Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the city’s primary international hub and usually handles long-haul and full-service carriers, alongside many flag and global airlines; it can be perceived as mid-to-premium priced compared with smaller airports. Located roughly 35–50 km from the historic center depending on route, typical transfer options include taxi or rideshare (about 40–60 minutes, fares can vary widely), Havaist and municipal airport shuttle buses (roughly 60–90 minutes, modest fares), and planned rail links; travel times depend on traffic. Pros: modern facilities, extensive connections and lounges; cons: distance from central districts and potentially longer transfer times in peak traffic. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) functions primarily as a secondary international and low-cost carrier base on Istanbul’s Asian side, commonly used by budget and charter airlines and often seen as a more economical option for short-haul flights. It sits about 35–45 km from central Sultanahmet and Taksim, with access via Havatas/Havaist shuttles, public buses, shared minibuses and taxis—journeys can take 45–90 minutes depending on traffic and ferry connections, and fares are generally lower than taxi rates. Pros: convenient for Istanbul’s Asian neighborhoods and budget travelers, shorter queues at times; cons: fewer long-haul services and less frequent public-transport direct links to some western districts.

Houari Boumediene Airport (ALG) serves as Algeria’s main international gateway and typically functions as both a national hub and the primary choice for long-haul and regional services. You’ll usually find flag carrier Air Algérie alongside international airlines and a mix of leisure carriers; budget options can be available on some regional routes. The airport sits about 20–25 km east of Algiers city center, with road transfer by taxi or shuttle taking roughly 25–45 minutes depending on traffic and costing a modest fare, while airport buses and private transfer services can be cheaper or pricier respectively. Pros: good route frequency and basic passenger facilities; cons: can be busy at peak times and traffic into the city may add unpredictability to journey times.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Istanbul to Algiers is $121 (November 2025), while the maximum is $131 (March 2026). On average, a ticket costs $125–$127.
