Calgary International Airport (YYC) is the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for both full-service and low-cost carriers, typically handling transborder, domestic and seasonal intercontinental flights. It sits about 10–15 km northeast of downtown Calgary, with the Calgary Transit bus and the Blue Line CTrain extension providing connections in roughly 30–45 minutes; taxis and rideshares can be 20–30 minutes depending on traffic, often costing more than public transit. YYC is generally seen as mid-range in price: competitive for domestic routes and occasionally pricier on last-minute international legs. Pros include modern facilities and multiple dining options; cons can be longer walks between gates and variable peak-hour queues.

Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city's main international hub, serving flag carriers and many long-haul and full-service airlines alongside a growing number of low-cost carriers. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center, it typically feels modern and spacious but can involve longer transfers to central districts. Ground options include Havaist and municipal buses (roughly 60–90 minutes depending on traffic, fares usually in a mid-range band), taxi rides (around 40–70 minutes, higher cost), and a suburban rail link that shortens some routes. Pros: extensive international connectivity and modern facilities; cons: greater distance to the old city and variable travel times in peak traffic.
Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) functions as Istanbul’s secondary international gateway with a stronger focus on low-cost and regional carriers as well as some full-service airlines. It sits on the Asian side, approximately 35–50 km east of central European-side attractions but closer to Kadıköy and other Anatolian neighborhoods. Transport options include Havatas/Havaist shuttles and municipal buses (usually 60–90 minutes to major hubs), Marmaray plus bus/taxi combinations that can be quicker under good conditions, and taxis (time and price dependent). Pros: often cheaper fares and convenient access for Asia-side passengers; cons: fewer long-haul connections and longer journeys to European-side landmarks.
