Istanbul is served primarily by Istanbul Airport (IST) and Sabiha Gökçen (SAW). Istanbul Airport is the city’s main international hub, handling long-haul and transfer traffic for full-service carriers as well as many low-cost and legacy airlines; fares there can be mid-to-high depending on season. It sits roughly 35–50 km from the historic center, with travel options including metro and express buses taking about 35–60 minutes (fares typically range from inexpensive public transit to moderate for airport shuttles). The airport is modern and well-equipped for connections, though journeys to central districts can be lengthy. Sabiha Gökçen, on the Asian side, is a popular base for budget and regional carriers and generally offers lower-cost options on short-haul routes. It’s about 45–60 km from central Istanbul, reachable by bus or shuttle in roughly 50–90 minutes and by private transfer for a faster, costlier ride. SAW can be more convenient for travelers staying on the Asian side but is smaller and has fewer long-haul services. Both airports provide taxi and ride-hailing; traffic can considerably extend transfer times during peak hours, so allow extra time for connections.

The cost of a one-way flight from Istanbul to Belfast ranges from $72 (February 2026) to $149 (March 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $101–$105.

Belfast is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Belfast International (BNI) north of the city is typically a budget and short-haul hub for low-cost and charter carriers, often used for cheaper flights across Europe; it sits about 26 km from the city centre and travel is usually around 25–40 minutes by car or taxi, with shuttle buses and coach services taking roughly 35–50 minutes and costing moderate fares. George Best Belfast City (BHD) lies much closer at about 3 km from the centre and is generally preferred for business and short domestic/near-European routes, reachable in 10–20 minutes by taxi or local bus. Pros: City is well served for convenience (City) and value (International). Cons: International can be a longer transfer and City can be pricier and smaller with limited facilities.
