It runs through the night with one hole. From the airport: 00:30, 01:15, 02:15, then nothing until 04:30, then 05:30 and roughly every 40 minutes through the day to 23:45. Land at 02:30 and the wait is two hours.

Eleven times the metro fare, for a seat, a hold, a stop in the square itself and a night service. By day the M11 plus three M2 stops is TRY 76.74 and about 45 minutes.

The 90 minutes is Havaist's own figure; the operator warns that routes and times change with traffic and asks you to be at the stop before departure.

Which of the two Taksim routings a departure takes is marked on Havaist's timetable in orange (via Beşiktaş) or blue (express); both end at Taksim.

A third bag, or an oversized one, is TRY 120 — a quarter of the fare again.

Round the clock, with gaps. From Istanbul Airport: 00:40, 01:45, 02:45, then nothing until 04:20, 06:00, 07:30, and roughly hourly at 20 past the hour to 23:20.

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.
