Bukhara Airport (BHK) serves as the regional gateway to one of Uzbekistan’s historic cities, typically handling a mix of domestic and some international flights rather than acting as a large international hub. It is commonly used by national carriers and smaller regional airlines, often offering competitively priced connections compared with larger airports. The airport lies roughly 4–8 km from Bukhara’s historic center; taxis and shared minibuses are the main options, usually taking about 10–20 minutes depending on traffic and costing a modest fare. Facilities are modest and practical, making arrivals and departures straightforward, though passengers should expect fewer lounges and retail choices than at major airports. Overall it can be convenient for short transfers and direct regional travel but may be limited in late‑night services and amenities.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub and typically handles most long-haul and premium carriers, along with many full-service European and Middle Eastern airlines. It sits on the city’s European side, roughly 40–50 km from the historic center; road transfer times usually range from 35–75 minutes depending on traffic, with taxis, airport shuttles and a growing rail connection available—expect fares to vary widely between budget shuttles and metered taxis. The facility is generally modern and well-equipped for transfers, but peak-hour traffic and distance to central districts can make journeys slower and costlier than smaller airports.
Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) primarily serves low-cost and regional carriers and is often perceived as the budget-friendly alternative for Istanbul travel. Located on the city’s Asian side about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet and Taksim, typical travel times by road are 40–90 minutes depending on congestion; public options include metro/rail links, express buses and taxis with modest fare ranges. The airport is usually more compact and easier to navigate than the main hub, but connections across the Bosphorus can add transfer time and occasional inconvenience for travelers heading to European-side destinations.
