Istanbul is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Istanbul Airport (IST) is Turkey’s major international hub, handling long-haul and transfer traffic for full-service carriers and many international airlines; it’s located roughly 35–45 km northwest of the historic city center, with metro, airport shuttle buses and taxis typically taking 40–60 minutes depending on traffic (shuttle fares and metro tickets can be economical, taxis notably more). Sabiha Gökçen (SAW) functions as a secondary, budget- and low-cost-friendly gateway on the Asian side, about 45–55 km from central Sultanahmet and usually 60–90 minutes by bus, Havatas shuttles or taxi. IST often feels more modern and suited to connections, while SAW can be cheaper on low-cost carriers but sometimes less convenient for European-side arrivals.

Brussels Airport (BRU) is Belgium’s main international hub, serving long-haul and European connections and hosting flag and legacy carriers alongside several full-service and low-cost airlines. Located roughly 12 km northeast of the city center, it is typically accessible by train in about 20 minutes to Brussels Central with regular services; taxis or rideshares can take 20–40 minutes depending on traffic, and fares usually vary by route and operator. Pros include a wide range of shops, lounges and frequent international connections; cons can be busier security and occasionally higher transfer costs compared with smaller airports. Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL) functions largely as a budget and charter airport for the Brussels area, attracting many low-cost carriers offering value fares on European routes. It sits about 46 km south of central Brussels; transfer options include direct shuttle buses and private coach services that typically take around 45–75 minutes depending on traffic, local trains combined with buses, or taxis that can be longer and pricier. Positives are often lower advertised fares and simplified facilities, while downsides can be longer ground transfers and fewer amenities compared with the main airport.

The cost of a one-way flight from Istanbul to Brussels ranges from $45 (October 2025) to $129 (September 2026). On average, the ticket price is about $91–$185.
