Indira Gandhi International (IGI) in Delhi is the city’s primary international hub, handling the bulk of long-haul and premium carriers alongside many full-service Indian airlines; some low-cost carriers also operate here. Located about 16–18 km southwest of central New Delhi, it’s typically reachable by the Airport Express train in around 20–25 minutes (fare usually higher than local trains) or by metro and road transport in 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; app taxis and prepaid airport cabs commonly cost more than public transit. Pros: modern terminals, wide range of lounges, and many flight options. Cons: security queues and peak-hour road congestion can add transfer time.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, serving long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many regional connections; it typically handles the bulk of international traffic and premium airline operations. Located around 35–45 km northwest of the historic city center, transfers can take 30–60+ minutes by taxi or private car depending on traffic, while the Havaist and public bus services usually take 40–70 minutes with fares generally in the low-single to mid-double-digit TRY/EUR range; a metro extension also provides rapid links for many travelers. The airport can be efficient and modern, though busy peak periods may affect wait times; its extensive amenities suit transit passengers, while the distance from central neighborhoods can increase transfer costs and time compared with closer fields. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) typically functions as Istanbul’s secondary airport and is often associated with low-cost and domestic carriers plus some international budget routes. It lies about 30–50 km southeast of the city center, with road transfers taking roughly 40–90 minutes by taxi or shuttle depending on traffic; dedicated Havatas/Havaist buses and commuter ferries combined with land connections can be more economical, with fares usually lower than private transfers. SAW can offer competitive ticket prices and fewer crowds at times, but it may be less convenient for travelers staying on the European side due to longer commutes; expect basic but sufficient facilities geared toward short-haul and budget-conscious passengers.
Fly direct from Delhi to Istanbul for the quickest, most convenient travel between these vibrant cities — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy Istanbul’s sights.
