Düsseldorf Airport (DUS) is the Rhine-Ruhr region’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and long-haul flights alongside low-cost and regional operators. It’s about 7–10 km north of the city center, with journey times of roughly 15–20 minutes by regional train (S-Bahn/RE) or 20–30 minutes by taxi; fares for public transport are usually modest while taxis can be noticeably more expensive. The airport is well-equipped with lounges, frequent connections and a wide range of shops, which can make it convenient for business and leisure travelers, though peak times may be busy and walking distances between terminals can be significant. Overall it’s a comprehensive hub for international and domestic travel.
Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international hub and a modern facility handling most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic; it typically hosts national flag carrier flights alongside many global airlines. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center, travel times to Sultanahmet or Taksim can be roughly 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares often higher than domestic transfers; the new metro line, airport shuttles, and intercity buses provide budget options usually taking around an hour or more and costing modest rates. The airport is generally spacious and well-equipped for international connections, though transfer times can be longer because of its distance from the city core.
Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) primarily serves low-cost and regional carriers and can be a cost-conscious choice for domestic and short-haul international flights. Positioned on the Asian side about 35–45 km from central areas like Kadıköy and Taksim, typical road transfers are roughly 40–70 minutes depending on rush-hour traffic; public buses, Havabus shuttles, and direct metro/rail links (where available) offer cheaper options with fares that are usually modest. SAW is often seen as more convenient for eastern arrivals and departures, though it can be less convenient for travelers aiming for historic sites on the European side due to additional crossing time and occasional congestion.
