We're travelling to Malta late May - fly into IST arriving May 28 10pm. Flight to MLA is currently booked as a separate ticket departing May 29 10:35AM.
So will need to collect bags (and clear immigration) and stay overnight at a hotel then be back at the airport by 8am (say) - flight to MLA is business class.
Now all somewhat close by hotels look a bit dodgy but better hotels are 20-30K's away - we concerned about the transfer as I presume the morning traffic could be horrendous.
Any advice most welcome. Also Google advises me that taxis are "hit or miss" with accepting credit cards - prefer not to get Turkish Lira for 2 taxi rides - so I presume some sort of pre-paid car/driver transfer is the best bet.
