Transfer notes

Your driver will wait in the official arrivals hall outside the checkpoint area; look for a sign with your name. For private car transfers, the driver will assist with luggage from the trunk. If arriving late at night, please confirm your flight status at least 24 hours prior to ensure accurate ETA for the handover. Note that the hotel entrance is accessible by private vehicles, but you will need to proceed to the main lobby reception for check-in. Child seats are available upon request but must be reserved in advance. There are no direct bus connections from AYT to the hotel door, making a private transfer the most efficient option. For groups of more than 4, an MPV is recommended. Please keep your phone charger handy, as the connection may drop in certain tunnel sections near the coast during peak traffic.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the transfer cost?
The price is fixed per vehicle, not per person. It includes the entire journey from AYT to Papillon Side. You can see the exact price during booking. There are no hidden fees for mileage, tolls, or airport pickup. Payment can be split 50% online and 50% in cash to the driver, or paid fully online in advance. The rate remains valid even if traffic conditions change during the day, so you do not pay extra for delays caused by road circumstances.
How long does the drive take?
The standard drive time from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Papillon Side is approximately 40 to 50 minutes, covering a road distance of about 58-60 km. This estimate is based on normal traffic conditions on the D400 coastal public road. During peak summer seasons or evening rush hours, congestion near Side and Alanya borders may add 10-15 minutes to the total journey. We track your flight live to adjust the pickup time, ensuring the driver waits in the airport until you clear immigration.
Where exactly will my driver meet me?
Your driver will wait in the official arrivals hall of Antalya Airport, just after the baggage claim area or near the main exit doors, depending on your incoming flight. You will see a placard with your full name. If you cannot locate the driver, simply call the number provided in your confirmation email. The driver is an English-speaking professional who will assist you with your luggage and guide you to the vehicle parked in the licensed taxi/transfer zone.
What if my flight is delayed?
We monitor your flight status in real-time. If your flight is delayed, the driver adjusts the pickup time automatically and waits for you without extra charge. This service includes 60 minutes of free waiting time after the plane lands. If the delay exceeds two hours, we will contact you to confirm the new arrival time, ensuring a smooth meeting regardless of air traffic control issues or mechanical delays at the airport terminal.
Can I request a child seat?
Yes, we provide child seats for infants and toddlers upon request during the booking process. Please specify the age and weight of the child so we can install the correct seat type (infant carrier or booster). Child seats are included in the fixed price for most categories, but confirm specifics in your booking notes to ensure availability for that specific date, as popular summer weekends may have limited stock.
What happens if I arrive at night?
Night transfers are handled with the same level of care as daytime arrivals. The driver will stay in contact via phone if the destination is hard to find. If your flight lands after 22:00, expect standard street lighting on the coastal road. The driver will wait patiently for you to collect baggage. There are no extra charges for early morning or late-night arrivals, making it ideal for direct tour arrivals or early check-in requests.
Is there a minimum group size required?
There is no minimum group size; we operate private transfers for one passenger or up to six, depending on the vehicle. For larger groups of seven or more, we recommend booking a minibus. The price is per vehicle, so splitting the cost among family or friends makes the per-person price very competitive compared to individual taxis or option.
How can I pay for the service?
You can use a flexible payment method: pay 50% online securely at the time of booking, and the remaining 50% in cash to the driver upon arrival. Cash is accepted in Turkish Lira or major Western currencies at the current airport exchange rate. Alternatively, you may choose to pay 100% online for a completely cash-free experience. The driver will provide a receipt for the final payment.
Is the return transfer included?
The return transfer from Papillon Side to Antalya Airport is a separate booking. It is not automatically included in your one-way reservation. However, you can easily book the return leg when planning your departure. We recommend pre-booking the return to guarantee vehicle availability, especially during high season evenings when demand for transfers from Side to AYT is highest.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before the scheduled pickup time. If you cancel within 48 hours, a 50% fee of the total transfer price applies. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the trip are non-refundable. We understand travel plans change, so a 50% refund is granted for significant flight cancellations, provided you contact support with documentation.

All transfers are driven by professionally licensed, background-checked chauffeurs. Most drivers speak conversational English, allowing for basic communication about luggage or local recommendations.
