Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s main international gateway and a large hub for full-service carriers, typically hosting national flag carrier flights alongside many long-haul connections. Located about 35–45 km northwest of the historic city center, it can take 40–60 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares usually higher than inner-city rides; Havaist airport buses and municipal buses offer cheaper transfers in roughly 60–90 minutes. Pros: modern facilities, wide route network and plentiful lounges; cons: long transfer distances and occasional heavy traffic mean more time for arrivals and departures. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) serves Istanbul’s Asian side and is often positioned as a budget- and low-cost-friendly alternative with many leisure and regional carriers. It lies about 30–50 km from central European-side attractions and 20–30 km from some Asian-side neighborhoods; travel times can range from 45 minutes to over 90 minutes by road depending on traffic. Shuttle buses and Havatas/Havabüs services plus taxis provide links, with coach fares typically lower than taxi costs. Pros: generally lower fares on some routes and closer to eastern districts; cons: fewer long-haul connections and potentially longer cross-city transfers if your destination is on the opposite shore.

Auckland Airport (AKL) is New Zealand’s main international gateway and the country’s busiest hub, serving flag carrier and full-service international airlines alongside several low-cost and regional carriers.

The airport sits about 21 km (roughly 30–40 minutes) southwest of Auckland city center by car, depending on traffic; airport shuttles and rideshares typically take similar times, while the frequent SkyBus coach runs from central locations in about 40–60 minutes with fares usually positioned as mid-range for convenience. On the plus side, AKL generally offers comprehensive passenger facilities and many onward connections; downsides can include peak-hour road congestion and occasional premium pricing for taxis and on-site parking.
