Travelling with children is easier when the arrangement is settled before you land. Here is what the official sources say, and where they are silent.
Luggage help and strollers
We found no official statement on luggage help, strollers or child seats, in taxis or on the HAVAS shuttle. With a stroller and several bags, tell your provider the group size and bag count when you book a private transfer, so that the vehicle is large enough.

Child seats
If you need a child seat, request it when you book a private transfer, give the child's age and weight, and confirm it in your booking confirmation. Do not assume a taxi will have one.
The shuttle
The DHMI page lists the HAVAS passenger service, but its times and routes are on the HAVAS website in a dynamic form, and we could not read a timetable or fare. Check it for your date before you plan a family journey around it.
Taxis
The DHMI page lists commercial taxis and publishes no official tariff. Agree the price with the driver before you set off.
Journey length
DHMI gives the distance to the city centre as 20 km. Our route database estimates about 15 km and about 22 minutes to Gaziantep City Center. Traffic changes this, so allow extra time before a hotel check-in or a child's nap.
Late arrivals
Night services are not published, so with tired children do not plan on a shuttle or taxi being available after a late landing.
Practical points
Carry water, snacks and any medicine in your hand luggage, and keep passports and your accommodation address within reach.
The bottom line
With young children, a private transfer to your door is usually the calmer choice, especially after a late landing.
