Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers; it’s about 40–50 km from the historic city center depending on route and can take 30–60+ minutes by taxi (fare typically higher than local trains) or 40–70 minutes by Havaist/shuttle buses with fares usually in an economical range. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) sits on the Asian side and often caters to low-cost and domestic flights; it’s roughly 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet and takes around 45–75 minutes by road or 60–90 minutes by public bus/metro connections. IST can be more convenient for international connections and amenities, while SAW can be cheaper for budget carriers but may add ground travel time depending on your destination side. Both airports offer car hires and app-based rides; pick based on ticket price, connection needs and which side of the city you plan to visit.
