Istanbul is served primarily by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Istanbul Airport (IST) is the newer, large international hub that typically handles most long-haul and full-service carriers, so it can feel more modern but busier; it lies about 35–45 km northwest of the historic city center with road transfers taking roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing in the range of roughly 8–30 EUR by taxi or airport shuttle, while municipal bus and metro connections can be lower-cost but slower. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) operates more low-cost and regional carriers and often sees cheaper fares on budget itineraries; it sits on the Asian side about 35–45 km southeast of central Istanbul, with transfers typically taking 45–75 minutes and taxis or shuttles generally costing a similar range to IST. Pros: IST offers wide international connectivity and modern facilities; SAW can be easier for budget travelers or trips to the Asian side. Cons: both airports can be affected by Istanbul traffic and security/wait times, so allow extra time for connections.
