The Antalya Airport, often known as AYT, can be found to the northeast of the city core of Antalya. The typical distance from the downtown area is around 14.5 kilometers.
AYT Passenger Rights
Originally, airlines were required by law to tell passengers of any changes to their reservation, such as a flight’s cancellation, delay, or upgrade/downgrade, as well as any other inconveniences that may arise. Of course, the ticket counters of airlines and travel agencies are good places to inquire about details.
Insider Advice for AYT Departures
When traveling to Antalya Airport (AYT) from the city center or any resort that you are staying at while on vacation, it is strongly recommended that you schedule your time to be at the airport for at least one and a half hours for flights within Turkey and two and a half hours for flights outside of Turkey.
It is important to keep in mind that you will have to wait in line at the airport’s main entrance, at the airline counter, and throughout the process of checking in for your flight. Moreover, during peak travel times, you’ll be competing with hundreds upon thousands of other tourists.
Walking time at the airport is estimated to be at least 15 minutes.
For international flights, you should check in no later than 60 minutes before departure; for local flights, you should check in no later than 45 minutes. If you don’t pay attention, you might end yourself losing all of your rights to the ticket and the trip. As a result, we urge you to be at the airport as early as possible. You should plan your transport between the airport and your hotel/resort at least 3,5 to 4,5 hours before your trip, taking into account the minimum transport time of approximately 1,5 hours + 30 minutes of probable traffic.
