İzmir Adnan Menderes Airport (ADB) → Alsancak & Konak transfer

The airport is close to the centre in a straight line, but the drive runs through the southern districts of Gaziemir and Karabağlar or along the ring roads, and İzmir traffic is heavy at weekday rush hours. Outside those hours the ride is often quicker than the upper end of the range.

The agreed price is fixed, so a slow evening in traffic costs you time but not money. Late-night arrivals usually move through the city fastest.

Many people travelling to central İzmir come for business meetings or for fairs at the city's exhibition venues. If you have a fixed meeting time on arrival day, book the transfer with your flight number and allow for the rush-hour end of the time range. A private car is usually enough for one or two business travellers with cabin bags.

For an international flight, book your pickup about three and a half hours before departure on weekdays, and three hours at night or at weekends. If your flight leaves between 7 and 10 in the morning or in the early evening, add a little more, as the roads south out of the centre fill up at commuting times.
