Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as many regional flights; it’s typically the go-to for premium and connecting itineraries. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic city center, travel to central areas usually takes 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, or about 60–90 minutes by public transport using metro and bus links; fares can range from modest metro fees to higher taxi fares. The airport offers extensive amenities and frequent transfer options, but its large scale can mean longer walking distances and occasional queueing. For cheaper point-to-point or low-cost flights, Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side is often used.

Astrakhan is served primarily by Narimanovo Airport (ASF), the city’s main international and regional gateway. It typically handles scheduled domestic flights and a smaller number of international services, often operated by Russian carriers and select low-cost or regional airlines. Located about 12–15 km northwest of Astrakhan city center, transfer times are usually 20–35 minutes by taxi or private car; local bus and marshrutka options can take 30–50 minutes with modest fares. Narimanovo can be convenient for direct regional connections and quick access to the city, though facilities are relatively compact compared with major hubs and peak-season waits or limited service choices can be drawbacks.

In different months, ticket prices from Istanbul to Astrakhan vary: minimum — $165 (October 2025), maximum — $188 (November 2025). Typically, the flight costs $175–$178.
