TL;DR
The hotel-to-airport transfer in Antalya can take 1.5 to 3+ hours due to tourist pickups, rest stops, and traffic. Plan to leave at least 4–5 hours before your flight.
Pickup was at 14:30 for a 20:15 flight. The bus was comfortable with tables and few passengers, but the journey was very long with heavy traffic near the airport — arrived at 18:00. Only two check-in desks for a large crowd caused near-panic; a third desk was opened and they just made it to the gate as boarding started. No time to spare at the airport.
One year the bus waited 40 minutes for listed passengers who never showed up, plus a mandatory rest stop for food and bathroom. The total journey time can be significantly longer than expected, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Passengers were once asked to get off the bus for about 20 minutes mid-route because the vehicle was completely stuck in traffic and not moving at all.
