Istanbul is served primarily by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Istanbul Airport, on the European side, is the city’s main international hub and typically handles long-haul and full-service carriers alongside some low-cost operators; it can be perceived as pricier for convenience. It sits roughly 35–45 km from the historic center, with taxi or private transfer taking about 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing more than public transit; the Havaist airport buses and metro connections usually take 45–70 minutes with fares generally in a modest range. Pros: modern facilities and broad onward connections; cons: distance and variable travel times in peak traffic. Sabiha Gökçen on the Asian side is commonly used by budget and regional airlines and can be a practical alternative for low-cost fares or east-side access. It is approximately 35–50 km from central Sultanahmet or Taksim, with journey times varying—airport shuttles and Havaist buses typically take 60–90 minutes, while taxis are faster but more expensive and depend on congestion. The airport has a simpler, compact layout that can be more convenient for quick transfers, though international connection options are generally fewer than at IST. Pros: good value for budget travelers and closer to some suburbs; cons: fewer direct long-haul routes and longer transfer times across the city in heavy traffic.

Beirut–Rafic Hariri International (BEY) is Lebanon’s primary international gateway and typically handles the bulk of long-haul and regional flights, including flag-carrier Middle Eastern airlines and a mix of European and low-cost carriers. Located about 9–10 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) south of downtown Beirut, the airport can be reached by taxi, private transfer, or ride-hailing services; travel times vary widely with traffic and fares are usually moderate compared with regional capitals. A few shuttle and shared-ride options can be available for budget-conscious travelers. Pros: relatively compact layout and a wide range of international connections; cons: peak-hour congestion and variable security/processing times can affect comfort and punctuality.
