Cancún International Airport (CUN) is Mexico’s Caribbean gateway and typically serves as the region’s main international hub, handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers on both long-haul and regional routes. The airport sits roughly 16–20 km (about 20–30 minutes) from the hotel zone and 25 km to downtown Cancún; shared shuttles, private transfers and taxis are common, with local buses being the cheapest option but slower. Expect a range of transfer costs depending on service level—economy buses can be the most budget-friendly while private shuttles or taxis cost more. Pros: frequent flights, modern facilities and many onward transport options; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfers into tourist areas may add time and expense.
Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles: Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and transfer traffic and hosting legacy and many full-service carriers, while Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) to the east typically caters to low-cost and regional airlines, often with cheaper fares on short-haul routes. IST sits about 35–45 km from the historic center; travel options include taxi (roughly 35–60 minutes depending on traffic), the Havaist airport buses (about 60–90 minutes) and a growing rail link, with fares varying by service and class. SAW is around 45–60 km from central Istanbul’s main tourist areas; transfers are usually by Havabus/shuttle or taxi (45–75 minutes), with lower-cost shuttle buses being a common value choice. Pros: IST offers modern terminals and extensive transfer connections, while SAW can be more convenient for eastern suburbs and budget travelers. Cons: both can be subject to heavy traffic delays for road transfers, and SAW may have fewer long-haul options and amenities compared with IST.
