Travelers often book flights to Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW), on the Asian side of Turkey, to save on airfares - only to find that a taxi from Sabiha Gokcen to central Istanbul can be expensive, especially in rush-hour traffic. Avoid running the meter up by pre-booking a private transfer from Sabiha Gokcen to the Sultanahmet area for a fixed price. Instead of a dusty local cab, travel in a premium European vehicle with WiFi, bottled water, and snacks on board
