Istanbul’s airports serve different needs: Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s new international hub, handling most long-haul and premium carriers and typically offering a full range of lounges and services; it’s about 40–50 km from the historic center, with travel times of roughly 35–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, and 35–50 minutes via Havaist or IETT airport buses with fares usually in a mid-range band. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often used by low-cost and regional airlines and can be cheaper on many routes; it lies about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet, with buses and airport shuttles taking around 60–90 minutes and taxis shorter but sometimes costlier. Pros: IST offers extensive connections and modern facilities; SAW can be easier for Asia-side arrivals and budget carriers. Cons: both can involve long transfers in heavy traffic, and fares/times vary by time of day.

Alexandria is served primarily by Borg El Arab Airport (HBE), the city’s main international gateway and regional hub for a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers; it’s typically used for both leisure and business travel. The airport sits about 45–50 km southwest of Alexandria’s center, with car or taxi transfers taking roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic; shared minibuses and private shuttles are also common, with fares usually lower than private taxis. Borg El Arab offers a compact terminal with basic amenities—generally efficient but less extensive than major international hubs—so travelers can expect reasonable comfort at typically moderate-to-budget prices. For city-center access, domestic airports like El Nouzha (when operational) can be closer but are often limited in service, making Borg El Arab the practical choice for most visitors.
