Doha is served primarily by Hamad International Airport (DOH), a modern international hub that typically handles long-haul and transfer traffic and hosts full-service carriers, notably Qatar Airways, alongside several international airlines. The airport lies about 20–25 km southeast of Doha’s city center; road transfers by taxi or ride-hail usually take 20–35 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly in the moderate range compared with regional standards. A dedicated metro line and airport shuttle services can be available for certain terminals, offering budget-friendly options but sometimes with longer door-to-door times. Pros: streamlined passenger facilities and plentiful transfer connections; cons: distance from downtown and occasional crowds during peak transfer periods.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s primary international hub, serving most full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it’s positioned northwest of the historic center and typically handles higher-end and connecting traffic. The airport is about 40–50 km from Sultanahmet and Taksim, with travel times usually 40–70 minutes by taxi depending on traffic (fares can commonly range from mid to high for Istanbul standards) and about 40–60 minutes by Havaist or IETT airport buses with modest ticket prices. Pros: modern facilities, many lounges, extensive route network and frequent connections. Cons: distance from the old city and variable road congestion can make transfers longer and slightly costlier than at closer airports. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) functions more as a budget and regional gateway on the Asian side, regularly used by low-cost carriers and some domestic services. It’s typically 35–45 km from central areas like Taksim or Sultanahmet, with travel times around 45–75 minutes by taxi (affordable to moderate fares) and roughly 60–90 minutes by public buses or Havatas shuttle services at lower ticket rates. Pros: often cheaper fares and quicker access for Asian-side travelers; smaller terminals can mean faster check-in and arrivals. Cons: fewer long-haul connections and longer cross-continental transit times if you need to reach the European side.
