Istanbul is served by two main airports that split roles between international hub traffic and low-cost or domestic services. Istanbul Airport (IST) on the European side functions as the city’s primary international gateway and major transfer hub for full-service carriers, usually handling long-haul and intercontinental flights; it sits roughly 40–50 km from central Taksim/Sultanahmet, with taxis taking about 40–60 minutes depending on traffic and costing a wide range, while the Havaist shuttles and metro connections offer cheaper options in about 45–70 minutes. Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) on the Asian side typically caters to many low-cost and regional airlines and can be a more budget-friendly choice for domestic or short-haul routes; it’s around 40–50 km from the historic center too, with dedicated express buses and taxis taking about 60–90 minutes depending on traffic, often with lower fares on shuttle services. Pros: IST provides extensive transfer options and modern facilities, while SAW can be economical and less crowded for certain routes. Cons: both airports can be far from the center and subject to Istanbul traffic, so travelers may trade off convenience against price and airline choice.
Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport (BOD) serves as the main international gateway for Bordeaux and typically functions as a mid-sized international hub rather than a major long-haul transfer point. It hosts a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, so fares can range from budget-friendly to premium depending on carrier and season. The airport sits about 12 km (roughly 30–40 minutes) west of Bordeaux city center; taxis and rideshares usually take that long and can be moderately priced, while the dedicated shuttle bus (Navette 1) runs to the main train station in about 30–40 minutes for a small fare. Car rental and private transfers are common for regional travelers. Pros: relatively compact terminals and direct connections to southwestern France; cons: limited late-night services and fewer long-haul options compared with larger European hubs.
