Is Yandex Metro accurate for getting from Kadıköy to Sabiha Gökçen Airport by metro/Marmaray, and do any transfers require walking outside?

TL;DR
Travelers say Yandex Metro is generally accurate for in-train travel times in Istanbul, especially on the Marmaray segment and the metro line to Sabiha Gökçen. However, transfer walking time may not be fully reflected, and Havaist is the more convenient option at about 250 TL.
What the community said
If you walk to the metro and continue to Sabiha Gökçen by rail, the trip usually involves two transfers: metro + Marmaray + metro. Yandex Metro is considered convenient for planning this route.

Based on traveler experience, Yandex Metro is fairly accurate for in-train travel time, but not necessarily for transfer walking. For example, a Marmaray segment of about 14 stops taking around 40 minutes is seen as realistic.

The Ayrılık Çeşmesi to Sabiha Gökçen segment in Yandex Metro is also reported as realistic: travelers have done Kadıköy to the airport in about 50 minutes, and a route with one stop less should be slightly faster. Still, many find Havaist much more convenient, so saving around 250 TL may not be worth it.
