Dortmund Airport (DTM) functions mainly as a regional and low-cost gateway for the Ruhr area rather than a major long-haul hub. It typically hosts budget carriers and some leisure and charter airlines, so fares can often be lower than at larger nearby hubs but vary by season. The airport sits about 12 km northeast of Dortmund city center; by S-Bahn or regional train plus a short bus or tram leg the journey usually takes around 20–35 minutes, with fares commonly in a modest local range. Taxis and rideshares cut travel time to roughly 20 minutes depending on traffic and will cost more. Pros: compact terminal, quick transfers for short-haul travelers; cons: limited long-haul connections and fewer premium services compared with larger German hubs.
Istanbul is served primarily by two major airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub handling most long-haul and premium carriers; it’s about 35–45 km from the historic peninsula and can be reached by taxi or airport shuttle in roughly 35–60 minutes depending on traffic, with fares typically higher than city transit. The airport offers frequent coach and Havaist services (moderate fares) and a growing rail link that can shorten journeys. Pros: modern facilities and broad airline choice; cons: distance from central neighborhoods and variable transfer times. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) functions more as a budget and secondary international gateway, favored by low-cost and some regional carriers. Located on the Asian side about 40–50 km from Sultanahmet, it usually takes 45–75 minutes by road; public buses, private shuttles and taxis serve the route with generally lower fares for buses and higher for door-to-door taxis. Pros: often cheaper fares and shorter queues for budget flyers; cons: farther from some tourist areas and fewer long-haul options.
