Antalya Airport is one airport with three arrival and departure buildings, and almost every question we get before a transfer comes down to the same one: which terminal am I in? The answer changes where your driver parks, how long the walk to the vehicle is and, on departure day, how early you should leave the hotel.
The three terminals
| Terminal | Mostly used by | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 | International scheduled flights | The older international building, west of the domestic terminal |
| Terminal 2 | Charter and seasonal holiday flights | The busiest building in summer, especially on weekend rotations |
| Domestic terminal | Flights from Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir | Sits between the two international terminals |
All three sit along the same airport access road within a few hundred metres of each other, so a terminal mix-up is an inconvenience rather than a lost day. Terminal allocation is decided by the airline and can change between seasons, which is why we never guess it from the destination.
How to tell which terminal you land at
- Your booking confirmation or boarding pass is the first place to look - the arrival terminal is usually printed next to the flight number.
- The airline's own flight status page is the most current source if the schedule has changed.
- A charter or holiday-package flight is more often Terminal 2; a scheduled flight on a national carrier is more often Terminal 1.
- A connection through Istanbul arrives at the domestic terminal, even though your journey started abroad.
- If you are unsure, send us the flight number - we track the flight itself and send the driver to the hall it actually lands at.
Moving between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2
You rarely need to, but it happens: a family travelling on two different airlines, or a domestic connection that lands in one building while the rest of the party arrives in another. The terminals are linked by the airport road, with a short shuttle ride or a walk of a few minutes between them. With several suitcases and children, waiting in one arrivals hall and letting the driver collect the whole party in one vehicle is simpler than dragging luggage between buildings.
Where the driver waits
Collect your bags, walk through to the arrivals hall and head for the meet & greet area J / 777. Our airport team holds your booking reference and takes you to your driver, so you are not scanning a row of name boards. The first 90 minutes after the actual landing time are included free of charge, and the window moves with the flight if it is delayed - a late landing does not change the price.
Departure day: the terminal matters more
- Check the departure terminal on your ticket the evening before - it is not always the one you arrived at.
- Plan to be at the terminal around three hours before an international departure in July and August, two to two and a half hours outside the peak.
- Add driving time on top: roughly 35-40 minutes from Belek, 40-50 from Kemer, 55-65 from Side and about two hours from Alanya.
- Tell us your flight number for the return as well, so the pickup time is calculated from the real departure, not from a rough guess.
- Only ticketed passengers pass the terminal entrance check, so say goodbye at the door rather than inside.
One price covers the whole vehicle whichever terminal you use, with no night surcharge and payment in cash to your driver. The terminal is our logistics problem, not yours.
