Denver International Airport (DEN) is the region’s major international hub, handling most long-haul and domestic flights and serving legacy carriers like United alongside a range of low-cost airlines. Located about 25 miles (40 km) northeast of downtown Denver, travel time by the A Line rail is typically around 37–45 minutes with fares usually in the low double digits; taxis or ride-hailing can take 35–60 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. DEN offers extensive passenger amenities and strong connectivity, though its distance from the city can mean longer transfers and occasional congestion at peak times. For budget-focused travelers, several nearby suburban airports can be alternatives for specific carriers or routes.

Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) functions as the city’s international hub for long-haul and premium carriers, handling most flagship and connecting flights; it sits roughly 35–45 km from the historic center, with taxis typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and fares often in the mid-range for a major European city. Ground links include Havaist and municipal buses (about 40–90 minutes) and planned metro connections. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side tends to host low-cost and regional carriers and can be cheaper for budget travelers; it’s about 45–60 km from central Sultanahmet with bus or shuttle rides taking 60–90 minutes. Pros: IST offers broad connectivity and modern facilities; SAW can be quicker for Asian-side arrivals and often has lower fares. Cons: both can involve long transfers across the city and variable journey times in heavy traffic.
