Antalya Airport → Delphin Deluxe Resort Okurcalar Transfer

Delphin Deluxe Resort Okurcalar to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

Plan the departure backwards from the flight. The road itself is fixed at 93 km and about 80 minutes; before it come checkout and getting the cases down to the gate, and after it the queues inside the terminal, which vary far more between August and January than the drive does. Only when all of that is added up does a pickup hour make sense, and it still needs a margin on top, because over this distance a late start cannot be made good on the road. Before dawn the highway is quiet; later in the morning the towns it runs through add their own traffic, starting with Manavgat.

Check which airport the ticket names before anything is booked. Gazipaşa-Alanya lies just under eighty kilometres east by road, and the way there runs through Alanya town, so it is nearer than Antalya but not by a wide margin. If the code is AYT, the car heads west along the D400 and ends at an airport with more than one terminal: give your airline and terminal when you book, and the driver will pull up at the right departures entrance.

• Go by the three-letter code on the ticket, not the word Alanya: AYT is Antalya, west of the hotel, and GZP is Gazipaşa-Alanya, to the east.
• For a pickup before breakfast, settle the bill and confirm the time with reception the evening before, so the morning starts at the gate rather than at the desk.
• When the sum gives an awkward pickup time, round it earlier, not later: with 93 km ahead, a quarter of an hour in hand is worth more than a quarter of an hour's extra sleep.
