Brisbane Airport (BNE) is Queensland’s main international gateway and a busy domestic hub, serving full-service carriers alongside low-cost airlines on both domestic and regional routes. It sits about 17 km northeast of the city centre, with the Airtrain linking terminals to Roma Street in roughly 20–25 minutes and fares that are typically in the mid-range for airport rail services; airport shuttle buses and taxis can take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, with costs varying accordingly. Car hire and ride-share are widely available. Pros: modern terminals, extensive route network and efficient rail access. Cons: can be busy at peak times and road transfers may be slower during CBD-bound peak traffic.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s major international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located about 35–45 km from the historic center and can take roughly 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public options include Havaist and IETT airport buses (fares typically in a moderate range) and a growing rail/shuttle network; taxis and shared transfers are common but can be pricier. Pros: modern facilities and extensive connections; cons: longer transfer times to central neighborhoods and occasional heavy traffic. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) acts as the budget and secondary airport on the Asian side, favored by low-cost and some regional airlines. It sits around 35–50 km from central Sultanahmet by road, with drive times usually 45–75 minutes depending on peak conditions. Ground links include Havataş and municipal buses, limited metro/rail connections, plus taxis—fares often lower than private transfers but travel times can be longer. Pros: often cheaper fares and quicker security; cons: fewer long-haul flights and less frequent rapid rail connections to the historic core.
