Hamburg Airport (HAM) serves as the city’s main international gateway and also handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, so you can expect both network and budget options. It sits about 9–11 km north of the city center; typical travel times are 25–35 minutes by S-Bahn or regional train and 20–45 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public transport fares are usually modest (single tickets in the low euros), while taxi or ride-share trips can cost noticeably more. The airport is compact and convenient for transfers, with decent shopping and lounges; however it can be busy during peak hours, and some routes may be pricier than regional alternatives.
Istanbul is served by a major international hub and a secondary airport that typically handles budget and regional traffic. Istanbul Airport (IST) acts as the city’s primary long-haul and transfer hub, with full-service carriers and many global connections; it sits roughly 40–50 km from the historic center, with metro and Havaist shuttle buses taking about 35–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing in the mid-range for airport transfers. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often used by low-cost and regional airlines, around 35–45 km from central districts; shuttle buses and Havabus routes take roughly 60–90 minutes or faster by taxi at higher fares. Pros: IST offers extensive international connections and modern facilities, while SAW can be more budget-friendly for certain carriers and less congested for some routes. Cons: both can involve long transfer times to the heart of the city, and taxis may be expensive during peak periods.
