Istanbul’s two main airports serve different roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is the large international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s positioned on the European side about 35–45 km from the historic center, with travel times usually 40–60 minutes by taxi or 50–90 minutes by Havaist shuttle bus depending on traffic (fares commonly range from moderate to mid-priced). Metro and planned rail links can shorten commutes. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side tends to host many low-cost and regional flights, sitting roughly 35–45 km from central districts; travel time can be 45–75 minutes by bus or taxi, with budget-friendly shuttle and public bus options. Pros: IST offers broad connectivity and more premium services; SAW can be cheaper and more convenient for some Asian-side locations. Cons: both can be a fair distance from central Istanbul and journeys may be affected by heavy traffic.

Benghazi’s Benina International Airport (BEN) serves as the city’s main international gateway and a practical hub for regional and a few longer routes, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional/budget operators. It lies about 20–25 km southeast of the city center, with road transfers usually taking 20–40 minutes depending on traffic; taxi fares can be modest but variable, while private transfers and occasional shuttle services are other common options. Pros include straightforward facilities and proximity to the main highway; cons can be limited flight frequencies and fewer passenger amenities compared with larger North African hubs. Travelers should expect usual variability in prices and schedules.
