Free Shuttle Service Offered By Turkey's Atlasjet

In 2008, Atlasjet began offering free shuttle service for passengers booked on Atlasjet Antalya - Istanbul - Antalya flights . The courtesy bus leaves to/from Antalya airport from selected departure points in Alanya, Serik (near the Side junction), Manavgat and it has been a resounding success. Previously, passengers travelling from outside Antalya to Antalya Airport had to get off the intercity bus about 2km outside the airport terminal buildings, and take a taxi from there to reach the airport complex.

Now, in addition to Antalya (to Alanya, Serik, Manvagat), Atlasjet has extended their free shuttle service to Atlatsjet flights to/from another 3 cities:

1. Adana Airport - Mersin/Tarsus (and vice versa)

2. Free shuttle to Kusadasi/Selcuk from Izmir airport (and vice versa): this is especially useful for travellers who fly in from Istanbul to Izmir for the purpose of visiting the ruins of Ephesus and/or the beach resort of Kusadasi. Previously travellers had to pay a hefty 80 euro for the airport transfer between Izmir airport and Selcuk/Kusadasi, or have to drag their bags to Izmir's Central Bus station and change on a mini-bus to Selcuk. Now it is available for free if you fly with Atlasjet.

3. Istanbul - Bodrum (vice versa): pick-up point at Bodrum's Otogar (Bus Station). Additional points of departure include Turgutreis, Bitez, Gumbet

See http://cmss.atlasjet.com/tr/kampanyalar/flybustr for more details, especially the time in advance of which you will need to be at the point of departure.

Passengers will need to present their booking confirmation (either in the form of a paper print-out or a text message/sms sent your cell phone that shows your Atlasjet PNR numbers and booking details). to the bus driver prior to boarding the bus.

For arriving passengers, simply show the driver your Atlasjet boarding pass when boarding the bus.

The free shuttle service is available, however, only for Atlasjet domestic flights.
