Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s large international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and typically offering a wide range of amenities; it sits about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, with taxis and private transfers taking roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic, airport shuttles and Havaist buses around 60–90 minutes, and metro connections becoming more direct — fares and journey times can vary. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) is positioned as a budget- and low-cost-friendly option on the Asian side, about 45–55 km from central Sultanahmet; travel by Havatas/Havaist shuttles or buses commonly takes 60–90 minutes, while taxis are faster but pricier. Pros: IST offers greater frequency and international links; SAW can be cheaper on low-cost carriers and easier for eastern neighborhoods. Cons: both airports can involve long transfers in peak traffic, and SAW’s distance from the historic peninsula may add time and cost.
Felix Houphouet-Boigny International Airport (ABJ) is Abidjan’s main international gateway and typically serves as the country’s primary hub for long-haul and regional carriers, including national airline services and several African and European operators. Located about 15–20 km (roughly 30–45 minutes) from the city center, transfer options include taxis, shared shuttles and occasional hotel transfers, with fares that can vary from modest flat rates to higher metered amounts depending on time and traffic. The airport generally offers standard passenger amenities and duty-free shopping, making it convenient for international connections, while traffic congestion at peak times and varying service speeds can be downsides for tight transfers.
