Airport Meet & Greet Service 2026 — Istanbul Welcome Guide

What Is Meet & Greet?

Meet & Greet is a professional airport welcome service where a driver greets you with a name board the moment you exit arrivals, helps carry your luggage, and escorts you directly to your vehicle. This service is especially valuable at large, complex terminals like Istanbul Airport (IST), where navigating corridors and finding transportation can be overwhelming. It is ideal for first-time visitors to Istanbul, business travelers, and elderly or mobility-impaired passengers.

Kings World Transfer's meet & greet service consists of four core components: flight tracking, name board welcome, luggage carrying support, and comfortable vehicle transfer. The goal is to eliminate airport chaos and give your trip a seamless, stress-free beginning.

Service Steps — How the Greeting Works

Our airport meet & greet service operates through a 5-step process that begins the moment you complete your reservation. Every step is carefully planned to ensure your journey is smooth and comfortable.

• 1. Flight tracked via monitoring system: Your flight details are entered into our system and your aircraft's real-time status is automatically monitored. Delays, early arrivals or terminal changes are instantly communicated to your driver.
• 2. Name board waiting at the greeting point: Your driver positions at the arrivals exit with your name displayed on a board as soon as your plane touches down. At Istanbul Airport this is the general exit area; at Sabiha Gokcen it is the domestic or international arrivals floor.
• 3. Luggage carrying assistance: After you collect your bags, your driver helps carry your suitcases. Additional equipment support is available for excess luggage.
• 4. Escort to vehicle: You are accompanied from the terminal exit to the car park area. No risk of getting lost in complex airport corridors.
• 5. Comfortable transfer: You travel to your destination in an air-conditioned, clean and well-maintained vehicle with complimentary water and phone charging available.

IST vs SAW Greeting Points

Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gokcen Airport (SAW) have different terminal layouts, which means greeting points also differ. The table below compares the key details at each airport to help you know exactly what to expect.

How the Flight Tracking System Works

Kings World Transfer's automatic flight tracking system is one of the most important assurances of your journey. The flight number you provide during reservation is matched with airline databases, and your aircraft's status is monitored in real time throughout its route.

If your flight is delayed, your driver is automatically notified and the greeting time is updated accordingly. In the case of an early arrival, the driver repositions as quickly as possible. Throughout this entire process, no extra charge is applied to you. Even in rare situations such as terminal changes, the system updates instantly and redirects your driver to the correct gate.

Premium vs Standard Greeting

Kings World Transfer offers two greeting packages to suit different needs and budgets. The Standard package provides a reliable and comfortable welcome experience, while the Premium package includes extra privileges and VIP touches required by business travelers.
