Istanbul is served by two main airports with different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many regional connections; it’s located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic center and can take roughly 40–60 minutes by car depending on traffic. Public transport options usually include an airport metro line, shuttle buses and taxis, with fares often ranging from modest metro prices to higher taxi fares. Pros: modern facilities and wide route choice; cons: longer transfer times to central districts and occasional congestion. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) functions primarily as a budget and secondary airport on the Asian side, commonly serving low-cost and regional airlines and often perceived as cheaper for certain carriers. It sits roughly 30–45 km southeast of downtown and road travel commonly takes 45–75 minutes depending on time of day. Ground options typically include express buses, shared shuttles and taxis, with fares generally affordable though transfers across the Bosphorus can add time and cost. Pros: convenient for Asian-side arrivals and budget fares; cons: fewer long-haul options and potentially longer cross-city transfers.

Borg El Arab Airport (HBE) serves Alexandria as the main international gateway and typically handles a mix of scheduled international flights and seasonal charters, while smaller airfields can be used for general aviation. Carriers flying here are often full-service and regional budget airlines, so fares can be competitive compared with Cairo but may rise during holiday peaks. The airport sits about 45–55 km southwest of Alexandria’s city center; road transfer by taxi or shared van usually takes 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares often in a modest local range, and private transfers and rental cars are commonly available. Pros: relatively modern terminal facilities and fewer crowds than major hubs; cons: longer road transfer than a central airport and limited public-transport links for late-night arrivals.

In different months, ticket prices from Istanbul to Alexandria vary: minimum — $77 (August 2026), maximum — $165 (July 2026). Typically, the flight costs $88–$102.
