Cincinnati is served mainly by Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), an international hub located across the Ohio River in Kentucky that functions as a mix of legacy-carrier and low-cost operations and is notable for cargo traffic. CVG is typically seen as a mid-priced option compared with larger hubs, and is about 13–16 miles (roughly 20–30 minutes by car) from downtown Cincinnati depending on traffic. Ground access includes rental cars and taxis, with ride-hailing taking 20–35 minutes; public buses and shuttle services also run to the city in about 35–50 minutes with modest fares. Pros: a compact layout and ample parking can make connections and car access straightforward; cons: being across the river means an extra 10–20 minutes of driving and fewer direct rail links than some urban airports.
Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s located about 35–50 km northwest of the historic city center, with typical transfer times of 30–60 minutes by taxi or 40–75 minutes via Havaist shuttles and public bus (fares usually range from moderate to mid-level). Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is commonly used by low-cost and regional airlines, roughly 35–45 km from central areas, with travel times of 45–75 minutes by Havabus, minibus or taxi (fares tend to be lower to mid). Pros: IST offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; SAW can be cheaper and less congested for budget travelers. Cons: both can involve significant travel time in peak traffic and higher taxi fares compared with smaller cities.
