Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) is the Netherlands’ main international hub, handling a broad mix of full-service carriers and many European low-costs on long- and short-haul routes. Located about 17 km southwest of the city centre, it’s typically reached in 15–20 minutes by direct train (fare ranges can be roughly €4–€6) or by taxi in 20–40 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary). Shuttle buses and private transfers are also common. Pros: extensive connections, strong ground transport links and plenty of amenities; cons: can be busy at peak times and security or transfer queues may add extra time. For budget travellers, regional and low-cost options frequently fly into Schiphol as well.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many global alliances; it’s generally seen as mid-to-premium in facilities and fares can vary widely depending on carrier and season. Located roughly 35–45 km from the historic center, travel options include metro (about 40–50 minutes), Havaist/shuttle buses (45–75 minutes) and taxis (45–60 minutes) with fares ranging from moderate to high depending on time and traffic. Pros: modern terminals, extensive connections; cons: longer transfers to central districts in peak traffic. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) typically serves low-cost and regional carriers and can be cheaper for budget-minded travelers. Situated on the Asian side about 35–50 km from Sultanahmet, it’s commonly reached by Havatas/Havaist buses or shared shuttles (45–70 minutes) and ferries from the city (60–90 minutes), while taxis can be quicker but more expensive. Pros: often lower fares and less crowding; cons: fewer intercontinental routes and longer cross-continental transfers.
