Dallas is served primarily by Dallas/Fort Worth International (DFW) and Dallas Love Field (DAL). DFW is a major international hub that typically handles most long-haul and legacy-carrier traffic — American Airlines has a large presence — and is often perceived as a full-service option with a wide range of connections. It sits about 20–25 miles northwest of downtown Dallas; car rides can take 25–45 minutes depending on traffic, shuttles and rideshares are common, and the DART/Trinity Metro link plus airport shuttles can cost roughly $3–10. Pros: plentiful flights and amenities; cons: larger terminal complex and longer transfer times. Love Field is a smaller, more centrally located airport about 6–8 miles north of downtown that usually caters to short-haul and low-cost carriers. It is often seen as a budget-friendly alternative with quicker curb-to-gate times. Travel to downtown is typically 15–25 minutes by taxi or rideshare, with local buses offering cheaper options for modest fares. Pros: convenience and shorter walks; cons: fewer international routes and limited long-haul choices.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the new international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers and can be pricier on average than smaller fields; it sits about 40–50 km north of the historic center. Ground options include Havaist and municipal buses (roughly 45–75 minutes, fares typically in the moderate range), taxis (about 40–60 minutes, fares variable), and airport shuttles; travel times depend on traffic. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side functions more as a secondary, budget-friendly gateway favored by low-cost and some regional airlines, around 35–45 km from central Istanbul. SAW is usually cheaper to fly into for discount carriers and offers Havabus shuttles and buses (about 60–90 minutes to the city, low to moderate fares), and taxis (variable time and cost). Pros: IST provides broad international connections and modern facilities; SAW can be more economical for budget flyers. Cons: both airports can be far from the center and subject to heavy traffic, meaning transfers may take longer than expected.
