Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub on the European side, typically handling majority of long-haul and full-service carriers as well as some low-cost operators; it’s roughly 35–45 km north of the historic center, with metro, Havaist express buses and taxis usually taking about 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing in the range of moderate to higher fares. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side tends to be a budget-leaning option favored by low-cost and regional airlines; it sits about 40–50 km from central Sultanahmet, with shuttle buses, Havatas services, and taxis taking around 50–75 minutes and often being slightly cheaper. Pros: IST offers broad international connections and modern facilities, while SAW can be easier for some eastern routes and budget fares; cons: both can be affected by heavy traffic and transfers between the two airports may be time-consuming.
