If you are making a Çukurova Airport to Durmaz Aile Pansiyonu transfer with children, half the planning happens before you set off. The airport is near Tarsus; the guesthouse is on Hüseyin Baykara Caddesi in the Ayas neighbourhood of Yumurtalık. In between lie a motorway and a long road across the plain. For a family that means thinking about nap times, snacks and child seats. Here is the journey seen through a parent's eyes.
Before You Go: Details for the Booking
A few lines in your booking take most of the surprises out of a family trip.
- Flight number: if the plane is late, the pickup is adjusted
- Number of child seats and the children's ages, added as an extra
- A short note in the comments if you have a pushchair or bulky luggage
- The name you want on the sign
With that information you can pick the right class and lose no time on arrival.
Landing, the Sign, the Seats
We track your flight, and if it is delayed the pickup moves to the actual landing time. Once you have the pushchair and cases off the carousel, look for the sign with your name at the arrivals exit.
Children go into their seats, the pushchair goes in the back. For a tired child the first minutes after a flight matter, and a car that is ready and waiting keeps them short.
Time on the Road
The car heads east from the airport on the motorway towards Adana. After Adana it turns south and runs across the fields of the Çukurova plain down to Yumurtalık. The road is wide and flat, and most children fall asleep on this stretch.
Summer middays on the plain are hot. Flights landing early in the morning or in the late afternoon can make the ride easier on small children. In town the car heads for Ayas and stops at the guesthouse door on Hüseyin Baykara Caddesi. With a clear street name and number, the last part is simple. For more on the area and trips during your holiday, see our Durmaz Aile Pansiyonu page.
A Car the Size of Your Family
Even a family of four with a pushchair and beach gear fills a sedan's boot. That is why we usually suggest a Vito for families with children. The VIP Vito seats up to six, the Ultra VIP Vito offers a more comfortable cabin, and the Mercedes Vito takes up to eight, grandparents included. Several families holidaying together can book the fifteen-seat Mercedes Sprinter. For a couple without children, Comfort Class is enough. Prices are per vehicle.
Going Home
The return needs no separate booking. Use "Add return" in the form to add the guesthouse-to-airport leg to the same reservation. Count back from the flight, allowing for the drive across the plain, traffic around Adana and the extra time everything takes at the airport with children. Confirm the guesthouse's opening period and check-in and check-out times with them. To start, choose Çukurova Airport as pickup and Durmaz Aile Pansiyonu as drop-off, then enter your flight number and child seat needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which way does the car go to the guesthouse?
The car heads east from the airport on the motorway towards Adana. After Adana it turns south and crosses the Çukurova plain down to Yumurtalık. In town it makes for the Ayas neighbourhood and stops at the guesthouse door on Hüseyin Baykara Caddesi. There are no changes, so you never have to move the children between vehicles.
Will a pushchair fit in the car?
A folding pushchair travels much more comfortably alongside suitcases in the luggage area of the Vito classes. Sedan boots are more limited. Mentioning the pushchair and the number of bags in the booking notes helps you choose the right vehicle class.
What time of day is easiest for landing with small children?
There is no firm rule, but summer middays on the plain road are hot. Flights landing early in the morning or in the late afternoon are usually easier on young children. Whatever time you land, we track your flight, so the pickup follows the actual landing time.
Will there be a child seat on the way back too?
When you add the return with "Add return", state your child seat needs for that leg as well. Child seats are added as an extra for each journey. If the number of children or your dates change, send a change request through the My Reservation page.
