Late-Night and Early-Morning Arrivals at Dalaman Airport
Many holiday flights to Dalaman land late in the evening or in the early hours of the morning. After a long day of travelling, the last thing you want is to work out how to reach your hotel or villa in the dark. Here is how to make a late arrival easy.
Why late arrivals need a little planning
Local buses from Dalaman Airport run less often in the evening and stop altogether at night. Taxis are available outside the terminal, but at night you may face a queue, and with a family, luggage and a long drive to Fethiye, Ölüdeniz or Kalkan ahead, it helps to know exactly who is picking you up and what you will pay.
How a pre-booked transfer works at night
- Your driver waits for you in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name, whatever time you land.
- We plan your pickup around your flight number, so give it to us when you book.
- If your flight is delayed, your driver waits for up to 4 hours free of charge.
- The price is agreed when you book and you pay on arrival.
Before you fly
- Save our WhatsApp number and make sure your phone is charged for landing.
- Have the full address of your hotel or villa ready, ideally with a map pin.
- Staying in a villa? Check with the owner how you will collect the keys and get in on arrival.
- Travelling with a baby or young children? Request a child seat when you book.
After you land
International flights use Terminal 2. Once you have passed passport control and collected your bags, walk out into the arrivals hall and look for your name. There are ATMs in the terminal if you need some Turkish lira for the first evening.
Early-morning departures
The same applies on the way home. If your flight leaves early in the morning, book your return transfer at the same time as your arrival so your pickup is arranged before you go. We will confirm the pickup time with you based on your flight and where you are staying.
Landing late? Book your transfer in advance and start your holiday with a straightforward ride to your door.
