrival. If you need to travel from another airport, tell us and we will tell you what is possible.

If the trip is off completely, you can cancel free of charge. You have not paid anything in advance, because payment is made in the vehicle.

Delays work the other way as well. If your return flight is delayed, you probably do not want to sit at the airport for hours. Tell us the new departure time on WhatsApp and we will move your hotel pick-up so you leave at a sensible time for the new schedule.

A few practical tips:

• Check your airline's app or messages on the morning of departure.
• Ask reception about late check-out or a place to wait if the delay is long.
• Send us the change as early as you can, so the new pick-up time can be planned calmly.
