When to be picked up in Side
The drive from Side to Antalya Airport covers about 65 km and usually takes around 75 minutes. For an international flight you should be at the terminal roughly 2 to 2.5 hours before departure, and it is wise to add a cushion for traffic, especially on summer weekends when the coastal road around Manavgat and Serik gets busy.
Example: for a 14:00 flight, a pickup in Side at around 09:45 gets you to the airport comfortably before check-in opens fully. For early-morning flights the roads are quieter, but we still recommend keeping the same buffer.
Pickup at your hotel, apartment or villa
Your driver waits at the hotel lobby or main entrance at the agreed time. Most Side hotels ask guests to check out by midday, so settle your room bill and hand back your key cards before the pickup time to avoid a rushed departure.

The drive to Antalya Airport
From Side the route heads west along the main D400 coastal highway, past Manavgat, Serik and the Belek turn-off, before reaching the airport on the eastern edge of Antalya. The trip is private: no shared shuttle and no detours to other hotels, so the time on the road is just the drive itself.
Antalya Airport has separate international and domestic terminals. Please tell us your airline and terminal when booking, and we will drop you directly at the departures entrance of the right building.
Booking and payment
You can book your Side to Antalya Airport transfer together with your arrival transfer, or separately at any point during your holiday via 24/7 WhatsApp. Just send your hotel name, pickup date, flight time and number of passengers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What time should I be picked up in Side for my flight?
Plan for about 1 hour 15 minutes of driving plus a traffic buffer, and aim to arrive 2 to 2.5 hours before an international departure. For a 14:00 flight, a pickup around 09:45 works well.
Is there an extra charge for night or early-morning flights?
No. There is no night surcharge, so a 03:00 pickup costs the same fixed price per vehicle as a daytime one.
What if I need to check out before the driver arrives?
Most hotels let you store luggage at reception after checkout. Your driver meets you at the lobby or main entrance at the agreed time.
Is there a luggage fee?
No. Luggage is included in the price. Just tell us how many suitcases and any bulky items so we send a vehicle with enough space.
How do I book the transfer back to the airport?
Book it together with your arrival transfer or later via WhatsApp, any time of day. Send your hotel, date, flight time and passenger count, and you pay in the vehicle.
