For anyone who last visited Adana years ago, a Çukurova Airport to Hotel Mavi Sürmeli transfer starts with a surprise: flights no longer land at the old airport inside the city but at Çukurova Airport near Tarsus. From there the motorway brings you to Adana, into the old centre of Seyhan and up to the hotel on İnönü Caddesi in Kuruköprü. This page focuses on meeting delegations and corporate groups.
The First Minutes of a Delegation Pickup
When you are meeting a delegation, the main task is getting everyone out together. We track the flight number, so if there is a delay the pickup moves with the landing time. The driver waits at the arrivals exit with a sign showing the name in the booking.
Putting the delegation leader's or organiser's name on the booking keeps things simple. Everyone heads for the same sign. Once the bags are in, the car sets off.
Motorway, Seyhan, İnönü Caddesi
Leaving the airport, the car turns east and spends the longest part of the trip on the motorway. Tarsus falls behind and the plain opens up. There is time to go over the programme or make the first calls.
City traffic begins as you enter Adana. Seyhan lies on the west bank of the river, so no bridge is needed. The last part runs through the old centre: the car heads into Kuruköprü and turns onto İnönü Caddesi. Several hotels stand on this street, so the full hotel name is in your booking and the driver pulls up at Hotel Mavi Sürmeli itself. In the evening rush this central stretch can take a little longer.
A Team on Different Flights
On corporate trips, team members do not always share a plane. Here is a simple way to plan:
- Make a separate booking for each flight
- Enter that flight's number in each booking, so each is tracked on its own
- Choose a vehicle class to suit the number of passengers on each flight
- For a group on the same plane, one vehicle is enough: Mercedes Vito, Mercedes Sprinter or Ultra VIP Sprinter
A single executive is well served by a Premium Sedan or Business Sedan, and a guest you are hosting by an Ultra VIP Vito. Prices are per vehicle and the form lists every class side by side.
Going Home After the Programme
When the meetings end, the ride back should already be sorted. There is no need for a separate booking: the "Add return" option adds the hotel-to-airport leg to the same reservation. Remember that your flight leaves from Çukurova Airport, and choose the pickup time allowing for leaving the centre, the motorway and check-in.
For the hotel's surroundings and business trips during your stay, see our Hotel Mavi Sürmeli page. To book, choose Çukurova Airport as pickup and the hotel as drop-off, then enter the flight number and number of passengers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which airport will I land at when flying to Adana?
Passenger flights to Adana now land at Çukurova Airport near Tarsus. The old Şakirpaşa Airport is close to the hotel's area, but it no longer handles passenger flights. From Çukurova Airport you reach the hotel directly, via the motorway and then the city streets, with no changes on the way.
Whose name goes on the sign?
The sign shows the passenger name in the booking. If you are meeting a delegation, use the name of the delegation leader or organiser, so the group gathers at one point. Make sure the other members know that name too; it helps them find the driver quickly at the arrivals exit.
What if team members arrive on different flights?
Create a separate booking for each flight and enter that flight's number. Each flight is then tracked on its own and the pickup follows its landing time. People arriving on the same plane can share one vehicle sized to their number, at a single per-vehicle price.
How should I set the pickup time for the return?
Count back from your departure time. Allow for getting out of central traffic from the hotel in Kuruköprü, the motorway drive and check-in and security at the airport. If the return falls in the evening rush hour, choosing a slightly earlier pickup keeps the trip relaxed.
