A Çukurova Airport to Oğuzeli transfer is a long overland trip, from the Mediterranean plain to the pistachio country south-east of Gaziantep. The airport is near Tarsus. Oğuzeli lies beyond Gaziantep city, on the side that opens towards Nizip. Below we cover what happens after you land, what the road is like, and how to make a drive of this length comfortable.
Walk Out, Find Your Name
The flight number in your booking is our schedule. If your plane is late, the pickup moves with it. Once you have your bags, come through the arrivals exit and your driver will be there holding a sign with your name.
Remember this is a long ride. If you want to buy something or make a call, do it in the terminal before you get in. After that, it is road.
Motorway, Mountains, City Edge
Most of the route is the Tarsus–Adana–Gaziantep motorway. First comes the flat plain around Adana, then Osmaniye, then the tunnels and viaducts of the Amanus Mountains. Over the pass the scenery changes completely: red earth, stony fields, olive and pistachio trees.
Approaching Gaziantep, the final stage begins. Depending on traffic, your driver either skirts the city or cuts through it to reach Oğuzeli. City approaches can get busy at evening rush hour, and the driver knows which way is flowing better.
The Right Car for a Long Drive
Over this distance, picking a vehicle is about more than seat numbers. Legroom, boot space and a chance to rest count too.

Arriving in Oğuzeli
Addresses in central Oğuzeli are easy to find. In villages and rural neighbourhoods directions matter more. In the notes, write the village or neighbourhood name, a nearby landmark and a phone number that will be on throughout the trip. For more on the district and other journeys from there, see our Oğuzeli page.
The Return: Which Airport?
Some of our passengers land at Çukurova and leave from Gaziantep Airport; others do the opposite. If you are flying home from Çukurova too, tick Add return in the booking form and set the Oğuzeli pickup in the same reservation. Count back from your flight, allowing for the long drive and check-in. To start, choose Çukurova Airport as pickup and Gaziantep Oğuzeli as drop-off and enter your flight number.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Çukurova Airport when Gaziantep Airport is closer?
Flight times, connections or fares sometimes make Çukurova Airport the better option. Travellers combining their trip with Adana or Mersin often choose it as well. In that case, covering the long road section door to door in a private car is far more comfortable than piecing together buses and taxis.
Where will I meet my driver?
Your driver waits at the arrivals exit of Çukurova Airport with a sign showing your name. We track your flight number, so if you are delayed the pickup time is adjusted to the actual landing. If your flight details change, send a change request through the My Reservation page.
Can I arrive at Çukurova and leave from Gaziantep Airport?
Yes. Book the arrival from Çukurova Airport to Oğuzeli, then make a separate booking from Oğuzeli to Gaziantep Airport for your departure. If both legs use Çukurova Airport, it is simpler to choose Add return and keep both journeys in a single reservation.
Which car is most comfortable for the long drive?
For one or two passengers, the Comfort Class gives plenty of space to rest or work on a long journey. Families do well in a VIP Vito, and small groups wanting a roomier cabin often choose the Ultra VIP Vito. The booking form shows the price of every class per vehicle.
