A Çukurova Airport to Incirlik Air Base transfer is usually the last leg of a very long trip. Maybe you left the US a day ago, connected in Europe or Istanbul, and crossed enough time zones that your body has given up guessing. There may be a spouse, kids and a stack of suitcases with you. The airport is on the Tarsus side; the base is east, on the far side of Adana. The drive is the short part. It is also when you are most tired.
The Last Link in a Long Chain
Connections slip. One missed leg and you are rebooked onto a later flight. We track the flight number on your booking, so the pickup moves with the actual landing. If you end up on a completely different flight, send the new number as a change request from the My Reservation page.
After baggage claim, look for your name on a sign at the arrivals exit. If you added a child seat when booking, it is already in the car. No wrestling with straps while holding a jet-lagged toddler.
Across the Çukurova Plain
The drive starts on the motorway from Tarsus toward Adana. We skip the city centre, take the northern route east and come down toward the base through Sarıçam. It is flat country, with broad fields either side. Summer arrivals meet real heat; winter brings mild, damp air.
Night arrivals usually find the road quiet. Morning rush hour around Adana is different, and gate queues vary too. If you need to report at a set time, choose your flight with that in mind.
At the Gate, or a Hotel First
The base sets its own access rules. We take you to the point the base allows, usually the main gate or visitor reception. If your sponsor or unit is meeting you, or has given you a specific meeting point, put it in the address field. Staying in a hotel in Adana the first night? Then make the hotel your drop-off.
Choose the vehicle by luggage, not head count. A single traveller is fine in a Business Sedan. A family moving with its life in suitcases needs a VIP Vito, and two families or a mountain of bags an eight-seat Mercedes Vito. A duty team arriving together fits a Mercedes Sprinter. Prices are per vehicle and listed side by side.
Heading Home, or Coming Back
Sorting the return early takes the stress out of your last day. The Add return option in the booking form puts the base-to-airport leg on the same reservation. If your assignment is extended or the flight changes, send a change request from the My Reservation page.
Work backwards from departure, allowing for the gate exit and check-in. For the area around the base, places to stay and day trips on time off, see our Incirlik Air Base page. To book, pick Çukurova Airport as pickup and Incirlik Air Base as drop-off.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I miss a connection on the way?
We track the flight number on your booking, so a late landing simply moves the pickup time. If you are rebooked onto a different flight altogether, send the new flight number as a change request from the My Reservation page. That way the driver is waiting for the plane you are actually on.
Should we go straight to the base or to a hotel?
That depends on the instructions from your unit or sponsor. If you are going straight to the base, we bring you to the point the base allows, normally the main gate. If you are spending the first night in an Adana hotel, choose the hotel as your drop-off and book a separate transfer to the gate the next day.
Do you meet flights that land in the middle of the night?
Yes. Long connecting itineraries often land late at night or before dawn, and we meet those flights too. Just enter the flight number correctly when booking. The roads are usually quiet at night, so the drive to the base area or to your hotel in Adana tends to be an easy one.
Should I book my return now?
If you know your departure date, use the Add return option to plan both legs on one reservation. If the date changes, send a change request from the My Reservation page. Pick the return time by counting back from your flight and allowing for the gate exit and airport check-in.
