İETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only)orHavaist coach to Istanbul Airport?

The short answer

These do not go to the same place, so price is not the comparison. The İETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only) reaches Kadıköy, on the Asian shore, and Taksim across the Bosphorus; the Havaist coach to Istanbul Airport does not. The other airport, not the city. Useful only for a connection between the two; for the centre take the metro or a Havabüs coach.

The İETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only) is quicker: 1 h 27 against 2 h.

İETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only): 00:15–03:30, every night but Friday to Saturday. Havaist coach to Istanbul Airport: Runs all night.

Where each one leaves you

E-10 · İETTİETT bus E-10 to Kadıköy (night only)

From: The İETT stop on the road outside the terminal
To: Kadıköy, via Kurtköy and the D100 through Pendik, Kartal and Maltepe
Luggage: An ordinary İETT bus; İETT publishes no luggage rule for it.
Runs: 00:15–03:30
Journey: 87 min

This line only exists at night. Miss the 03:30 and the next public transport is the metro at 06:00 or a Havabüs coach for delayed flights, if one is running.

The cheapest thing that moves after the last metro on Sunday to Thursday nights — TRY 92.40 against TRY 300 on the Havabüs coach — and it takes 87 minutes.

The night fare is an open question: the tariff doubles bus fares between 00:30 and 05:30 unless a decision says otherwise, and none is published for this line. Budget for TRY 184.80 on the 01:05, 02:25 and 03:30 departures.

Pay with an İstanbulkart: a bank card is charged the single-use price, TRY 120.

No departures on the night from Friday to Saturday. The M4 runs through that night, every 30 minutes at double fare.

Round the clock, with holes: from the airport 00:05, 01:30, 03:00, 04:40 and 06:00, then roughly hourly to 22:50. Overnight the wait can be an hour and forty minutes.

Two hours on the operator's own timetable, and 85 km; traffic on the bridge decides the rest. Do not plan a connection tighter than four hours between landing here and departing there.

Havaist charges TRY 515 where İBB's tariff says TRY 530 — expect the operator's figure at the door.

A third bag, or an oversized one, is TRY 120.
