Where is Sabiha Gökçen Airport in relation to Bursa?
Sabiha Gökçen Airport is an arrival point for Bursa trips, and Havaist provides a direct bus connection between the airport and the city’s intercity bus terminal. From Safran Hotel, the airport is about 130 minutes away by car; that is a hotel-to-airport travel time, not the duration of the bus journey.
For a central Bursa stay, a hotel in central Bursa is about a 12-minute walk from the city centre. Keep the airport-to-terminal bus and your onward trip through Bursa as separate parts of your plan.

How should you plan tickets and departure times?
Use Havaist’s website or mobile app to search for a service by selecting the departure point, destination and date, then choosing an available bus and paying by bank or credit card. Havaist makes services available for sale up to 30 days ahead, subject to availability, and ticket prices vary by trip and date.
Each ticket is for one direction and is personal to the named passenger. Seats are assigned, so use the seat shown on your ticket. Havaist says you can cancel for a full refund or change the route without a fee up to 2 hours before departure.
Your e-ticket is sent by email after payment. You can show its QR code or ticket number when boarding; you do not need to print it. Each passenger may bring 2 medium-sized suitcases weighing 30 kg in total at no charge. Extra baggage requires a ticket purchase.
For a flight departing from Sabiha Gökçen, Havaist advises buying a bus ticket that gets you to the airport at least 4 hours before the flight. Allow for the bus journey and any onward airport procedures when choosing a service.
What happens when you arrive at Bursa Terminal?
The direct airport bus arrives at Bursa Intercity Bus Terminal. Bursa Uludağ University identifies buses 93 and 43/H as connections from the terminal to its Görükle campus; the university says bus 93 reaches that campus in less time than bus 43/H. These routes are described for travel to the campus, not as a city-centre transfer.
If your destination is central Bursa, check the onward route from the terminal for your specific address before you travel. For sightseeing once you are in the centre, a one-day Bursa city-centre itinerary on foot covers places to combine on a walking day.
What should you check before travelling?
Schedules, available services and ticket prices can vary. Check the official site before you go: use Havaist for the Bursa bus’s schedule, route, ticket availability and current price, and confirm the boarding and arrival points for your trip.
Havaist also has physical ticket-sales points at Sabiha Gökçen Airport and Bursa Terminal. If you plan to buy in person, confirm current details with Havaist before setting out.
