Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s primary international hub, handling long-haul carriers and major full-service airlines alongside many regional connections; it’s typically perceived as a mid-to-upper range option in terms of amenities and fares. Located roughly 35–45 km from the historic city center, travel options include the M11 metro and express buses (around 30–60 minutes depending on traffic) and taxis or ride-shares (30–90 minutes), with public transport fares usually low and taxi rides notably higher. Pros: modern terminals, extensive lounge and transfer facilities, good connectivity for onward flights. Cons: distance from central districts and occasional heavy traffic for road transfers. Sabiha Gökçen International Airport (SAW) operates largely as Istanbul’s secondary airport and is often used by low-cost and charter carriers as well as regional services; it can be seen as a budget-friendly gateway for many travelers. The airport sits on the Asian side, about 35–45 km from central attractions on the European side; travel by metro extensions, Havatas/shuttle buses, and regular buses typically take 45–75 minutes, while taxis and transfers can be quicker but more variable depending on traffic. Pros: generally lower fares and shorter queues for some carriers, convenient for Asian-side neighborhoods. Cons: farther from European-side tourist spots and fewer direct long-haul options compared with the main hub.
Beijing is served primarily by Beijing Capital International (PEK) and the newer Beijing Daxing International (PKX), with smaller general aviation fields around the city. Capital has long been the international hub favored by legacy carriers and full-service airlines, while Daxing is positioning itself as a modern mega-hub that also hosts a mix of international and low-cost services. Both airports sit roughly 25–50 km from central Beijing depending on direction; travel times range from about 30–70 minutes by express train or airport shuttle and can be longer in peak traffic. Fares for the airport express and high-speed rail are typically modest, while taxis and ride-hailing can be convenient but more costly. Pros include extensive flight choices and frequent ground connections; cons can be distance from the city center, busy terminals, and occasional long transfer times between airports.
