Travelling through Istanbul sometimes means arriving at one airport and departing from another.
That was exactly the situation for Elizaveta T., a traveller from Moscow who needed help moving her suitcases between Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW).
Her luggage contained personal clothing and shoes. The challenge was not simply transporting the bags across Istanbul. Her arrival at Istanbul Airport was late in the evening, while her next departure from Sabiha Gokcen Airport was not until the following evening.
Instead of carrying the suitcases around Istanbul, she contacted Ana Kurye.
Istanbul Airport โ Kadikoy โ Sabiha Gokcen Airport. One traveller, two airports and an overnight luggage plan.
A Two-Airport Luggage Transfer in Istanbul
The plan was arranged through WhatsApp before the pickup.
Ana Kurye would meet Elizaveta at Istanbul Airport after her arriving flight, collect the suitcases and transport them to our Kadikoy office.
The bags would remain with us overnight. The following day, Ana Kurye would take them across Istanbul to Sabiha Gokcen Airport and meet Elizaveta before her evening departure.
This created a three-stage route: Istanbul Airport โ Ana Kurye Kadikoy โ Sabiha Gokcen Airport.
Adjusting the Pickup After a Flight Delay
On the day of arrival, Elizaveta informed us that her flight was delayed.
Airport courier work often requires flexibility because arrival times can change. Instead of relying only on the original schedule, the airport meeting time was adjusted according to the updated arrival.
Communication continued through WhatsApp so that both the customer and courier could coordinate the meeting point at Istanbul Airport. The suitcases were then collected and transported to Kadikoy.
This is one reason travellers use Airport Courier Istanbul support when timing, airport access and local coordination need to be handled in real time.
Overnight Luggage Storage Before the Next Airport
After collection, the suitcases were kept overnight before the second part of the journey.
For travellers using two different Istanbul airports, this can be useful when there is a long gap between flights and carrying several bags around the city is inconvenient.
The next day, the delivery route was organised from Kadikoy to Sabiha Gokcen Airport. Because Istanbul traffic can change significantly during the day, timing was planned with the airport departure in mind.
Ana Kurye also provides Airport Luggage Delivery Istanbul assistance for airport-to-hotel, hotel-to-airport and airport-to-airport luggage routes when handover details are clear.
Delivered at Sabiha Gokcen Airport at 17:00
The agreed handover time was 17:00 at Sabiha Gokcen Airport.
Elizaveta's flight was scheduled for later that evening, giving her time to receive the luggage before check-in and departure.
The meeting point was coordinated by phone and WhatsApp, and the suitcases were successfully handed back to the customer at the airport.
Another Istanbul airport-to-airport luggage transfer was complete.
