TL;DR

Havaist buses depart from level -2 at the airport. You can pay with an Istanbulkart bought and topped up at an airport kiosk, or book a ticket in advance through the official Havaist website.

What the community said

Look for the Havaist departure area on level -2 of the airport. If using an Istanbulkart, tap it at the turnstile in the bus boarding area.

As an alternative to Istanbulkart, buy a ticket in advance on the official Havaist website. A traveler reported that QR payment may not be available at boarding, so arrive with a topped-up card or a pre-booked ticket.
