Antalya Airport → TUI BLUE Maviss Transfer

TUI BLUE Maviss to Antalya Airport: return transfer & taxi

TUI had not published a check-out hour for Maviss when this was written, so ask reception for it on arrival rather than assuming the usual noon of the bigger Belek resorts. Then fix the pickup when you book, working back from the airline's check-in deadline: 40 minutes for the 43 km, the time the terminal wants, and a margin for coming up from the beach along the walkway to collect the cases. For families that last part tends to take longer than planned.

The drive out starts on the village streets, heads north through the greenhouses to the D400 and then runs west past the Belek junctions and Aksu to the airport exit, before the city begins. Boğazkent sits at the far end of the Belek coast from the airport, so on changeover mornings the coaches of every resort further west join the same carriageway ahead of you. Before dawn, by contrast, the highway is nearly empty and the 40 minutes leaves room to spare.

• Put both the hotel name and the street on the departure booking, 50. Sokak No 4, Boğazkent; at five in the morning the village streets all look alike.
• Children's seats used on the arrival are not carried over automatically to the return; ask for them again on the departure leg.
• For a flight late in the day, find out whether the room can be kept or the bags stored before you fix the hour, then book the car around that answer.
