Cheap Flights from Istanbul to Abidjan — $391

Istanbul is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and many European carriers as well as Turkish Airlines; it typically positions as a full-service, premium gateway. Located about 40–50 km northwest of the historic center, transfer times can be roughly 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic, or 45–60 minutes by Havaist/shuttle buses with fares commonly in the mid-range for airport transfers. On the plus side IST offers extensive amenities and many long-haul connections; it can feel large and involve long walks between gates. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) generally functions as the secondary and more budget-oriented airport on the Asian side, favored by low-cost carriers and some regional airlines. It sits around 35–50 km from central European-side landmarks but is closer to many Asian-side neighborhoods; typical road journeys are about 35–60 minutes, while public buses or Havatas shuttles can take a similar time with lower fares. SAW can be easier to navigate and less congested for short-haul flights, though it may involve longer transfers if your destination is on the opposite side of the city and has fewer long-haul options.

Abidjan’s main gateway is Félix‑Houphouët‑Boigny International Airport (ABJ), a full‑service international hub that typically handles most long‑haul and regional flights as well as a mix of full‑service and some low‑cost carriers. It lies about 15–20 km east of downtown Abidjan; road travel usually takes 30–60 minutes depending on traffic, while taxis and private transfers are common and can cost roughly modest local fares, with occasional airport shuttle options. The airport can be convenient for international connections and has basic passenger services, but travelers should allow extra time for peak‑hour traffic and security checks. Smaller domestic airfields are used for internal routes.
